Nutritional composition of Zea mays L: A comprehensive Review of Macronutrients, Micronutrients, and Bioactive Compounds

2025-09-10

Abstract excerpt

Maize ( Zea mays L .) is a significant cereal plant, which due to its nutritious content especially dietary energy and nutrients, is globally significant or rather important. Its nutritive status does not just end with macronutrients but it stretches to cover nutrient status that promotes health-giving micronutrients and phytochemicals. This review aims to consolidate recent advancements in maize nutrient profili...
