An increase in oil content of the corn is accompanied by a decrease in starch content and by an increase in caproic acid content. The correlation coefficients involving protein content of corn hybrids with oil content (r = 0.066) and with saturated fatty acid (SFA) (r = -0.247*) evidence that protein content is more related to fatty acid distribution than the oil quantity. Linear relationships between refractive index (RI) (nD40 degrees C) and saturated fatty acid (r = 0.369**) and between refractive index and oleic acid (r = 0.364**), and between iodine number (IN) and unsaturated fatty acid (UFA) were determined. In addition, oleic acid is strongly correlated with linoleic (r = -0.769**) and linolenic acids (r = -0.335**).en10.1556/CRC.38.2010.2.9info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccesscorncorrelationoilproteinfatty acidsiodine numberrefractive indexFatty-Acid-CompositionOilSelectionArticle382233242Q4WOS:0002780387000092-s2.0-77952991971Q2
