Abstract: Vitamin C (Vc) is also called ascorbic acid. Vc content is a very important nutritional index for fresh waxy corn and its processed products. In this paper, the changes of Vc content in fresh kernel of post-harvest fresh ears of four waxy corn varieties under four storage conditions were studied. The results show that the storage temperature had a significant impact on the Vc content, while the bract had less effect.

Key words: fresh waxy corn, fresh kernel, Vc content
