摘要:

Whole grain has a wide range of phytochemicals exhibiting health benefits of lowering risk of chronic diseases.

As commonly consumed grain product, corn has unique profiles of nutrients and phytochemicals

when compared with other whole grains. Corn nutrients and phytochemicals include vitamins (A, B, E,

and K), minerals (Mg, P, and K), phenolic acids (ferulic acid, coumaric acid, and syringic acid), carotenoids

and flavonoids (anthocyanins), and dietary fiber. More and more scientific evidences have shown that

regular consumption of whole grain corn lowers the risk of developing chronic diseases such as cardiovascular

disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity and improves digestive health. Further studies on bioactive

compounds of corn related to health are needed.
