Corn and Corn Product Testing

Corn is an annual monoecious cross-pollination plant. It is an important food crop and feed crop. It is also the world's highest-yielding crop. Its planting area and total output are second only to rice and wheat. Corn is native to Central and South America. It is now cultivated all over the world, and mainly distributed between 30° - 50° latitude. The most cultivated areas are the United States, China, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, India and Romania. Corn has long been known as longevity food, rich in protein, fat, vitamins, trace elements, cellulose, etc., and has great potential for developing high-nutrition, highly biologically functional foods. However, due to its complex heredity and rich variety of variation, there are shortcomings in the conventional breeding process, such as excessive cycle length, excessive coefficient of variation, and effects on the growth and development of offspring. Modern biological breeding techniques not only overcome the above shortcomings, but also increase the speed and quality of breeding.

As an important means to guarantee the safety of food, corn safety testing is playing an increasingly important role.
