'''Yinmoh''' is a [[Corumm]]ese food produced from dried maize (corn) kernels that have been treated with an alkali.
{{Stub}}


To make yinmoh, field corn (maize) grain is dried, then treated by soaking and cooking the mature (hard) grain in a dilute solution of lye (sodium hydroxide) (which can be produced from water and wood ash) or of slaked lime (calcium hydroxide from limestone). The maize is then washed thoroughly to remove the bitter flavor of the lye or lime. Alkalinity helps dissolve hemicellulose, the major glue-like component of the maize cell walls, loosens the hulls from the kernels, and softens the corn. Also, soaking the corn in lye kills the seed's germ, which keeps it from sprouting while in storage. Finally, in addition to providing a source of dietary calcium, the lye or lime reacts with the corn so that the nutrient niacin can be assimilated by the digestive tract. People consume yinmoh in intact kernels, grind it into sand-sized particles for grits, or into flour.

In Daxian cooking, hominy is finely ground to make dough. Some of the corn oil breaks down into emulsifying agents (monoglycerides and diglycerides), and facilitates bonding the corn proteins to each other. The divalent calcium in lime acts as a cross-linking agent for protein and polysaccharide acidic side chains. Cornmeal from untreated ground corn cannot form a dough with the addition of water.
In [[Corumm]], the case had the effect of generating public anger against the [[Catholic Church]] and formation of the [[Anti-Catholic League]], an advocacy group calling for the banning of Catholic practice in Corumm. The League's advocacy and public outrage about the case among other factors, lead to the establishment of state atheism in Corumm in 1994.


Previously, consuming untreated corn was thought to cause niacin deficiency either from the corn itself or some infectious element in untreated corn. However, further advancements showed that it is a correlational, not causal, relationship.

Qua v. His Most Christian Majesty's Government (1991) was a landmark case before the Archducal Court of Urcea in which it upheld the legal ability of children to obtain baptism in the Catholic Church regardless of the consent of their parents, and additionally ruled that in such cases the underaged minor could apply for religious asylum on the grounds of basic qualifications of Urcean citizenship. The specific case dealt with the family of Chul Lung Qua, a Daxian national living in Urcea on business. During the family's time in Urcea, Qua's daughter Wei Fen became an adherent of Catholicism and was baptized by a priest without the consent of her parents. Following a high profile media circus in which the daughter asked the Government of Urcea for asylum on the grounds of her religious faith and fate she would face in Corumm, the government granted asylum on 18 June 1989. Qua sued the government on the grounds that, even if the baptism was valid, the government should consider the wishes of the family and parents, and that in any event based on the laws of Urcea religious affiliation was not the sole criteria of granting asylum. The Archducal Court ruled unanimously for the government, establishing broad precedent for religious asylum in Urcea. The case opened up additional litigation regarding individuals making insincere baptisms in order to attain asylum in Urcea, including 2011's Mispa v. Ministry of State, which ruled that otherwise valid baptisms determined to be insincere following an investigation by Church authorities would remove the ability of the individual to apply for religious asylum; that case was named for Amal Mispa, a national of Duamacia.

In Corumm, the case had the effect of generating public anger against the Catholic Church and formation of the Anti-Catholic League, an advocacy group calling for the banning of Catholic practice in Corumm. The League's advocacy and public outrage about the case among other factors, lead to the establishment of state atheism in Corumm in 1994.
