A. Project Plan/ Problem Statement Who likes all of those un-popped kernels at the bottom of the popcorn bowl during movie night? Not too many we assume. Therefore, this experiment will answer the question which brand of butter popcorn will leave the least amount of kernels. The experiment will microwave three different brands (independent variable) of popcorn for 4 minutes and then count the remaining kernels (dependent variable).
You'll also find it in processed foods ranging from salad dressings and ketchup, to jams, jellies, ice cream and many others - even bread. HFCS contains 14-percent fructose, much more than regular corn syrup. I'm concerned that it has disruptive effects on metabolism, because the body doesn't utilize fructose well, and humans have never before consumed it in such quantity.Of course, HFCS isn't solely to blame for the obesity epidemic. The AMA correctly pointed out that as consumption of HFCS rose, Americans were also consuming more calories (of all kinds) and becoming less active. All told, however, consumption of HFCS in the United States increased by more than 1,000 percent between 1970 and 1990, and a study published in the April 2004 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, concluded that Americans over the age of two consume more than 300 calories daily from caloric sweeteners, one-sixth of their average daily calories.
Kids consume one to two cups or more which double the content of sugar consumption. What’s interesting is that General Mills makes more than just sugary cereals, they also make some “healthy” more adult cereals. Cheerios for instance, claimed to reduce Cholesterol and had studies to back it up; the Food and Drug Administration told General Mills they could not market Cheerios showing clinical trials they may or may not have been accurate causing speculation on the validity of their
Plain baked potatoes instead of French fries and high-fibre, fortified cereals instead of high-fat doughnuts would be healthier. Small changes like these could improve her diet dramatically. “Try not drinking so much soft drink,” Mary suggests. “Bottled water or a glass of milk would be much more beneficial.” “I can’t drink milk!” Clara says. “Last time I had a glass of milk, my stomach hurt for hours.
Something else to consider is how the nutrition label misleads you. Ingredients such as azodicarbonamide, High Fructose Corn Syrup, E405 and polyoxyethylene-(20)-sorbitan monostearate, all corn derivatives by the way, do not end up on the known list of items to cook with amongst your average American. On top of this, some of the nutrition facts may look helpless enough. Someone might think, “Hey, there aren’t too many calories or grams of sugar in this snack.” What they might not pay attention to is that those numbers are for one serving only. One package may contain, for example, four serving sizes or more.
High fructose corn syrup is associated with liver scarring. The condition, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, is present in about 30% of all American adults, but was recently discovered that it is rare.
Since popcorn is one of the top snacks consumed in America it is important to know which brand popcorns pops the most, considering the fact that there are expensive brands and inexpensive brand and its the perception that expensive brand popcorns will pop the most. The following experiment is conducted to determine which brand of popcorn will yield the most kernels popped then un-popped. Problem Statement Do all the brands pop the same amount of kernels or different brands yield different amount of popped and un-popped popcorn?. This experiment will show the brand that yields the most popped kernels. Relevance to the question Many different expensive and inexpensive brands might have different rate of kernels being popped and un-popped.
Fiber, also known as roughage, contains many properties that aid our digestion tract, and allow us to process waste products more efficiently. According to Nutrition.gov (2013) fiber can be found in many of our favorite foods including whole grains, vegetables, and fruits. There are two types of fiber, soluble and insoluble. Soluble fibers dissolve in water, and when digested, “form viscous solutions in the intestines” (Grosvenor & Smolin, 2006). “Fibers that cannot be digested by bacteria in the large intestines are called insoluble fibers because they do not dissolve in water.” (Grosvenor & Smolin, 2006) High fiber diets can produce many benefits, including higher nutrient absorption levels, and better waste output.
This study is intended to find out the optimum combination of time (140sec 150sec 160sec 170sec) and power level (80%, 100%) in the process of making popcorn. Also, consumer taste preference was evaluated using subjective analysis to find out the taste preference for popcorns made from these different combinations. The combination of time and power of 150 seconds and 100% is found to be most suitable in terms of the popcorn quality and taste is concerned. The 160 seconds and 100% power combination produced less number of un-popped corns. Introduction: Popcorn is the number 1 snack food in the world and runs a close second in the United States to potato chips.
