Using the information below, determine the amount of food energy
(kJ) of 72.53 g of hamburger if it contains 39.00% fat, 26.00%
protein, 22.00% carbohydrates.
Species
Fuel value, kJ/g
Carbohydrate 17.00
Fat 38.00
Protein 17.00
Fuel value, kJ/g
Carbohydrate 17.00
Fat 38.00
Protein 17.00
First calculate the amount of fat, protein and carbohydrate in 72.53 g of hamburger:
Fat = 39.00% 72.53 g= 28.29 g
Protein = 26.00% 72.53 g= 18.86 g
Carbohydrate = 22.00% 72.53 g= 15.96 g
Then calculate the amount of food energy (kJ) as follows:
Fat = 28.29 g * 38.00 KJ/ g
= 1075.02 KJ
Protein = 18.86 g * 17.00 KJ/ g
= 320.62 KJ
Carbohydrate = 15.96 g * 17.00 KJ/ g
= 271.32 KJ
Total food energy (kJ)= 1075.02+ 320.62 +271.32] KJ
=1666.96 KJ
