Abstract
Scanning electron microscopy of samples showed that corn flour granules by fermented and wet-milling were angular, pentagonal or elliptical similar to native starches while samples with extruding and cooking were irregularly fibrous and large granules. Protein of samples with wet-milling exhibited an obvious DSC endotherm, To 85.81°C, Tp 92.95°C, Tc 101.73°C and ΔH 1.614J/g.While the fermented and extruded samples had no endotherm. Ultra-violet absorption spectrometry showed that absorbance of fermented and extruded samples increased and the λmax were slightly red shift. The λmax were 294nm, 297nm and 310nm for wet-milling , fermented and extruded flour, respectively. SDS-PAGE patterns of wet-milling flour contained four bands, fermented samples only three bands while extruded samples had same bands with dry-milling.
