Check out the video to see it all for yourself. The video shows the white fluffy corn break through the outer shell into the soft shapes we know and love, and recognize as one of our favorite snacks. We make popcorn in a bag in the microwave or on the stovetop pretty frequently, but it's rare that we take the time to stop and appreciate how each kernel is transforming into a tasty little corn puff in just seconds. You'll notice that one kernel is popped at a time, so that we can really focus on what's happening in the moment. According to Foodbeast, the video is going at 30,000 frames per second, which makes the popping process slow enough to pique your interest.
Either that or they just had the means to make it available. I guess they figured out the lulling effects a bit earlier than the rest of us. Warped Perception is known for its slow-motion videos. More specifically, watching popcorn pop in slow motion in the video below may really calm your nerves. (Ponomarenko is now doing a postdoctoral fellowship at a French government agency for agronomical research.) Their fellow scientists were using a high-speed camera to take 2,900 pictures per second of physical phenomena, like a drop landing on the surface of water.Had a long day? Watching food videos in slow motion might help you de-stress. Their investigations were inspired by colleagues in the hydrodynamics laboratory at Ecole Polytechnique in Palaiseau, where Virot is working on his doctorate degree and Ponomarenko got his in 2012. They simply wanted to understand the physical origins of some of its most distinctive traits, like the forces that make kernels jump and the source of the iconic pop-pop-pop sound. Virot and Ponomarenko aren’t interested in improving popcorn. Plant breeders have reduced the rate of unpopped kernels by 75% since the 1950s. Food engineers concluded that the ideal shape for an unpopped kernel is a sphere.
Food chemists determined that the optimum moisture content of a kernel is 13.5% to 14% of its total weight. Until now, most research on popcorn has been focused on practical questions.
