2.3.1. Determination of Moisture Content

Sampled maize grains were combined and mixed thoroughly, and about 500 g was milled using a standard laboratory mill (SUS304, China) to obtain uniform particle sizes. About 50 g of the milled sample was analyzed for moisture content using a Dicky-John Instalab® 700 proximate analyzer (IL7101FG, USA). The procedure was triplicated and their mean values recorded for each sample.
