Zusammenfassung:The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of twenty maize cultivars in the industrial processing of grated corn for pamonha. Data were obtained for ear weight with husks, ear weight with no husks, grated maize weight, grated maize residue weight, husk weight, and kernel depth under three storage conditions (processed on the day of harvest or after seven days of storage, with and without refrigeration). The results showed that the AG 1051 hybrid can be recommended for the industrial production of pamonha. This hybrid showed high yield and ear weight, with and without husks, the greatest grated corn production and reduced grated corn residue weight. KEY-WORDS: Zea mays; immature corn; green corn; corn storage.
