Abstract
Corn is one of the cereals of major agricultural importance of consumption, animal and human, being highly energetic, presenting excellent composition and numerous applicabilities. The objective of this work was to determine the centesimal composition of criollo corn cultivated in different regions of the State of Paraíba. The analytical determinations were conducted in the Laboratory of Physical-Chemical Analysis of Food belonging to the Federal University of Paraíba, Campus - III, Bananeiras, Paraiba. The seeds of the Jaboatão Creole maize came from the family farmers of six municipalities located between the swamp and the semi-arid Paraiba. After the seeds were harvested, the selection and subsequent milling of the Willey-type knife of the samples were performed in the laboratory for the analysis. The analyzes of protein, lipid, ashes, moisture and carbohydrates were conducted at the Physical Chemistry Laboratory of Foods to analyze the centesimal composition of the Jaboatão Creole maize. A completely randomized design was used, with eight treatments (six collection municipalities) and three replications. The results obtained for the protein and ash analyzes in Jaboatão Creole maize had higher levels in samples obtained from the city of Alagoa Nova, where they presented with lower percentage of moisture in the evaluated material. For lipids the maize obtained from the municipality of Massaranduba 1 was higher, and the samples from the municipality of Remígio 2 had a better percentage of carbohydrate when compared to the other municipalities analyzed. The Jaboatão maize variety cultivated by family farmers has nutritional potential to be used as a food source.
