Popcorn is the perfect transformation of corn

A popcorn seed can pop out of its shell in an instant and become more popular than a corn kernel. With the mini explosion of their transformation, the kernels swell up to 50 times their original size, making them fluffy and chewy, with nutritional benefits such as fiber and antioxidants that make them snack superheroes.

Why does corn explode?

A popcorn kernel has three key components: a tough outer shell called the pericarp, an intermediate layer called the endosperm, and the innermost part called the germ or seed embryo. Each popcorn shell is filled with water and starch. When the kernels are heated, the water turns into steam. This steam creates pressure inside the seed. As the pressure increases, the starch begins to soften. When the seed reaches about 350 degrees, the shell or peel explodes under pressure and the starch breaks the boundaries of the shell.

Why doesn’t every kernel of corn become popcorn?

Each seed needs about 14% water. If the moisture content is below this level, the steam is reduced and the seeds are less likely to be under enough pressure to burst and swell.

The nutritional value of popcorn

Popcorn is more than just a mouth-watering, delicious snack. Popcorn is also nutritious, thanks to a high concentration of polyphenols – healthy micronutrients found in plant foods and high in antioxidants that protect cells in the body from breaking down. According to a 2012 study, a serving of popcorn contains 300 milligrams of polyphenols – nearly three times the polyphenol content of a serving of sweet corn and almost twice the polyphenol content of a serving of fruit. The reason they are rich in nutrients is because popcorn kernels contain an average of 4% water, while fruits and vegetables contain 90% water. When the inner core bursts, what’s left is the starch and epidermis, where the fiber and polyphenols reside. After digestion, the fiber transports polyphenols into the bloodstream, which in turn can have a positive effect on the health of those who eat popcorn.

Popcorn production line Features

1. Save manpower

Transform traditional workshop processing into automated production

2. High equipment utilization rate

After a group of equipment enters the production line, the output is several times higher than that of a single operation

3, high product quality

Equipment in the production process, temperature time equipment, feeding and discharging once completed

4, stable production capacity

When a single machine fails, the material transfer can bypass the faulty machine and not affect the output of the entire production line.
