Abstract:

The corn silks were ground by ultrafine comminution and the effect of particle size on physical properties of corn silk powder such as expansibility, water-holding capacity, water retention capacity and lipid adsorption capacity were studied. The results indicated the corn silk powder with a particle size of 0.147 mm (100 mesh) demonstrated the highest expansibility, water retention capacity and lipid adsorption capacity.

Key words: maize silk, particle size, physical properties
