Abstract

Sweet corn (Poaceae family) differs from "common" green corn due to mutant genes affecting carbohydrate biosynthesis, resulting in grains with high sugar content and low starch. This study aimed to investigate the hydration kinetics of both sweet and common green corn through mathematical modeling and Artificial Neural Network for the purpose of food preservation production. Mathematical fitting (PELEG, PAGE, Weibull, Ibarz et al., and Henderson and Pabis) was carried out using the MATLAB software, and the development of the Artificial Neural Network used the SPSS software. Samples C1, C2, and C3 refer to green corn, and C4 refers to sweet corn. Regarding mathematical modeling, C1 showed the best fit for the Ibarz et al. model at 25°C. For C2, the best mathematical model was Ibarz et al. at 25°C and PELEG at 45°C. The results obtained for C3 and C4 were similar to C1, with the Ibarz et al. model being the best fit. Therefore, "common" green corn managed to maintain quality standards related to water absorption, similar to sweet corn, allowing for the use of these grains in food preservation processing.
