Energy value of a food is measured in terms of?(a) Carbohydrates(b) Fats(c) Proteins(d) CaloriesThis question was posed to me in homework.Origin of the question is Milk Reception in division Collection and Reception of Milk of Dairy Engineering

Answer»

Correct option is (d) Calories

The best I can explain: Energy VALUE CALCULATION uses a SINGLE factor for each of the energy-yielding substrates (protein, fat, and carbohydrate), REGARDLESS of the food in which it is found. The energy VALUES are 37 kJ/g (9.0 kcal/g) for fat, 17 kJ/g (4.0 kcal/g) for protein, and 17 kJ/g (4.0 kcal/g) for carbohydrates.
