Zea mays L. subsp. mays (Sweet Corn Group)
A technological grain quality indicator for sweet corn, characterizing its ability to retain texture, flavor, and aroma after industrial freezing.
In the reference 86 varieties crop Sweet corn, where this is mentioned in the description.
Freezing suitability is determined by the genetic characteristics of the hybrid, in particular the endosperm type (su1, sh2, se) and pericarp tenderness. Breeding efforts are focused on maintaining the sugar balance and minimizing pericarp thickness, which is determined via shear force measurement during sensory evaluation.
A key requirement is strict control of the technological maturity stage, typically the milk-dough stage. Exceeding this threshold leads to the conversion of sugars into starch, which impairs the organoleptic properties of the product. Additionally, ear uniformity is critical for automated processing using the IQF method.
