Corn Industries Research Foundation

Dr. French was honored by Iowa State University in his appointment as Charles F. Curtis Distinguished Professor in 1968. His research was supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the Corn Industries Research Foundation, and the Corn Refiners Association. He served as a consultant to government agencies and industrial companies. He was a member of the study section for Physiological Chemistry of the National Institutes of Health, and was for many years a consultant with the National Starch and Chemical Company of New Jersey.

Fortunately for carbohydrate chemistry, and with Prof. Adams insistence, Dr. Jeanes decided to accept a position at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Washington D.C., in the laboratory of the celebrated carbohydrate pioneer Claude S. Hudson. Her support came from one of the first Fellowships of the Corn Industries Research Foundation. With Hudson she developed methods using periodate oxidation to determine the structure of starches, marking the start of her long fascination with carbohydrate polymers. Dr. Jeanes then continued her studies of carbohydrates with Dr. Horace Isbell at the National Bureau of Standards (now the National Institute of Standards and Technology). 

Data on the consumption, sales, and prices of grain and grain products are collected by the Milwaukee Grain Exchange. Monthly figures on the production of corn and its products are assembled by the Corn Industries Research Foundation, New York, but are available to members only. 

This Chapter was prepared, in part, while the author was a Visiting Lecturer in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois. I am indebted to that Department for their cooperation in this endeavor. I also thank the Corn Industries Research Foundation for a grant from which several Russian articles were translated, and Mr. R. Kent Mann who made some of the initial survey of the literature.
