What actually happened
There's no limits within food science. How? why? wondering. Well, think of that little corn kernel, and that small wonder, changes from a hard golden seed to a cloud of warmth and flavor? This popular munching snack is an interesting example of physics and chemistry in a team. This phenomenon is due to the special structure of popcorn kernels and the behavior of water within it. The pop is not a chemical explosion but a carefully controlled physical reaction involving heat, moisture and starch, says food science. Scroll down to know the chemical science behind the entire process.
