Just Accepted “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. They are posted online prior to technical editing, formatting for publication and author proofing. The American Chemical Society provides “Just Accepted” as a service to the research community to expedite the dissemination of scientific material as soon as possible after acceptance. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full in PDF format accompanied by an HTML abstract. “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been fully peer reviewed, but should not be considered the official version of record. They are citable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). “Just Accepted” is an optional service offered to authors. Therefore, the “Just Accepted” Web site may not include all articles that will be published in the journal. After a manuscript is technically edited and formatted, it will be removed from the “Just Accepted” Web site and published as an ASAP article. Note that technical editing may introduce minor changes to the manuscript text and/or graphics which could affect content, and all legal disclaimers and ethical guidelines that apply to the journal pertain.

ABSTRACT

17

In this study, the influence of nitrogen (N) fertilization (170 vs 300 kg N/ha) on the content

18

of bioactive compounds of whole-meal flour of 10 different colored corn genotypes was

19

investigated. Considerable differences in antioxidant capacity and phytochemical

20

concentrations were observed among genotypes. Higher N fertilization rates significantly

21

(P78%). As shown

318

in Table 3, zeaxanthin was the most abundant xanthophyll detected in all corn genotypes,

319

representing 51-65% of total xanthophylls, while lutein accounted only for 20-33% and β-

320

cryptoxanthin for
