Chem 110 09/26/2013 MODULE 5: Caloric Content of Food A) ABSTRACT: This laboratory exercise deals with on how to determine the caloric content of food by creating our own calorimeter. Measuring the energy content of three different food samples by using the change in water temperatures from the heat given off while burning the sample. To verify our results much further — equations‚ such as energy and heat capacity calculations‚ helped us establish on such results. As a result of the experiment

Energy content is an important property of food. The energy your body needs for running‚ talking‚ and thinking comes from the food you eat. Energy content is the amount of heat produced by the burning of 1 gram of a substance‚ and is measured in joules per gram (J/g). Usually‚ fat-rich foods like peanuts and cashews provide more energy than just carbohydrates like marshmallows. You can determine the energy content by burning a portion of food and capturing the heat released to a known mass of

Energy in food lab report Aim: How much energy there is in food. Hypothesis: If I work out how much the water temperature has risen by burning food underneath water‚ the mass of the water and the mass of food I can work out how much energy was in the food. Introduction: This experiment is about how much energy there is in food. There are a few different types of energy‚ the one we are looking at is chemical energy. Some other types of energy are: thermal energy which is heat‚ magnetic energy which

Matt Cramer Alex Chen 2/7/17 Food Dye lab Spectroscopy of Food Dye Lab Introduction You’re coming off the field after a hard fought game against your rival team. You are needing a drink and you grab a blue Powerade off the managers table. The drink delivers the electrolytes needed to sustain throughout the rest of the day. Then‚ the athlete starts to think how much of his blue Powerade is actually made from the blue food dye. The food dyes have had a tremendous affect on global economics

The Chromatography of Food Dyes and determination Of the Dyes Present in M&M Candies Procedure To complete this lab‚ I first mixed the solvent solution consisting of the proper ratio of water‚ salt‚ and isopropyl alcohol in a Pyrex measuring cup. I then prepared my chromatography papers for 2 trials by drawing‚ with a pencil‚ the appropriate lines and labels. Using a toothpick‚ I added the color to the paper‚ and then repeated until the color was strong. I repeated this step several more

Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to determine the food dyes present in a selected beverage‚ their concentration‚ and then replicate the solution within a 20% margin of error. The beverage we chose was Gatorade Frost Riptide Rush. A spectrometer was used to determine which food dyes were present in the sampled beverage‚ red 40 and blue 1 were determined to be present. The next step was to determine the concentration of the dyes‚ this was done by testing the absorbance of the red 40 and blue 1

Mazarei Food Microbiology April 22‚ 2011 Purpose: To test the pH level of many common household object by use of the juice from a red cabbage. Background: pH is the measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution. The pH scale ranges from 1 to 14 with 1 through 6 being acidic and 8 through 14 being basic; 7 is considered neutral. The use of the red cabbage‚ or red cabbage juice is because red cabbage can be used as an acid/base indicator. The pH level of foods is important to food microbiology
