Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The purpose of this 24-week storage study was to observe and measure changes in the quality of degermed cornmeal stored in paper, cotton, and polyethylene-film bags under control, ambient, and high humidity conditions. The study was designed to answer the following questions: (1) How do polyethylene-film bags compare with paper and cotton bags for preserving the quality of cornmeal? (2) How well do the fat acidity values and oil content predict deterioration in stored cornmeal? (3) What role does moisture play in the deterioration of cornmeal? (4) What criteria can be used to define quality in cornmeal?
