  • Which countries produce maize oil?
  • The US is the largest worldwide producer of maize oil; Brazil, China, Romania, countries of the former Soviet Union, former Yugoslavia, and South Africa also produce maize oil (Orthoefer et al. 2003 ). The maize kernel is a mixture of maternal tissues (e.g., pericarp) and zygotic tissues (e.g., embryo, aleurone, and endosperm) (Fig. 17.1 ).
  • What is maize oil?
  • Maize oil is a co-product of the wet and dry milling industries, which essentially breaks down the maize kernel into starch, oil, protein, and fiber (for review see Johnson and May 2003; Duensing et al. 2003 ).
  • Where did hybrid maize come from?
  • Hybrid maize traces its roots back to experiments on heterosis and inbreeding conducted by Shull ( 1908, 1909) at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories in New York and East ( 1909) at Connecticut State College.
  • Is maize an oilseed?
  • This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves. Maize is not traditionally viewed as an oilseed crop; actually maize oil is considered a ¡®minor¡¯ oil among the traditional vegetable oils, representing only about 3.4% of the 1998¨C1999 US market (Orthoefer et al. 2003 ).
