ABSTRACT
Grain samples of maize landraces wore collected and subjected to Fourier Transform Infrared
spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis combined with chemometric tools in other to discriminate them
regarding the chemical composition. Principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical clustering
(HCA) were applied on selected peaks of the spectral data. The most important chemical groups
found in all maize landrace samples were monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, tetralerpenes,
aminoacids, polysaccharides, lipids and proteins. Trace signals of secondary metabolites were also
found in cultivars according to year of harvest.
