Note
The researches being conducted on corn include determination of composition and structure of different varieties produced under various environmental conditions; investigations dealing with the production, modification, and utilization of the starch, oil, and protein constituents of the kernel; and investigation of the derivation and utilization of alcohol, sugar, zein, and other products from, the constituent parts of the corn kernel. The equipment of the Northern Regional Research Laboratory includes, besides the necessary apparatus and facilities for making chemical and physical tests, a pilot plant for testing on a semi-commercial scale of production, the new processes or products developed in the laboratory.
