“…For the determination of tocopherol and carotenoid content, approximately 0.2 g of popcorn kernels and flakes was used. The extraction of carotenoids (lutein + zeaxanthin (L + Z) and β -carotene) was achieved by adding a mixture of methanol and ethyl acetate (6:4, v / v ), 2 × 5 mL, while for tocopherol extraction ( α -T, β + γ -T and δ -T) 5 mL of 2-propanol was added [ 37 ]. After homogenization in an ultrasound bath (30 min at 25 °C) for all analyses, the extracts were centrifuged (3000 rpm for 5 min), filtered through the syringe filter, and directly injected into the HPLC system (Dionex UltiMate 3000 Thermo Scientific, Bremen, Germany).…”

Popcorn is a specialty maize variety with popping abilities. Although considered a snack, popcorn flakes provide a variety of benefits for the human diet. To evaluate the change in content of bioactive compounds in response to microwave popping, the kernels and flakes of twelve popcorn hybrids were assayed. Accordingly, the content of phytic acid, glutathione, phenolic compounds, carotenoids, and tocopherols, as well as the antioxidant activity, were evaluated. In all evaluated popcorn hybrids, the most pronounced significant average decrease of 71.94% was observed for GSH content, followed by 57.72% and 16.12% decreases for lutein + zeaxanthin and phytic acid content, respectively. In response to popping, in the majority of the evaluated hybrids, the most pronounced significant average changes of a 63.42% increase and a 27.61% decrease were observed for DPPH, followed by a 51.52% increase and a 24.48% decrease for β-carotene, as well as, a 48.62% increase and a 16.71% decrease for α-Tocopherol content, respectively. The applied principal component and hierarchical cluster analyses revealed the distinct separation of popcorn hybrids’ kernels and flakes, indicating the existence of a unique linkage of changes in bioactive compound content in response to popping.

This study investigated genotype × environment interactions for the stability of expression of four productivity traits (cobs yield, cobs I class trade share, lend of cobs and fulfilment of cobs) of sweet maize hybrids (Zea mays L.). The additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) model was employed to assess genotype × environment interaction. AMMI stability value was used to evaluate both stability and genotype. The genotype selection index was calculated for each hybrid, incorporating both the average trait value and the stability index. Ten sweet maize hybrids were evaluated: Golda, GSS 1453, GSS 3071, GSS 5829, GSS 8529, Overland, Noa, Shinerock, Sindon, and Tessa. Trials were ran conducted over four vegetative seasons at a single location in the Wielkopolska region using replicated field experiments. The AMMI model revealed significant genotypic and environmental effects for all analyzed traits. Based on their superior stability and favorable average trait values, both the Golda cultivar and the GSS 3071 hybrid are recommended for further breeding program inclusion.
