Cereal grain, also known as corn in some countries
Maize is a major source of starch, cookingoil.(cornoil). Cornstarch (maize flour) is a major ingredient in home cooking and in many industrialized food products. Maize is also a major source of cooking oil (corn oil) and of maize gluten. Maize starch can be hydrolyzed and enzymatically treated to produce syrups, particularly high fructose corn syrup, a sweetener; and also fermented and distilled to produce grain alcohol. Grain alcohol from maize is traditionally the source of bourbon whiskey. Maize is sometimes used as the starch source for beer. In the United States and Canada maize is mostly grown to feed for livestock, as forage, silage or grain. Maize meal is also a significant ingredient of some commercial animal food products.
