This study aimed to evaluate the suitability of a polenta industry by-productobtained from different maize genotypes as an ingredient in the production ofArgentine alfajor biscuits. One commercial soft-grained yellow hybrid maize,four open-pollinated varieties, and six inbred lines were used. Grain physicalcharacteristics and by-product flour physicochemical and thermal traits weredetermined. Biscuit production and physical and technological characteristicswere studied. The test weight exhibited a significant negative correlation withparameters such as biscuit diameter (r = -0.52) and biscuit height (r = -0.46).The flotation index was positively associated with the diameter of the foodproduct, presenting an r coefficient of 0.5. Harder grains with a higher test weightprovided a milling by-product that can be used to obtain biscuits with a largerdiameter-to-height ratio and a smaller cracking area. The biscuits made withgenotypes like BulkASC, C6006, and C980 were considered suitable for alfajorbiscuits because they exhibited low hardness, adequate moisture content, ahigh diameter-to-height ratio, and a uniform surface with lower cracking.
