Notes:
Three sweet corn (Zea mays L) genotypes, one cultivar each, were tested for sugar and soluble solids changes at 6°C for 5 days. Genotypes and cultivars were sugary (su), ‘Silver Queen’; sugary enhanced (se), ‘Incredible’ and super sweet (sh 2), ‘How Sweet It Is.’ Fructose, glucose, sucrose, maltose, total sugars and °Brix were measured. Sucrose predominated. Generally, °Brix, fructose, glucose and sucrose decreased and maltose increased, sh 2 had lowest °Brix and highest sucrose and total sugars, and su had highest °Brix and lowest sucrose and total sugars, su consisted of 3.8% total sugars (DWB); se, 7.2% and sh 2, 10.9%. Overall correlation coefficient between °Brix and total sugars was −0.99.
