Abstract: Suppressed-pop popcorn is made by soaking popcorn kernels in a room temperature aqueous enzyme solution. The enzyme solution degrades the pericarp structure of the popcorn kernels and increases the moisture content within the popcorn kernels. As a result, the popcorn kernels partially pop when exposed to heat, yielding a crunchy, orally satisfying snack.
