Variety traits
Zea mays L.
An indicator of the ratio between dense vitreous and loose floury endosperm in corn grain, characterizing the strength of the bond between starch and protein.
In the reference 4 varieties crop Maize, where this is mentioned in the description.
Vitreousness determines the physical structure of corn endosperm, influencing its mechanical strength and transparency at the fracture. This trait depends on the genetic characteristics of the hybrid, as well as on weather and climatic conditions during the grain filling and maturation period.
This parameter is a technological requirement of the processing industry rather than a standardized quality indicator. Floury grain is preferable for starch and syrup production, while vitreous grain is necessary for making popcorn and other products that require high endosperm density.
General information about the subject — on the page Vitreousness.
Selection based on the description text, not on official evaluation: these data are absent from registers. For specific variety details, please refer to its profile.
