Sažetak
The objective of the study was to evaluate the potential relationship between grain properties and in vitro digestibility of individual (lutein, zeaxanthin, α- and β-cryptoxanthin, and β- carotene) and total carotenoids in commercial maize hybrids. Digestibility of total and individual carotenoids correlated negatively (P<0.05) with the content of amylose, zeins, and the ratio of amylose to amylopectin in maize grains. Positive correlations (P<0.05) were found with CP, amylopectin and NDF contents.
