Popcorn is rich in antioxidants for health
According to the British "Independent" report, American scientists declared at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society in Washington that the snack popcorn in movie theaters is a healthy food that is rich in antioxidants and polyphenols.
The team of Joe Vinson, a professor of chemistry at Scranton University in Pennsylvania, analyzed many whole-grain breakfasts and snacks, and found that whole-grain foods contained antioxidants equivalent to those in vegetables and fruits, while popcorn contained 2.5%. The polyphenols are higher than other whole grain foods. Polyphenols can protect the heart and reduce the risk of cancer. Vegetables, fruits, chocolate, alcohol, coffee and tea all contain polyphenols.
Vincent said that popcorn is rich in polyphenols because it has not been processed. The corn skin protects many important nutrients. Vincent said that because of the different processing methods, whole grain foods of different brands have different levels of antioxidants. The simpler the processing process, the more antioxidants the whole grain food contains.
Longze automatic industrial popcorn machine is a kind of food equipment for manufacturing and producing popcorn. Popcorn machines have been used a long time ago. Scientists from Vanderbilt University and the National Institute of History of Peru have discovered popcorn and corn cob residues about 3000-6700 years ago near the north coast of Peru. It proves that corn flour and popcorn were once the main food of human ancestors living here.
Corn evolved from a weed called the Mexican milo. It was only grown as a crop in Mexico about 9,000 years ago. It was only thousands of years later that corn was introduced into South America, and it has gradually evolved and developed into several common varieties in the Andes Mountains.
Corn originating in Central America was introduced to China in the 16th century. According to records, Zheng He's voyages to the West in the Ming Dynasty brought back this high-yield crop. Outside the Americas of origin, China is an area where corn cultivation is popular. Corn is also a food crop with high total yield.
Popcorn is crisp and easy to digest, and can be used as a daily tasty snack. The invention of popcorn further reflects the richness of Chinese food. It has a deeper meaning, which is to create a food processing method, that is, puffed food. This shows that food processing is not only simple heating for cooking, but also changes the state and taste of food through the action of high temperature and high pressure. This processing method is a modern emerging Puffing food. This processing method turns ordinary food into delicious and distinctive food snacks.
