Properties Of Corn Masa Processing Byproducts, Kurt A. Rosentrater
Kurt A. Rosentrater
The production of corn masa-based products in the U.S. has been increasing over the last several years, and as a result, so has the quantity of waste materials generated from this industry. These byproduct materials may have potential for value-added processing and utilization, which are options that hold the promise of economic benefits for masa processors and decreased potential pollution for the environment. Fundamental to any byproduct development, however, is a full characterization of the processing residue, because physical and nutritional properties are necessary for the proper design of processing operations and applications. Vital physical properties include moisture content, water …

Many international agencies offer volunteer services to improve agricultural knowledge and infrastructure in developing countries. Although effective, these efforts are severely constrained by limited funding and personnel, and can only address a fraction of current global educational needs. Computer-based training programs, either in the form of CD-ROM-based or Internet-based incarnations, hold the promise of removing many of the obstacles that currently confront international volunteer efforts. The art of web programming has drastically accelerated in recent years, both in terms of capacity as well as complexity. One reason for this is that advanced software has been developed to simplify and speed …
