In order to study the effect of irradiation of corn grains on the starch extraction and quality of by‐products, the grains were subjected to different doses of gamma‐rays. It was generally found that irradiation led to increase the water absorption during steeping. This increase in the water absorption increases the yield of starch and facilitates the removal of hulls and germ. However, at higher dose (1000 Krad) the yield of starch decreases. The results are discussed on the basis of effect of hydrogen bond protein denaturation, and formation of volatile compounds.
