Calculate optimum percentage for startch.
There are ovens made to burn corn -- you may find some data
in their parents (see <www.uspto.gov> )

Important note, though:
1 food calorie = 1000 thermochemical calories = 4184 Joules
Food calories are sometimes called 'large' calories.
I have a bag of ordinary wheat flour that contains 400 food calories per 4 oz. portion. Thus, 1600 Kcal/lb = 6.694 MJ/lb = 14.7 MJ/Kg = 14.7 KJ/g

You have everything. Carbohidrate = n( C+H2+0); needs 2O-s
Determine weights, using air ( N2 adds only weight).
Find spec. heat of products, etc.
