Popping ability it related to the toughness of the outer hull of the popcorn and the moisture content of the kernel. The best popping brands have a thinner outer shell and a higher moisture content. They have been hybridized to produce these qualities.

What are materials for different brands of popcorn leaves different amounts of unpopped kernels?
Different bags mean different ages and storage places. They could of been made with different things and older things. All popcorn bags are different might have less kernels or less unpopped kernels when u cook it. I am doing a science fair project and I'm doing it on, "Does the different brands of popcorn affect the total of unpopped kernels?" I have a lot of info that you can see above. You think there is no a lot of info but go to Google and type in, "does different types of popcorn affect the total of unpopped kernels and look. One thing that makes a difference is amount of popcorn in the bag, how much time you put it in for, and the most important is INGREDIENTS. This girl did something like this and she said palm oil makes a difference. The smallest things make the biggest differences.
Does the amount of butter affect the amount of kernels popping in popcorn?
Yes, in fact, it does. Each kernel of popcorn contains a certain amount of moisture and oil, and if altered with flavoring or butter amount, then the corn will pop a greater or less amount of popcorn.
Does how long you heat popcorn affect the amount of unpopped popcorn?
yes but u might wanna be careful for it not to explode and to burn it but unfortanley yup!
How does the brand of popcorn affect the amount popped?
no i think they pop the same.
How does the storage temperature of popcorn affect the ratio of kernels popped?
The storage temperature of popcorn affects the ratio of kernels popped, because if you freeze the kernels, it messes with the moisture in the middle of the kernels. (The moisture is what heats up, causing the popcorn to explode.)But when the popcorn is stored at room temperature the moisture is not altered in any way, making it the BEST way to pop the kernel.
How long do popcorn kernels stay fresh?
If stored in an air tight container it will stay fresh for weeks. As time goes on the popcorn kernels will lose more moisture and that will affect the way they pop. You can freeze these and they will stay fresh longer.
Does moisture content affect popcorn popping effectiveness?
Yes. I found that popping popcorn when it is very humid yields hardly popped kernels.
What is the shelf life of freezing popcorn?
If stored in an air tight container it will stay fresh for weeks. As time goes on the popcorn kernels will lose more moisture and that will affect the way they pop. You can freeze these and they will stay fresh longer.
Does carmel affect the popping of corn kernels?
I am not sure how caramel affects the popping of the corn but after some research, I have found that most recipes require the caramel after the popcorn has popped. That is how I make it.
Does temperature affect the popping of kernels?
It depends...... where exactly do you want to put the popcorn if it is really hot and you put it in the microwave it will most likly pop better or burn. if it is cold it will probably work.........
Does temperature affect popcorn popping?
Yes temperature does affect how popcorn pops. It the temperature is too low, not very many kernels will heat up enough to explode. If the temperature is too hot, you will burn the kernels that explode first. Using a stir type hot air popper will eliminate some of these issues.
What are some testable urban legends wives tales or myths that you can use on a Science Experiment?
Does eating chocolate really cause acne? Can you really get a sunburn on a cloudy day? Does the full moon affect human behavior? Do different types of music affect plant growth? Is it possible to pop popcorn with just a cellphone and a bag of kernels?
