Sažetak
Since carotenoids of maize grain are located in the endosperm, the endosperm matrix structure will possibly affect the digestibility of carotenoids. Thus, carotenoid digestibility could also be related to hardness, and this study aimed to relate digestibility of individual (lutein, zeaxanthin α- and β-cryptoxanthin, and β-carotene) and total carotenoids (TC) to hardness in commercial maize hybrids.
