Of Popping Oils
In considering the relative merits of
coconut oil and peanut oil for popping
corn, exliibitors and concessionaires may
well consider not only the burning point
of both, but more important, the smoke
point.
"The burning point of coconut oil is
600°P and its smoke point is 350°F," according
to J. A. Ryan, vice-president and sales
manager of C. F. Simonin's Sons, Inc.
FUMES ARE VOLATILE
"The popping temperature used in most
modern machines is between 470°F and
500 °F. At these temperatures the fumes
rising above coconut oil are very volatile
and if they come in contact with a spark
from a motor, for example, are likely to
flash." According to Ryan, "this has been
the cause of many fires in popcorn machines
throughout the country, thus the
danger is not from burning but rather
from the flash of the rising fumes.
"The smoke point of the peanut oil used
in Popsit is about 460''F and the flash
point is 654 °F. There is no danger, therefore,
from flash fires when using peanut oil
because the popping temperature is far
below the flash point. While the burning
point of coconut oil is 60O°P, the burning
point of peanut oil is 725 °P.
DON'T LEAVE CORN IN
BOXES
"It is true that coconut oil does not turn
rancid. However, there is no danger of
rancidity when using peanut oil in lobby
popping operations where the corn is consumed
within a day or so after it is popped.
It is important, however, that popcorn
should not be held overnight in these boxes,
because the heat forces the flavor of the
cardboard into the corn, causing a disagreeable
flavor which is often attributed
to rancidity, but it is merely the sulphite
in the cardboard."
