　　近日市民朱女士碰到了一件烦心事，她从农贸市场买来的黑玉米让她非常纠结，因为放水煮熟之后，原来的清水竟然变成了一锅“墨汁”，让她怀疑这玉米是不是被染色了？

Ms zhu citizens recently met a troubles,She bought from farmer's market of black corn let her very ravel,Because of putting boiled after cooked,The original water unexpectedly into a pot"ink",Let she doubts the corn is the dye?

“黑玉米”售价不便宜 "Black corn"Price is not cheap

　　根据朱女士提供的信息，扬子晚报记者来到了浦口浦东路菜场，果然看到了朱女士口中所说的黑玉米。这种玉米就被摊贩放在众多的黄玉米当中叫卖。

According to the information provided ms zhu,Yangzi evening news reporters came to the pu mouth pudong road market,Indeed see ms zhu mouth said black corn.The corn was vendors in many yellow corn peddle of.

　　扬子晚报记者拿起一根黑玉米，只见玉米通身黑色，颗粒饱满，而且仔细看可以看到颗粒中间还有紫黑色的纹路，连接着每一颗玉米粒。

Yangzi evening news reporter picked up a piece of black corn,See the black corn,Grain full,And watch carefully can see particles there are perse grain,Connected to each a corn.

　　摊位老板告诉扬子晚报记者，他卖的这种玉米属于新品种，虽然很是吸引眼球，但是大多数人都只是看一眼。

Booth the boss told yangzi evening news reporter,He sold the corn belongs to the new varieties,Although is very attract eyeball,But most people are just at a glance.

　　一位市民笑着对扬子晚报记者说，她是不敢买，就是怕这黑乎乎的玉米是染色的。

A citizen smiled at the Yangtze evening news reporters,Is she dared not to buy,Is afraid of the dark corn is dyeing.

　　这位老板显得有些委屈，他说，这种玉米进货的价格一点也不便宜，要比市场上普通的玉米高出好几倍，平均的价格要卖到每斤5元左右，而其它普通的黄玉米只要每斤2.5元。

The boss appear some injustice,He said,This kind of corn stock price is not cheap,On the market than ordinary corn several times higher,The average price to sell to each jin 5 yuan,And other common yellow corn as long as per catty 2.5 yuan.

记者实验果然煮出“墨水” Reporter experiment indeed as expected cook"ink"

　　为了证实朱女士买到染色玉米的遭遇，扬子晚报记者也买回了几根黑玉米。

In order to confirm ms zhu buy dyeing corn experience,Yangzi evening news reporter also bought a few root black corn.

　　记者首先找了一口大锅，把洗干净的玉米放进锅里，倒入清水，开始加温。过了二十分钟，锅中的清水已经开始变色，玉米也由原来的紫黑色变成了紫红色，再过二十分钟，玉米快要煮好的时候，整锅清水果然已经完全变成了“墨汁”。

Reporters first find a cauldron,Wash clean corn into the pot,Into water,Began to heat.After twenty minutes,A pot of water has begun to change color,Corn also from originally of purple black became purple,In another 20 minutes,Corn is going to cook good time,The whole pot water indeed has completely into"ink".

　　记者把浸泡在“墨汁”中的玉米捞出，放在一个干净的碗里，玉米因为高温加热有的已经裂开了，可以清晰地看到，裂开的玉米的心都是紫红色的。

Reporter to soak in"ink"Take it out of the corn,In a clean bowl,Corn for high temperature heating some has been cracked,It can be seen clearly,Dehiscence of the corn heart is purple.

　　随后记者把“墨汁”倒进白碗里，这可让记者有了新的发现。原来这黑糯玉米煮出的不像“墨汁”，倒很像“葡萄酒”，因为整个液体的颜色呈现的是深紫红色，就像被封存了多年的“葡萄美酒”。而且，被这个“葡萄酒”沾染过的地方，颜色很难洗掉。看到这样的情况，记者不免犹疑起来，这些玉米到底能不能吃？这些“掉”的颜色又是什么呢？

Then the reporters"ink"Poured into white bowl,This lets reporter had the new findings.So this black waxy corn boiled out don't like"ink",'d like"wine",Because the whole liquid color appears is claret,Like be mothballed for years"Grape wine".and,Was the"wine"The place where contamination,Color is hard to wash off.See such situation,Journalists are not up,These corn exactly can't eat?these"off"What is the color of?

“墨水”其实就是“花青素” "ink"In fact is"anthocyanin"

　　为了求证这种新品种黑糯玉米到底能不能食用，扬子晚报记者咨询了南京蔬菜花卉研究所专门研究玉米的戴先生。

In order to prove the new black waxy maize exactly can edible,Yangzi evening news reporter consultation with the nanjing institute of flowers vegetables a special study of the corn of Mr. Wear.

　　戴先生告诉记者，这种玉米产自山西，是一个全新的品种。目前南京市场上这样的玉米比较少，就算有，一般的商贩也不太会进货，因为都没有吃过，价钱又很高，况且长得“黑漆漆”的，一般人也不敢买。有的市民大着胆子买回了这些玉米，却在下锅煮的时候发现煮出了颜色，白白把好玉米全扔了。其实，这种“墨汁”的产生是因为此种玉米中含有水溶性黑色素，俗称“花青素”。而这种花青素是无毒无害的，完全可以放心食用。而且就其营养价值来看，它有抗癌、增强免疫力的功效，硒含量也要高出普通玉米数倍，有一定的食疗作用。

Mr Dai told reporters,This kind of corn produced in shanxi,Is a brand new varieties.At present, nanjing field of the corn is less,Even with,General vendors also not too will purchase,Because have not eaten,Price and high,Besides grow"dark"of,The average person can't buy.Some citizens as they dared to buy back the corn,But in the pot boiled found boiled out of the color,In vain to give good corn all threw.In fact,this"ink"Because the production of this kind of corn contain water soluble melanin,Commonly known as"anthocyanin".And this kind of anthocyanins is non-toxic harmless,Can be at ease completely edible.And its nutritional value to see,It has anti-cancer/Enhance immunity effect,Selenium content also wants tower above common corn several times,Have certain food therapy effect.

　　那么玉米有黄色、白色、花色，现在又出现了黑色，会不会是有人故意将玉米染色然后变相出卖呢？戴先生为记者解释了疑问，因为在玉米的表层，会看到一层光亮的蜡质层，一般来说很难对其染色，就这种黑糯玉米来看，连它的心都是黑色的，普通的染色就更难做到了。况且，也不会有人为了赚一点点玉米的钱大费周章地将其染色。所以，市民可以放心食用。(实习生 常青媛 记者 陈郁)
