Sweetcorn, kernels, purchased frozen, boiled, drained

Sweetcorn kernels purchased frozen, then boiled in unsalted water, and drained.

The majority of nutrients including proximates, vitamins and minerals were derived from a composite sample of 6 purchases of frozen corn kernels (2x Birds Eye and 1 each x Farmland, McCain, Logan Farm and Woolworths) purchased from supermarkets in Adelaide in 1988 and cooked as per cooking instructions on the label (2 cups of water for 200 g corn, boil, simmered for 4 min, then drain) (AGAL, 1990). Weight loss after cooking was 7%. Fatty acids were imputed from maize oil. Trace metals (As, Cd, Hg and Pb) were derived from 9 composite samples of frozen corn purchased during 3 seasons nationally in 1996 (AMBS, 1996). Folate was estimated based on raw sweetcorn. Cholesterol and retinol values were imputed zero based on scientific literature.
