Did you know that food processing is pure chemistry?

Think popcorn. The recipe is easy: oil and corn in the pan. All on fire for a few minutes and plot, plot, plot! The corn bursts, turning into that delicious treat you know well. How did this happen? Heating produces changes in the structure of the corn husk, preventing the water vapor that forms inside it from escaping. Under pressure, the corn kernels are transformed into a gel. When the pressure rises above a certain threshold, the popcorn pops because the shell breaks. In this process, the superheated water vapor and the crumb in the form of a gel expand and quickly cool down. What do we have then? The popcorn!
