Abstract
ABSTRACT
Corn or maize is a tropical grain plant, first domesticated about eight thousand years ago. Recently, the demand for corn has increased dramatically, for use in the production of various foods and edible oils, as well as the manufacture of biocompounds and biopolymers. Moreover, corn is very rich in starch which is one of the foremost copious and biodegradable biopolymers and is commonly utilized within the nourishment, pharmaceutical, textile, biomass energy, and chemical industries. Since the starch is completely biodegradable in a variety of environments and can allow the development of totally degradable products according to specific market requirements. The main objective of this review is to present a study on maize plants as a primary source of biodegradable polymers and fibre-based bio compounds with their applications.
