High-fructose corn syrup metabolizes to fat in the human body much faster than other sugars, resulting in increased fat gain. Since the fructose is consumed in liquid form, the negative effects on human metabolism are even greater (Barrett). High fructose corn syrup is not digested by the body as easily as natural sugar is. It takes the human body one day to digest natural sugar, while it takes up to four days to digest a serving of high fructose corn syrup. This means that your body is continuously working to digest high fructose corn syrup if the body consumes processed foods or drink soda on a regular basis.
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.
For example, when baker’s make dough for bread, they use yeast to make the dough rise and become bigger, fluffier and softer. If the baker would have just made the dough without yeast, the bread would be much harder and flat. Next, baking soda and baking powder are similar and can be substituted for each other. These two leavening agents are very important in a lot of baking. Baking soda has an acid content that reacts with any of the acids in the recipe and produces carbon dioxide.
Once the can was hot enough it was quickly placed in a bowl of ice cold water and the can crushed itself. This occurred due to the pressure on the outside of the can being much greater than that of the inside. When the water inside the can evaporated the inside was left with the steam occupying the volume inside of it. Once the can was submerged all of the steam dissipated leaving the inside empty allowing the pressure on the outside to crush it in. The marshmallow and balloon lab were similar to these two demonstrations.
A mud pie is dry, grainy, and cracks easily. Although a mud pie is not edible, it is messy and fun to make. Apples pies can be made with sweet or tart apples, either of which makes a delicious pie. Apples are peeled, cored and cut into thin slices, mixed with flour, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. This mixture is enclosed in a double crust and baked until golden brown and bubbly.
Water serves as a solvent which means it dissolves other ingredients such as salt, sugar and yeast to produce a solution. Also, the dough can be soften by water. So a flexible texture are provided for the gas expanding. If the dough is too hard, it is difficult for dough to create volume to trap the CO2. Experiment 1B Baking Results and discussion After place the dough in a pre-warmed oven at 200 degree and bake for 30 to 45mintues, the crust will be golden brown.
The dependant variable will be the amount of un-popped kernels left over. Relevance of Testable Question This experiment is relevant because in this economy everyone want to know that they are getting the absolute best value for each purchase that they make. If a bag of popcorn appears cheaper at first look because of the price, but half of it doesn’t pop is it really a good value? Knowing what will provide the best value will help others with future purchases to get the most value. Literature Review I chose two experiments that were similar to the one that I plan to conduct.
Of course the Honey Nut Cheerios have honey and ground almonds mixed in, to give off their great honey taste. While on the other hand, Apple Cinnamon Cheerios have dried apple pieces, cinnamon and brown sugar. Both add preservatives to add freshness to the cereals. Sometimes the preservatives can be harmful if not properly used which does not happen very often. The big question is which is healthier Honey Nut or Apple Cinnamon.
So even though both types of bread are made with whole grains, they have a different color, taste and texture. Whole wheat bread is much higher in fiber than white bread. Fiber aids digestion. Fiber also helps you feel full and makes it easier for you to control your weight. It has many health benefits.
That’s because whole grains have been shown to reduce the risk of such conditions as high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, obesity and several types of cancer. Popcorn is a low glycemic carbohydrate, which means that it is released slowly in the blood making lower blood sugar levels. Whole grains also are full of fiber which can rid the body of toxins and slow the digestive progress, making you feel fuller for longer periods of time so you eat less. The government recommendations for whole grains mean that you should eat no less than three servings of whole grains every day and popcorn is a great way to meet this requirement. Popcorn is a low-calorie snack as well with only 30 calories a cup if air popped.
