To the best of our knowledge, phenolic
acid profiles in processed waxy corn have not been systematically
investigated. Three benzoic type phenolic acids (protocatechuic
acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid and vanillic acid) and three cinnamic
type phenolic acids (caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid and ferulic acid)
were detected in both raw and cooked waxy corn. Gallic acid,
syringic acid and chlorogenic acid were not detected in either kernels
or cob (data not shown)
