5. Scope and objective:
Maize (Zea mays L.; 2n=20), considered as queen of cereals, is the world's third most important crop
after wheat and rice. It occupies an important place in world agriculture, being cultivated in more
than 150 countries, including USA, China, Brazil, Mexico, France and India. In India, maize
is mainly grown for grain purpose and is consumed either as food or as feed. It is the staple food in
hilly and sub-mountain tracts of northern India, although consumed all over country. It is
extensively grown in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar, Rajasthan and Madhya
Pradesh. Over 85% of maize produced in the country is consumed as human food. Several food
dishes including Rotis are prepared out of maize flour and grains. Green cobs are roasted and
eaten by people with great interest. Maize grain are highlynutritive.The major sweet corn growing
states are Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra. In India, the most widely cultivated type of
maize belongs to flint or semi-flint type and considering the high productivity and untapped
potentiality of maize crop, the need for diversification of its utility is felt. Of the different forms of
human consumption, use of maize ears at immature stage following roasting or boiling is a popular
practice. There is a huge market potential especially if the processing and packing needs from large
scale production. Fresh sweet corn is increasingly in high demand in the hotels for the
preparations of delicious sweet corn soup.

Objectives-The main objectives of the - Processing & Value addition of Baby corn, Sweet corn
and maize are
 To provide interactive learning experience in value addition of agronomical produce at
commercial level.
 To develop professional skills amongst the students in dealing with customers/marketing
 To develop professional skills in finance and market management
 To help in developing managerial skills amongst the students

Developing a Business Plan

(Baby corn)
 Growing of sweet corn variety “sugar-75” year round .
 Growing of standard variety for pop corn purpose like Jawahar pop corn-11/available variety
of pvt. Company.
 Sowing will be done during the last week of May to the first fortnight of July.
 Harvest the babycorn in 60days after sowing .
 Baby corn can be processed to improve its shelf-life. Main processing methods which can be
used to improve the shelf -life are canning, dehydration and freezing and prepare baby corn
soup.
 In canning
 Peeled baby corn → Cleaning → Boiling → Soaking → Grading → Containing → 
Brine solution → Exhaust → Lid Covering → Cooling → Quality inspection.
In dehydration
Dehydration can be used to increase shelf-life of baby corn for longer period. Baby corn can
be cut into 0.5 cm round pieces and dried in oven (air oven, vacuum oven or can be solar
dried. Dried baby corn can be packed in polythene pack/ vacuum pack/tetra pack and can be
stored well for longer period. Baby corn can be rehydrated by soaking in water and can be
used in preparation of food products. Products developed using dried baby corn have been
found to be acceptable organoleptically like those prepared from fresh baby corn.

If baby corn has to be freeze stored,  place husked ears in boiling water or steam for 30-45
seconds, cool then freeze or keep in freeze bags or zip lock bags and place them in the fridge
diction of the refrigerator. However, it is best used fresh.
(Sweet corn and Maize)
 After harvesting of sweet corn follow the cleaning, boiling , soaking and provide
unipackaging and get ready for market.
 Prepare the frozen, cannedand dehydrated sweet corn and maize product.
 Prepare the maize flour.
 Prepare the pop-corn and sellout directly in the market.
