Abstract. It was necessary to choose maize inbred lines with significantly richer pigment-complex properties and the exceptional nutritional value in order to meet the many demands and justifiable needs for quality nutrition of people (primarily children and the elderly), domestic animals, as well as for industrial processing (semi- and final products). Such inbred lines allowed for the development of high-quality maize hybrids that adhere to accepted medical standards regarding the well-being of human and domestic animal nutrition as well as extensively developed industrial processing.
