Process
Nixtamalization /nɪʃtəməlaɪˈzeɪʃən/ is a process for the preparation of maíze (corn), or other grain, in which the corn is soaked and cooked in an alkaline solution, usually limewater, washed, and then hulled. This process is known to remove up to 97–100% of aflatoxins from mycotoxin-contaminated corn.
