SUIYAS INDUSTRIES

Maize and cornmeal (ground dried maize) constitute a staple food in many regions of the world.

Maize is a major source of starch. 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. Maize is sometimes used as the starch source for beer.
