Published on:

Changes in the riboflavin, niacin, thiamin and Relative Nutritive Value (RNV) in germinated com were studied. The corn were germinated for four days at 30°C and then dried at 50°C and ground. The vitamins were analysed by microbiological methods. The RNV was analysed by using Tetrahymena pyriformis W ATCC 10542. Acceptability was evaluated on com chips made from germinated corn. The three vitamins and the Relative Nutritive Value of the corn chips were also analysed.
