  1. CHEM 1003THE CHEMISTRY OF FOOD, HEALTH AND DRUGSMidterm review Questions

  2. Calorie counting • A handful of peanuts contains ~15 grams of carb., 4 grams of protein and 8 grams of fat. While watching the Stanley Cup final, you consume 10 handfuls of peanuts, and 1.0 liter (~3 cans) of Labatts “Blue light” (4% alcohol). Assuming all of the calories in the beer come from alcohol, what is your total caloric intake? • Assume the density of beer is 1 gram/cm3.

  3. Quite a few!! • Cheering hard will help burn some off!

  4. Bring your calculator to the midterm • Recall, carbs and protein are 4 Cal/gram, fat is 9 Cal/gram and alcohol is 7 Cal/gram. • From the peanuts: each handful (15+4)x 4=76Cal from carbs and protein. From fat 8x9=72Cal. • So 76+72=148 per handful x10= 1480 Cal • From the beer, # grams of alcohol in 1 L= .04 x 1000=40, so Calories from alcohol =7X40=280 • Total caloric intake= 1480 +280= 1760Calories!

  5. Having consumed alcohol, you decide to walk home (wise move!) • Assuming you work off 200 Cal per hour walking and it takes you 30 minutes to walk home, what% of your intake have you burned off?

  6. Not so much!!!!!!! Fraction burned off =100/1760 or .057 % burned off =.057 x100=5.7%

  23. The chemical with the longest history of use as a preservative is • Sodium nitrate • Ascorbic acid • Sodium iodide • Sucrose • Sodium chloride

  24. Nitrites added to processed meats present a specific risk of • Botulism • Goiter • Kidney failure • Cancer • Cardiovascular disease

  25. Sucralose is • An aspartame derivative • A source 4 Cal per gram • A monosaccharide • An enzyme that permits metabolism of sucrose • Trichlorosucrose

  26. A compound whose name ends in –ase is usually • A protein • A carbohydrate • An enzyme • An essential amino acid • A trace mineral

  36. Question #2 • For a healthy adult, basal metabolism amounts to: • about half the daily calorie expenditure • twice the amount of energy spent in daily exercise • about one Calorie per kilogram of body weight per hour • 3500 Calories per day • about 10% of the calories provided by the food eaten at a meal
