Abstract

Background: Corn is one of the major popular cereals in the world and forms the staple food source in many countries. After rice and wheat, maize is the third-most significant food crop in India.Corn is also used as food and raw material for industrial use. Corn, various types of a highly cultivated multipurpose cereal are grown all over the world. Methods: The present study was designed for to analyse physical properties of corn different five verities. Five corn varieties to determine the physical properties of corn grains by using different methods. Physical characteristics of grains play a crucial vital function in determining the quality of grains. Results: The physical property of corn was carried out such as 1000 kernel weight (g), 1000 kernel volume (mm3),True density(kg/m3), Bulk density (kg/m3), Porosity (%), Sphericity (%), Angle of repose° (%) respectively. The results demonstrate range of 283.491 to 301.028 (g), 292 to 308 (mm3), 1197.043 to 1380.259 (kg/m3), 726.949 to 766.062 (kg/m3), 36.001 to 47.320 (%), 0.551 to 0.616 (%), 23.38 to 29.75 (°C), respectively.
