Sweetcorn, kernels, canned in brine, heated, drained

Sweetcorn kernels purchased canned with added sugar, salt, mineral salt and water. Heated & then drained.

The majority of nutrients including proximates, carbohydrates, organic acids, vitamins and minerals were derived from composite of 6 samples (1 each x Golden Circle, SPC, Home brand, Edgell, Chef's Own and Woolworths) of canned corn kernels purchased from Adelaide supermarkets in 1988. All the samples were cooked individually in own juice until tender then cooled (AGAL, 1990). Fatty acids were imputed from maize oil. Folate was estimated from fresh raw sweetcorn. Cholesterol and retinol were imputed zero based on scientific literature. Weight loss due to heating was 11%.
