Since then, many hard endosperm corn lines have been bred and released by the Taiwan Agriculture Research Institute and Agriculture Research and Extension Stations. It is recognized that the domestic hard endosperm corn has superiority of the non-genetically modified (non-GM) corn and local consumption, which has the beneficial to its diversified and value-added applications on the view of healthy concern. In addition, to distinguish the domestic corn from imported corn, it is urgent to characterize the properties of specific domestic corn varieties for the processing and the productions of nutritious and healthy corn products. This report reviews the characteristics of high amylose maize (HAM) and quality protein maize (QPM) bred in the Taiwan Agriculture Research Institute (Wufeng Dist., Taichung City) in recent years. The physical and chemical properties of whole corn flour and isolated starch from these corns, the establishments of grinding and stabilization techniques of whole corn flour, and the processed products made of whole corn flour are introduced. Domestic HAM has high resistant starch (RS) content even after heatmoisture stabilization. The similar results were also observed in heat-moisture stabilized QPM whole grain flour, which provide good sources of slowly digestible starch (SDS) and RS and good processing properties. Whole corn flour can be successfully stabilized efficiently by using twin-screw extruder, producing the stabilized whole corn flour with various degrees of viscosity at cold or at hot stages that can be used for premixes preparation. The whole corn chips and puffed corn snacks, produced by using twin-screw extruder, have a natural pop-corn flavor and can be claimed as whole-grain, gluten-free, no sugar and additives added whole corn products. Recently, a gluten-free pasta-like whole corn noodle has been successfully developed as well. These products use the whole corn flour as the solely or major ingredient can provide more functional components such as SDS, RS, and dietary fiber than those made of normal corn so the characteristics of lowering the glycemic index and maintaining healthy intestinal flora can be expected.玉米全穀粉高直鏈澱粉玉米優質蛋白玉米擠壓技術extrusionhigh amylose maize (HAM)quality protein maize (QPM)whole corn flour國產硬質玉米之特性與應用Characteristics and Applications of Domestic Horneous (Hard) Endosperm Cornjournal article
