Different
varieties of maize have different responses to lye treatment. Ten
replicates of each maize variety were boiled 30 minutes in lye, and
control
samples were boiled 30 minutes in water:
In
dent corn the yield of grits was significantly greater
for
the lye treatment than for water.

In flour
corn the yield of
grits was less for the lye treatment than for water, though the
difference was not significant.
