Bigger Popcorn
Explosion Makes
Bang-Up Product

AMES, IOWA.@Sclence IS putting
a bigger pop in popcorn to make il
fluffier and less crunchy.
Not long ago popcorn that ex-
ploded into "a times it's original
size was considered good. Now good
popcorn expands % to 30 times in
volume.
Some varieties developed by DR..
j. c. Eldredge and associates at the
agricultural experiment station of
Iowa State college have expanded
"a times in tests. This big an ex-
plosion doesn't always occur, and
size "a popcorn isn't available for
popcorn growers. But it may come
along in time.
The bigger the explosion, the big
ger, fluffier and tenderer the pieces
of popped corn. DR.. Eldredge said.
People like it better, even though
they get less popcorn to a bag.
Popcorn vendors like it better,
too, because it takes less corn to
draw as much money in sales.
Emphasize Explosions
For years the emphasis in plant
breeding has been to get the bigger
explosions. The job is difficult, be-
cause the corn also must give high
yields. stand up well and be suitable
for machine harvesting.
Only certain kinds Of corr pop
well. Moisture in the kernel turns
to steam, and the kernel explodes.
The steam pressure has to be gen.
Grated quickly enough to produce a
sudden expansion.
It has been thought that the hull
acted like a bomb cover, holding
in the steam for a time. But this
doesn't eem to be the answer. The
hulls can be damaged and the corn
will still pop. The popping may be
due to the structure of the millions
Of starch grains in the kernel, DR..
Eldredge said.
Research since 1928 here in the
biggest popcorn-growing state shows
some of the essentials for good pop
ping. The temperature of the pop
per should be between $50 and 500
degrees. One part of oil should be
used for every five parts of corn.
Most important, the moisture con-
tent of the corn should be about Is
to ID per cent.
Popcorn Production
The United States produces about
$50 million pounds of popcorn a
year on the average and Iowa grows
about one-third of it.
About half of the crop is sold to
motion-picture theater chains and
finds its way into vending machines.
Wholesale grocery firms take Is
per cent, selling to grocery stores
and popcorn stands. Many of the
stands buy directly from local grow
ers. The other Is per cent is used
by makers of popcorn CONNECTIONS /
with molasses. syrup or
cheese.
This year the Iowa station is test
ing nearly 1900 different crosses or
trial combinations of different lines
Of popcorn. Each year samples are
popped and measured for volume,
and tenderness. The tests sup
ply snowy mountains of popcorn
which are sold on the Iowa State
for the benefit of the Ag-
ronomy club, the student section Of
he American Society of Agronomy.
