Chapter 1: Scenario of Maize
Maize also acts as a source in the manufacture of starch, syrup, dextrose, oil, gelatine, lactic
acid tec. Corn flour is used as a thickening agent in the preparation of many edibles like
soups, sauces and custard powder. Corn syrup is used as an agent in confectionary units.
Maize flakes 4
Corn sugar (dextrose) is used in pharmaceutical formulations as a sweetening agent in soft
drinks, etc. Corn gel on account of its moisture retention character is used as a bonding agent
for ice-cream cones, as a dry Dustin agent for baking products.

1.3 Indian Scenario of Maize
Maize is dispatched from major producing states to the consuming states. The major
producing states from where the dispatches made are Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka,
Madhya Pradesh, Orissa and Uttar Pradesh. The consuming states where the maize arrives
from other states are Maharashtra, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Delhi, Bihar,
Chhattisgarh, Haryana and Assam. Maize is brought from major producing states to the
consuming states for industrial use, processing and local consumption. Interstate movement
also takes place due to variation in production and prices.
Maize cultivation requires warm weather, fertile and well drained soils. It is adapted to grow
under diverse climatic conditions. Temperature requirement for germination is 21°C and for
growth 32°C. Extremely high temperature and low humidity during flowering damage foliage
thereby resulting in poor grain formation. This crop requires well distributed rainfall.
Therefore, in India most maize cultivation is taken up in rain fed conditions i.e., around 80-
82% of annual production comes from Kharif whereas left over production come from Rabi
and the summer season. It is highly susceptible to waterlogging and moisture stress
conditions particularly during its early stages of growth.
In Kharif, it is sown in March-July till mid-August and harvested from mid-September. The
arrivals extend from late September to February. The major states producing maize during
the kharif season are Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar
Pradesh, etc. In Rabi, it is sown in September-December in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and
coastal region of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, etc. The arrivals start from late March and
extend up to July.
The highest sowing of Maize is observed in the Kharif season i.e. in the month of June-July.
It is apparent that the period from October to December account for maximum arrivals in the
selected markets.

The leading maize producing states in India are Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka,
Bihar and Telangana. Notably, Maharashtra, in the year 2016-17, was the largest producer
of maize among other states.
The table presented above shows the trend of major maize producing states in India.
Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh contribute more than 50% to the total maize produced in
the country.

Chapter 2: Scenario of Rajasthan
Rajasthan stands uniquely in the 8th position in the top 10 list of maize producing states in
India. The agricultural land in the state of Rajasthan is majorly under deep cultivation maize
yielding crop to a large extent which is distributed in the major regions of this state. The
farmers of Rajasthan are widely involved in the cultivation of variety of maize crop with huge
surplus and high profit among the farmers.
The major producing districts in the state of Rajasthan are Chittorgarh, Banswara, Jhalawar,
Pratapgharh and Bundi. Chittorgarh is the top maize producing district in the state having
(1,62,049 MT) production.
Table 2:Production of maize in Rajasthan

In year 2016-17, the maize production of profile attributes for 13,79,291 MT of maize in the
state of Rajasthan. The production of maize has increased from 13,79,291 MT in the year
2016-17 to 11,56,675 MT in year 2015-16.

Chapter 3: Process Flow
Basically, corn flakes are prepared from maize. The process has been classified into 3 parts.
Yellow and white corn (Hybrid) may be used for the manufacture of corn flakes. Initially corn
grains are cleaned and polished to remove dirt, dust etc. Silos are used for storing corn
grains. Removal of dust, dirt and gern are carried by air classifiers. Separator is used to
separate large grains from small grains. Usually No. 6 mesh screen is used which provides
larger grains.
After polishing grains, they are milled to remove germ and bran. The broken pieces are
cooked in rotary steam cooker under pressure, generally handles 500 - 600 kgs. at that time.
It is subjected to steam and for 2 hours. Flavour syrup of sugar, malt, salt and water are
added during the process. The grits. the cooked material possess moisture which raises to
about 36 - 37%. The grits are again washed and cleand by air classifiers. The large and small
grits are separated by separator. These are stored in bins. The grits carried to an agitator or
lump breaker and then is discharged into a pan woler or may be sent to steamer where pre-
heated air is blown to reduce the moisture content to the desired degree about 20%. The
dried material is kept in demoisturing tank for few hours in order to provide the residual
moisture to become equally distributed. This is a very important process for uniform pressing
in the flakes. The flakes may be thin or thick, depending on the moisture i.e. more the
moisture, more the thinner and less the moisture, more the thicker.
Finally comes the corn flake process. The grits or cooked material are passed to heavy flaking
machine, where the grits are converted into flakes by pressing the grits. It is cooked by water
roller. The flakes are immediately transferred to the rotery of any other oven for roasting.
These ovens are usually gas fired and of slightly conical, rotating cylinder when the proper
roasting is over, it is continuously carried to the the conveyor. The roasted flakes are
inspected, screened or granded to remove substandard flakes. hese are immediately
transferred to packing machine. The packing material must be water resistances, generally
polythene containers of waxed paper.
