Question 6: What kind of food is corn? Corn is the main grain feed and the main 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 14.6 MJ/kg, and the highest one can reach 15.6 MJ/kg, which is the highest among cereal feeds. 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 9%; On the other hand, the crude fat content of corn is high, ranging from 3.5% to 4.5%. Corn is an annual gramineous plant, also known as corn, bonzi and Liugu. According to the research, every 1g of corn contains 196 kilocalories, 1.2g of crude fiber, 3.8g of protein, 2.3g of fat, 4.2g of carbohydrate, and other mineral elements and vitamins. Corn contains more crude fiber, which is 4-1 times higher than polished rice and polished flour. Corn also contains a lot of magnesium, which can strengthen the peristalsis of intestinal wall and promote the excretion of body waste. The above ingredients and functions of corn are very beneficial to lose weight. When the corn is ripe, the tassel of the ear has diuretic effect and is also beneficial to lose weight.
Corn can be boiled in soup instead of tea, or it can be crushed and made into corn flour, corn cakes and so on. The puffed popcorn has a large volume, which can eliminate the hunger of obese people after eating, but the calorie content after eating is very low, which 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 5%, only corn can meet the requirement of linoleic acid for pigs and chickens (1%).
3. The content of protein is low and its quality is poor. The protein content of maize is about 8.6%, and the amino acids are unbalanced, and the contents of lysine, tryptophan and methionine are insufficient.
4. About 8% minerals exist in the embryo, and the calcium content is very small, about .2%; Phosphorus contains about .25%, but about 63% of phosphorus exists in the form of phytic acid phosphorus, and the utilization rate of monogastric animals is very low. The content of other mineral elements is also low.
5. There is more vitamin E in fat-soluble vitamins, about 2mg/kg, more carotene in yellow corn, and less thiamine in water-soluble vitamins, less riboflavin and nicotinic acid, and nicotinic acid exists in combination.
6. The average lutein content in yellow corn is 22 mg/kg, which is one of the characteristics of yellow corn, and it is of great significance for coloring yolk, shin and claw.
