A method for producing fermentation-based products from corn where the starch has a low gelatinization temperature is provided to be used to produce the fermentation-based products more efficiently with lower energy. The method for producing fermentation-based products from corn comprises a step of mixing a microorganism capable of fermenting a carbon source with the corn to produce fermentation-based products and is characterized in that it uses a corn including a starch having a gelatinization temperature of less than about 60 deg.C. In the method, the corn is derived from a maize plant endosperm of which is homozygous recessive for the allele selected from the group consisting of sugary2, sugary2-waxy, dull-sugary2, dull-sugary2-waxy, amylose extender-dull-waxy, amylose extender-sugary2, and dosage combinations thereof, and the fermentation-based product is selected from the group consisting of ethanol, citric acid, butanol, hydrogen, lactic acid, vitamins, and soluble sugars.
