Nutritional and Phytochemical Composition of Mahewu (a Southern African Fermented Food Product) Derived from White and Yellow Maize (Zea mays) with Different Inocula

Grace Abosede Daji et al.

Summary: Mahweu is an important indigenous beverage in southern Africa, especially for low-income and undernourished consumers. This study investigated the nutritional and phytochemical composition of mahewu samples made from white and yellow maize using different fermentation methods. The results showed that fermentation improved the protein and carbohydrate content of the mahewu samples. The samples also contained various minerals, amino acids, and phenolic compounds. The choice of fermentation method may affect the nutritional and health benefits of mahewu.

Effect of light qualities on volatiles metabolism in maize (Zea mays L.) sprouts

Nan Xiang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of light qualities on volatiles accumulation in maize sprouts. The results showed that fatty acid derivatives, aldehydes, and apocarotenoids were highly accumulated in light qualities, while unsaturated fatty acids and sesquiterpenoids were decreased. The enhancements on fatty acid and phenylpropanoids/benzenoids derivatives were stronger in blue light quality compared to red light quality.
