What's the function of eating corn?
Corn with nutritional value is the main grain feed and energy feed in China. Corn has good palatability and no use restrictions. Its nutritional characteristics are as follows: 1. The available energy is high. The metabolic energy of corn is 14.06MJ/kg/kg, and the highest can reach15.06 mj/kg, which is the highest among cereals. This is mainly because there is very little crude fiber in corn, only 2%; The nitrogen-free extract is as high as 72%, and the digestibility can reach 90%. On the other hand, the crude fat content of corn is relatively high, ranging from 3.5% to 4.5%. Corn is an annual gramineous plant, also known as corn, cob and Liugu. According to the research, every100g of corn contains 196 calories,10.2g of crude fiber, 3.8g of protein, 2.3g of fat, 40.2g of carbohydrate, and other mineral elements and vitamins. Corn contains more crude fiber, which is 4- 10 times higher than polished rice and refined flour. Corn also contains a lot of magnesium, which can strengthen the peristalsis of intestinal wall and promote the excretion of waste in the body. The above ingredients and functions of corn are very beneficial to lose weight. When the corn is ripe, the tassel on the ear has diuretic effect, which is also beneficial to lose weight. Corn can be boiled in soup instead of tea, or crushed to make corn flour and tortillas. Puffed popcorn has a large volume, which can eliminate the hunger of obese people, but its calorie content is very low after eating, and it is also one of the substitutes for weight loss. 2. The linoleic acid content is high. The linoleic acid content of corn reaches 2%, which is the highest in grain feed. If the proportion of corn in the diet is above 50%, only corn can meet the requirement of linoleic acid for pigs and chickens (1%). 3. The content of protein is low and the quality is poor. The content of protein in maize is about 8.6%, with unbalanced amino acids and insufficient contents of lysine, tryptophan and methionine. 4. Minerals About 80% of minerals exist in embryos, and the calcium content is very small, about 0.02%; The phosphorus content is about 0.25%, but about 63% of phosphorus exists in the form of phytic phosphorus, and the utilization rate of monogastric animals is very low. The content of other mineral elements is also low. 5. Vitamin fat-soluble vitamins contain more vitamin E, about 20mg/kg, yellow corn contains more carotene, and vitamins D and K are almost absent. Water-soluble vitamins contain more thiamine, less riboflavin and nicotinic acid, and nicotinic acid exists in a combined form. 6. The average lutein content in yellow corn is 22 mg/kg, which is one of the characteristics of yellow corn and is of great significance for coloring yolk, shin and claw. Recently, a study by the German Nutrition and Health Care Association shows that corn has the highest nutritional value and health care function among all staple foods. It can prevent heart disease and cancer. In this study, which lasted 1 year, experts compared the nutritional value and health care function of many staple foods such as corn, rice and wheat. The results show that the vitamin content in corn is very high, which is 5- 10 times that of rice and wheat. At the same time, corn contains a lot of nutrients and health-care substances, which also surprised experts. Besides carbohydrates, protein, fat and carotene, corn also contains nutrients such as riboflavin and vitamins. These substances are of great benefit in preventing diseases such as heart disease and cancer. The research also shows that the nutritional value of special corn is higher than that of ordinary corn. For example, the content of protein, vegetable oil and vitamins in sweet corn is 1-2 times higher than that in ordinary corn; The selenium content of "life element" is 8- 10 times higher; Among 17 amino acids, 13 amino acids are higher than common corn. In addition, the moisture, active substances, vitamins and other nutrients of fresh corn are much higher than those of old corn, because the cultivation branch of corn drops rapidly during storage. Professor Rahman, a famous German nutritionist in charge of this research, pointed out that among the more than 50 kinds of nutritional and health-care substances that have been proved to be the most effective today, corn contains 7 kinds-calcium, glutathione, vitamins, magnesium, selenium, vitamin E and fatty acids. It has been determined that every100g of corn can provide nearly 300 mg of calcium, which is almost the same as that contained in dairy products. Rich calcium can lower blood pressure. If you take 1 g calcium every day, your blood pressure will drop by 9% after 6 weeks. In addition, the carotene contained in corn can be converted into vitamin A after being absorbed by the human body, which has the function of preventing cancer; Plant cellulose can accelerate the discharge of carcinogens and other poisons; Natural vitamin E has the functions of promoting cell division, delaying aging, lowering serum cholesterol, preventing skin lesions, relieving arteriosclerosis and brain function decline. The researchers pointed out that lutein and zeaxanthin contained in corn can fight against eye aging. In addition, eating more corn can also inhibit the side effects of anticancer drugs on human body, stimulate brain cells and enhance people's brain power and memory. The feeding value of chicken corn is 1. Chicken corn is the most important feed material for chickens, which has high energy value and is most suitable for fattening broilers. Moreover, yellow corn has a good coloring effect on yolk, claws and skin. In the compound feed for chickens, the amount of corn is as high as 50%~70%. 2. The effect of pig corn is also very good, but excessive use should be avoided to prevent excessive heat energy from increasing back fat thickness. Because corn lacks lysine, lysine should be added to the diet of pigs of any weight. 3. Ruminant corn has good palatability and high energy, which can be widely used in mixed concentrate of cattle, but it is best to use it with other big bran feeds to prevent food accumulation and expansion. High lysine corn In order to solve the problem of poor quality of corn in protein, breeders all over the world are committed to cultivating high lysine corn varieties. In 1950s, the United States cultivated high lysine corn varieties such as Opak 2 and Floury-2, with lysine content above 0.5% and tryptophan content above 0.2%. China has also introduced trial planting, but it has not been widely popularized because of its low yield, low bulk density and high price. However, a large number of experiments at home and abroad have proved that high lysine corn can completely or partially replace soybean meal, which is an important way to solve the shortage of essential amino acids for human body. "Corn Love Fund" symbolizes corn love fund: In order to support and promote the implementation of the "Red Cross Angel Plan" of the China Red Cross Foundation, with the support of Chris Lee and the suggestions of many corn, in 2006, the China Red Foundation set up the first special fund named "Corn Love Fund" donated by fans. This is the love creation of corn and the public welfare innovation of China Red Foundation. Unlike other funds, which must have a "bottom fund" guarantee before their establishment, the "Corn Love Fund" started from zero yuan, creating a precedent for the establishment of foundations in China. With the concept of "love has hope, don't give up if there is hope", we advocate "birthday in spring, angels receive red envelopes" Since March 19, 2006, all corn donations in China have been unified into the "Corn Love Fund" for special purposes. The China Red Foundation will announce the donation and subsidy of the fund at any time through the media, and accept social audit every year, media supervision and inquiries and inspections of corn at any time. The name of the medical cookbook "China Yishoufang" is longevity food-a healthy cookbook of maize (corn) with sweet taste and flat sex. It has the effects of regulating middle energizer, stimulating appetite, benefiting lung, calming heart, clearing away damp-heat, benefiting liver and gallbladder, and delaying aging. Modern research has confirmed that corn is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic acid, with a content of more than 60%. Synergistic effect with vitamin E in corn germ can reduce blood cholesterol concentration and prevent it from depositing on blood vessel wall. Therefore, corn has certain preventive and therapeutic effects on coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis, hyperlipidemia and hypertension. Vitamin E can also promote cell division and delay aging. Corn also contains a longevity factor-glutathione. With the participation of selenium, glutathione oxidase is produced, which has the functions of restoring youth and delaying aging. Selenium and magnesium contained in corn have anti-cancer effects. Selenium can accelerate the decomposition of peroxides in vivo, so that malignant tumors can be suppressed without molecular oxygen supply. On the one hand, magnesium can inhibit the development of cancer cells, on the other hand, it can promote the excretion of waste in the body, which is also of great significance for cancer prevention. Glutamic acid contained in it has a certain brain-strengthening effect. A study by the German Nutrition and Health Care Association shows that corn has the highest nutritional value and health care function among all staple foods. It can prevent heart disease and cancer. In this one-year study, experts compared the nutritional value and health care function of many staple foods such as corn, rice and wheat. The results show that the vitamin content in corn is very high, which is 5- 10 times that of rice and wheat. At the same time, corn contains a lot of nutrients and health-care substances, which also surprised experts. Besides carbohydrates, protein, fat and carotene, corn also contains nutrients such as riboflavin and vitamins. These substances are of great benefit in preventing diseases such as heart disease and cancer. The research also shows that the nutritional value of special corn is higher than that of ordinary corn. For example, the content of protein, vegetable oil and vitamins in sweet corn is 1-2 times higher than that in ordinary corn; The selenium content of "life element" is 8- 10 times higher; Among 17 amino acids, 13 amino acids are higher than common corn. In addition, the moisture, active substances, vitamins and other nutrients of fresh corn are much higher than those of old corn, because the cultivation branch of corn drops rapidly during storage. Corn is a good health care product in coarse grains, which is quite beneficial to human health. Vitamin B6, nicotinic acid and other components in corn have the characteristics of stimulating gastrointestinal peristalsis and accelerating defecation, and can prevent and treat constipation, enteritis and intestinal cancer. Every 100g corn contains: protein 85g, fat 4.3g, sugar 72.2g, energy 1398.4kJ, calcium 22mg, phosphorus 120mg, iron 1.6mg and vitamin B 1B2. Corn oil is rich in vitamin E, vitamin A, lecithin and magnesium, and linoleic acid is as high as 50%. Corn is rich in vitamin C and so on. , has the effect of prolonging life and beautifying. The nutrients contained in the tip of corn embryo can enhance human metabolism and regulate the function of nervous system. Can make skin soft and smooth, inhibit and delay wrinkles. Corn has the functions of regulating appetite, reducing blood lipid and serum cholesterol. Central American Indians are not prone to high blood pressure because they mainly eat corn. When eating corn, you should eat all the embryo tips of corn kernels, because many nutrients of corn are concentrated here. Corn tastes better when cooked. Although cooking made corn lose some vitamin C, it gained more nutritional value and higher antioxidant activity. ★ Moldy corn will produce carcinogens, so moldy corn must not be eaten. Corn is an annual gramineous plant, also known as corn, cob and Liugu. According to the research, every100g of corn contains 196 calories,10.2g of crude fiber, 3.8g of protein, 2.3g of fat, 40.2g of carbohydrate, and other mineral elements and vitamins. Corn contains more crude fiber, which is 4- 10 times higher than polished rice and refined flour. Eating corn (staple food) often leads to malnutrition, which is harmful to health. If you eat it as a snack, because corn is coarse grain, it will naturally contribute to gastrointestinal peristalsis and health. As for losing weight, it certainly has little effect. The seeds of corn, a Gramineae herb, have therapeutic value. Also known as jade sorghum, royal rice, royal wheat, jade wheat, corn, corn. It is cultivated all over China. Harvest mature fruits in summer and autumn, thresh the seeds and dry them in the sun; You can also use less. [Attribute] Sweet in taste and flat in nature. Can regulate the stomach, diuretic. [Reference] contains protein, fat, starch, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin B 1, B2, B6, nicotinic acid, pantothenic acid, carotene, quercetin and other ingredients.

Contains more vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin). Corn kernels are mainly used for eating and feeding, and can be cooked, ground or made into puffed food. Industrially used to make alcohol, beer, acetaldehyde, acetic acid, acetone, butanol, etc. The syrup made of corn starch is colorless and transparent, with high fructose content, and can be made into candy, cake, bread, jam, beverage and so on. Furfural can be prepared from spike shaft; The stalk can be used for papermaking and sound insulation; Bracts of fruit ears can be woven into handicrafts. Seeds can be used as concentrated feed. The stems, leaves and ears harvested during the wax ripening period are good silage for livestock, especially cows. The nutritional value and digestibility are higher than those of barley, oats and sorghum. Because different colors of corn can transfer pollen to each other, when the wind is strong, two adjacent corn fields pollinate each other, thus producing an ear of corn with different colors. Sometimes, rainy or windy days after maize flowering will affect maize pollination, resulting in the phenomenon of lack of grain and fruit.
