What is it for:
Popcorn Topping:
Industrial-scale popcorn caramel serves as a delicious topping for popcorn, adding sweet flavor and providing a crunchy texture.
Consumer Product:
It is used in the food industry to create ready-to-eat products, such as caramelized popcorn packaged for sale in cinemas, supermarkets or other establishments.
How it works:
Caramel Preparation:
Caramel is prepared using sugar, water, and often corn syrup or other ingredients to give it the desired texture.
Heating and Cooking:
The ingredients are heated and cooked until they reach the correct consistency. This process can be done in large tanks or industrial cauldrons.
Application in Popcorn:
The popcorn is usually popped separately and then the caramel topping is applied to it while it is still hot, allowing the caramel to adhere to the surface.
Cooling and Hardening:
After application, the caramelized popcorn is cooled so that the caramel hardens, forming a crunchy layer around the popcorn.
