The understanding on growth stage of purple waxy corn and location effect is very importantfor anthocyanin production systems. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluatephenolic compounds, anthocyanins and antioxidant activity in corn components at immaturity(22 days after pollination (DAP)) and maturity (36 DAS) stages at different growing locations.Two varieties of purple waxy corn were evaluated at two locations during the dry season2014/2015. Total phenolic (TPC), total anthocyanin (TAC) and antioxidant activity by DPPHfree-radical-scavenging assay and TEAC trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity assay wererecorded. Significant differences among corn components (C) were observed for all parameters.Location (L) x Variety (V), LxC, VxC and LxVxC interactions were significant for TAC in bothstages. Silk and tassel had the highest TPC at immaturity stage but husk of KND and FC111 atKK had the highest at maturity stage. Silk of KND had the highest TAC at KK at immaturitystage but cob and husk of KND had the highest at maturity stage at KK. In general, corn coband silk had high DPPH at immaturity stage and seed, cob and husk of KND at KK had highDPPH at maturity stage. However, cob and silk had the highest TEAC at immaturity stage andcob and husk especially KND had high TEAC at maturity stage. This information is useful foruse waxy corn as food, food supplement and functional food products for corn consumers andfood industry.
