Cover Story: Blue corn grain is a cereal with high phenolic compound content. Many of these compounds are bound to the cell matrix, however, limiting their bioavailability. Solid-state fermentation (SSF) using Rhizopus oryzae has aided in the effective release of these compounds in other cereals; however, its application in blue maize has not been studied to the same extent. In this study, we develop a SSF process to improve its phenolic content and antioxidant capacity. We outline the fermentation conditions and metabolite analysis process and characterize the phenolic compounds using HPLC-MS. In addition, we evaluate the changes in antioxidant activity throughout the fermentation process. We propose SSF as a sustainable biotechnological strategy to improve the nutraceutical value of blue maize, highlighting its potential in the food and health industries. View this paper
