Why does eating hopping candy have a jumping sensation on my tongue?

Hopping candy was our favorite snack when we were kids, and the magic of it is that it jumps on the tongue. When I was a child, when I ate jumping candy, I would become very excited when my mouth jumped, as if I was doing magic. Jumping candy is a food, which is characterized by "jumping", or it will not be so popular with children.

The interesting thing about popping candy is that it adds carbonic acid.

The fun little candy particles snap on the tongue.

Hopping candy containsCarbon dioxideWhen carbon dioxide is put into the mouth, it is heated with moisture and produces carbonic acid. Carbonic acid is heated to produce water carbon dioxide. This cycle continues, causing the sugar to jump around until all the carbon dioxide is exhaled from the mouth.

Actually, andSodaThe principle is the same, except that our mouths are like soda bottles

In fact, the main ingredients used in popping candy are not much different from those ordinary hard candies, but in the process of making, there are many "small bubble structures" inside the candy, which encapsulates "high-pressure carbon dioxide bubbles, which look like carbonated drinks."

It's very similar, but it's actually quite different.

Once the popping candy touches the saliva on our tongue, the saliva melts the popping candy, and the "encapsulated" small bubbles will become fragile, which will let the carbon dioxide inside come out, and it will make the hopping candy melt cake and jump, and there will be a beating sensation on the tongue. In general, there is carbon dioxide in the jumping candy, and when it encounters water, the sugar on the outside dissolves and the carbon dioxide on the inside comes out, resulting in the feeling of "jumping". These things are harmless to people, so there is no need to worry.

Because a lot of carbon dioxide gas is converted, there will be this sensation on the tongue.

Because when eating hopping candy, some gas bursts out, and you will feel this way.

Because popping candy will release some substances in the mouth, it makes people feel like there is a feeling of **.

Because the popping candy converts all the carbon dioxide gas out, it feels like this.

That is supposed to be a principle for sugar containing carbon dioxide in the air will jump and cola.

Because the popping candy is filled with carbonic acid, it will produce gas when put in the mouth.

This is due to the infinite cycle of carbon dioxide and carbonic acid.

Why does Hopping Candy "jump" as soon as it touches the tongue? It turned out that it was all "playing tricks".

Causes: The carbon dioxide 5261 contained in Hopping Candy 2113 is vaporized in the mouth when heated, and a thrust is generated to make the Hopping Candy Pellet 4102 jump in the mouth.

The secret 1653 secret that jumping candy can jump is hidden in its production process. The main ingredients used in popping candy are actually not much different from those ordinary hard candies, but inside the candy, there are many "small bubble structures" that "encapsulate" high-pressure carbon dioxide inside.

Bubble. If you look at it with a microscope, you can see these "small bubble structures".

When the popping candy touches the tongue, the saliva begins to dissolve the sugar on it, and the outer wall of the small space that "encapsulates" the small bubbles becomes fragile, at this time, the carbon dioxide inside escapes, pushing the popping candy to crack and "jump" further, creating a crackling sensation on the tongue.

Hopping Candy***Hong Kong Translation**Sugar, English: Pop Rocks*** is a kind of carbonated candy, a snack food with entertainment properties, so why do you jump when you eat it?

Popping candy contains carbon dioxide, and when carbon dioxide is put in the mouth, it is heated and added with water, resulting in carbonic acid. Carbonic acid is heated to produce water carbon dioxide. This keeps looping, causing the sugar to jump around until all the carbon dioxide is removed from the mouth.

In addition, when making popping candy, high-pressure carbon dioxide gas is added to the hot syrup. Carbon dioxide gas forms small, high-pressure bubbles in the sugar. The pressure is released after the sugar cube has cooled, and the sugar cube will crumble, but the fragment still contains high-pressure bubbles.

When you put the sugar cube in ***, the gas is released after the sugar is dissolved, and you will hear a "boom" sound.

How to make hopping candy

So what exactly does Hopping Candy work for? First, let's take a look at the process of making hard candy cubes. Hard candy nuggets are made from white sugar, corn syrup, water, and seasonings.

Mix these things together to melt the sugar first, and then boil all the water in the mixture. Then continue to raise the temperature so that you can make a pure syrup, which turns into a hard lump of sugar when the syrup cools.

To make popping candy, high-pressure carbon dioxide gas is added to the hot syrup. Carbon dioxide gas forms small, high-pressure bubbles in the sugar. When the pressure is released after the sugar cube has cooled, the sugar cube will crumble, but the fragments still contain high-pressure bubbles, which you can see through a magnifying glass.

When you put the sugar cube in ***, and the gas is released after the sugar melts, you will hear a "boom" sound. What you hear and feel is actually the process by which carbon dioxide gas is released from every bubble, and it feels like there's a jelly bean bouncing in your mouth.

How do you infuse carbon dioxide into a melted syrup mixture? The technique of making popping candy is very clever.

*1*** The sweetener is dissolved in a small amount of water with a little seasoning and coloring, and then the solution is heated to 150 degrees Celsius in an airtight container, vacuumed to reduce the amount of moisture, and then carbon dioxide is injected into the container under high pressure using a pump.

*2*** After that, the external access of the container is cut off to maintain the high pressure in it, and the temperature is cooled to allow the sugar to cool down into a large glassy solid.

*3*** Then open the external pipe of the container to relieve the pressure in it, which not only allows most of the carbon dioxide to escape, but also causes the solidified sugar cubes to automatically disintegrate and disperse into many small pieces of candy that resemble pebbles. These candies still contain many tiny carbon dioxide bubbles, so when you have a popping candy in your mouth, as the surface of the sugar gradually dissolves, the small bubbles inside also burst one by one, making a crackling sound.
