Fat In Chips Essay

788 Words4 Pages

Fat in chips:
• First we wieghed out 10 g of crushed chips
• We then put them in a beaker
• Next we poured 50ml of pentane on it
• We mixed them with a spatula
• We then filtered the mixture through a funnel and glass wool to get rid of the chips (into a florence flask)
• Before the destillation process we measured the florence flask and the cork ring
• Through the destillation process we managed to separate the pentane and the oil
• We weighed the oil with the flask and the cork ring and subtracted the mass of the flask and cork ring to get the mass of oil
• We then recorded our results

Salt in popcorn:
• We again weighed out 10 g, but of crushed popcorn this time
• Which we put into a beaker ( which we had already weighed beforehand) …show more content…

This could of happened because we might not have pressed all the petrol out of the chips and so as a result someof the petrol might have been left in the chips. Another thing is that not exactly 10g of chips might have been weighed out.

Salt in popcorn:
The expected salt content in 10g of popcorn was said to be 0.17 and we got 0.32 g which is a bit more than the expected amount. This could of happened because a bit more than 10 g of popcorn was added, someone with sweaty hands might have added extra bodily salts to the popcorn, or not all the water was squeezed out of the popcorn.

Conclusion:
In conclusion we did experiments to find out the salt and fat content in 10g of popcorn/chips. So that we could then compare it to what the packet says to see if that is correct or not. In the end our results did not correspond with the answers on the packet. However they were not too far fetched so knowing that I can say that the answer on the packet is probably correct.

  • David Freedman's Essay 'How Junk Food Can End Obesity'

    1218 Words  | 5 Pages

    In David Freedman’s essay How Junk food Can End Obesity, Freedman makes the claim to policy arguing that instead of demonizing processed foods, Americans should instead support the idea and production of healthier processed and junk foods. He calls on the public to recognize that while many products on the market these days are labeled as “wholesome” and “healthy”, consumers should learn to become aware of the fat and calorie content in these products because many times they have the same- if not more- fat and calorie contents as that of a typical Big Mac or Whopper. In his essay, Freedman primarily places blame on the media and the wholesome food movement for the condemnation of the fast and processed food industries saying, “An enormous amount of media space has been dedicated to promoting the notion that all processed food, and only processed food, us making us sickly and overweight” (Freedman), he further expresses that this portrayal of the

  • Why Did Salt Stay Used In Food Processes?

    898 Words  | 4 Pages

    This is because the sodium content in the salt combines with the carbon dioxide gas that is emitted during the fermentation process, meaning that it tightens and strengthens the gluten structure, which the bread consists of. It is also used to bring out the more subtle and delicate flavours and aromas that bread has to offer, as well as preventing rapid oxidisation within the loaf proper, meaning that it stays fresher for longer. Salt also plays a particularly vital role in cheesemaking, as without it, the distinctive flavours and other sensory effects it has would be all but lost. During the early stages of cheesemaking, salt is an effective tool, especially when used to dry out and separate the unnecessary curds from the final product.

    Is having junk food in school really such a bad idea? Does it obtain a value that some schools lack? Junk food was provided in school, before the health program came into place, banning it from schools around the country. It was proudly served and allowed in school, and also sold for many school fundraisers. Although some people might say that junk food can be unhealthy, schools should allow, or serve, some junk food because it will make the kids want to eat school lunches more, it will bring in more money to the school, and it will give the students the calories that they need.
