The Chemistry Magic Behind Popcorn American Chemical Society Share
Joy of Science Channel: Culinary Chemistry Series Time/date: 2 to 3 p.m. ET April 19 Discoveries in Mexico and Peru suggest the earliest popcorn parties date back to cave people thousands of years ago. Undoubtedly, in roasting corn over an open fire and quickly collecting the popped kernels, the 3-second rule was born. Legend has it that popped corn was first shared with the pilgrims during the first Thanksgiving. In modern times, popcorn has exploded as a favorite snack in the United States and is fast bursting into international fame. Americans consume an estimated 17 billion quarts of the white fluffy stuff every year. How has chemistry aided in making popcorn a favorite treat? Meet Your Experts Sara Risch is the director of research and development and quality assurance for Popz Europe, a microwave popcorn company. Prior to joining Popz, she had her own consulting business, working with food, flavor and packaging companies. She received her both her bachelor's degree and doctorate in food science from the University of Minnesota. She has master's in food science from the University of Georgia. Her work has focused primarily on microwave foods and food-package interactions. Bill Courtney is the chef/owner of Cheese-ology Macaroni & Cheese, located in the University City Loop, west of St. Louis. Following completion of his undergraduate degree in chemistry at the University of Missouri–Columbia, Courtney worked a short time as a Q.C. chemist for ConvaTec. A shift in interest eventually took him to the The Genome Institute at Washington University, where he spent nine years working with the leading genetic and genomic research scientists in the United States. In a radical move, Courtney struck out on his own to open Cheese-ology, the culmination of years of a self-described "unnatural obsession" with macaroni and cheese. Open since June 2010, Cheese-ology Macaroni & Cheese features more than 15 varieties of its namesake dish to satisfy any mac 'n cheese craving. Register now!
