Popcorn can also have non-f Popcorn, also known as popping corn, is a type of corn (maize, Zea mays var. everta) that expands from the kernel and puffs up whenheated. Popcorn is able to pop because, like amaranth grain, sorghum, quinoa, and millet, its kernels have a hard moisture-sealed hulland a dense starchy interior. When heated, pressure builds within the kernel, and a small explosion (or "pop") is the end result. Somestrains of corn are now cultivated specifically as popping corns.
The only major ingredient found on the nutritional facts on the back of the cereal box would be cornmeal. After researching the origin of this cereals particular cornmeal could not be found. Cornmeal is a kind of flour or meal that is made from ground sweet corn. Sweet corn is found in many different farms. In order to keep this cereal fresh, BHT has been added to the packaging.
Kellogg should first consider the demand for dry cereal product in India, based on cultural preferences and other preferences in breakfast food. " Indians, rather like the Chinese, think that to start the day with something cold -- like cold milk on your cereal -- is a shock to the system," (Bhan & Nemer, 2006). The company may not be able to sell some products, like Corn Flakes, in its current form. Adding warm milk will make the flakes soggy and undesirable. Kellogg may need to consider whether limiting the product line to Rice Krispies is a better option.
Kim Ratz (2005) calculated that out of the 10,000 items that consumers find in a typical grocery store, “At least 2,500 items use corn in some form during the production or processing.” The solution would be to start replacing corn products such as High Fructose Corn Syrup with with less damaging sweeteners. One alternative is Lucuma Powder. According to Navitasnaturals.com (2011), Lucuma Powder has been certified as raw, kosher, gluten-free, vegan, and 100% organic. It also actually has healthy benefits such as naturally occurring beta-carotene, niacin, and iron. And it's actually very low in sugars.
It is also a polysaccharide consisting of chains of glucose monomers. Its main use is to produce paper but is also used as a food additive like starch. Because starch is a polymer of glucose and it cannot be directly fermented to ethanol. Bioethanol is a type of fuel produced from plants such as sugar cane or corn. It is produced by the fermentation of sugars with yeast and is concentrated by distillation to be used as fuel.
Several studies made by universities, independent organizations, and the government blame the high fructose corn syrup for the condition. I do not agree 100 percent with that position. I think HFCS is necessary in our food chain, and will benefit us (the consumers) if we control the daily intake of food with high concentrations of fructose derivate from corn. Less soda, chips, alcoholic beverages and increasing the intake of water, fruits, vegetables, and exercise to stimulate the chemical process of the body will help the pancreas to increase the segregation of insulin, which is in charge of processing any type of fructose, or sugar. Making small adjustments to our daily habits could significantly improve overall human health, and reduce diabetes cases.
This simple sugar is also known as monosaccharide, since it is actually a single sweetening molecule. Crystalline fructose, just like the high fructose corn syrup is derived from corn, and is often mistakenly assumed to be the same thing, it is not. Extra processing steps result in the crystalline product that is almost a 100% pure fructose. Federal standards define crystalline fructose as a 98% fructose with the remaining 2% being minerals and water. It is 20% sweeter than sucrose (table sugar) or high fructose corn syrup.
Life Science Michael Garcia Virtual Lab #1 8/30/14 Dependent and Independent Variables Introduction The use of transgenic corn crops has increased over the years. This type of modified corn is in use because of its resistance to pests like the European Corn Borer (ECB). In this experiment, the effect of ECB infestation on corn crop yields will be examined. Two varieties of transgenic and two varieties of non-transgenic corn seeds will be used to see how well they weather the infestations. The independent variable for this lab is the ECB infestation, and the dependent variable will be the yield of corn.
Many dieters say soy milk is perfect, but nevertheless there are many others who say that almond milk is the best. My intention is to compare soy milk (vanilla) versus almond milk (vanilla) and expose the strengths and weaknesses of both in order to have a better understanding at the time of purchase. All the nutritional data I’m going to use for this comparison has been obtained through ESHA, with a control of 8oz of each product. Calorically speaking, vanilla soy milk has about 150 calories versus 90 in the vanilla almond milk. For those people that count calories, almond milk has the advantage.
Popping corn Aim: Which corn makes the best pop corn crushed or non-crushed Materials: • Saucepan with glass lid • Cooking oil • Popping corn • Pliers Method: 1. Use the pliers to gently crush but not break up half the corn. 2. Cook crushed corn and then the uncrushed corn. Result: The non-crushed corn worked the best.
