powder,
superoxide dismutase / (U / g) is greater than or equal to 8500,
glutathione peroxidase / (U / g) is greater than or equal to 5000, and
catalase / (U / g) is greater than or equal to 750. The corn germ concentrated powder can also be prepared by the following method: cleaning corn, germinating, adding water into the germinated corn,
grinding and pulping, adding a
settling agent into the
corn steep liquor, standing, taking supernate, adding part of
sodium ascorbate, performing temperature-controlled concentration, adding the rest
sodium ascorbate and a stabilizer into the concentrated solution, and uniformly mixing to obtain the corn germ concentrated powder. And
drying at controlled temperature, crushing, and mixing with a proper amount of
