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

2026-02-13

Abstract excerpt

Background Maize ( Zea mays L. ) is a significant cereal crop, which, due to its nutritious content, especially in terms of dietary energy and nutrients, is globally important. Its nutritive status does not just end with macronutrients, but it also encompasses nutrient status that promotes health-giving micronutrients and phytochemicals. Objective This review aims to consolidate recent advancements in maize nutri...
