Discussion
Assertion (A): Maize is degerminated before grinding.
Reason (R): The germ is large and rich in oil that would turn the meal rancid.
Select the correct answer from the options below.
Answer: B
Correct answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
Both are true and the reason gives the whole justification. The maize germ is large and contains most of the kernel’s oil, which oxidises rapidly once ground and makes the meal rancid within weeks. Removing it before grinding both extends the shelf life of the meal and yields the germ intact as a valuable oil-bearing by-product.
