Data Sheet-Act No. 14 Measurement of Energy

This document appears to be a lab report template for measuring the energy content of peanut, peanut shell, and corn grain samples. It includes spaces to record the initial and final temperatures, temperature difference, amount of water used, calories produced, and calories per gram for each substance tested. There are also question prompts asking about the chemical composition of each substance and which produced the highest and lowest energy, along with space to show computations for calories and calories per gram.

Question Guide:
1. What is the chemical composition of peanut, peanut shell and corn grain?
Peanut:
Peanuts are a good source of nutrients due to their high lipids, protein, and fiber levels, as
well as their carbohydrate, vitamin, and mineral content. The approximate composition of
peanut kernels was estimated to be 5%–10% moisture, 44%–56% fat, 22%–34% protein,
and 6%–24% carbohydrate in 1973 [39], and has been revised by subsequent studies
owing to advancements in analytical methods.
Peanut shell:
Peanut shells consist of cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin microfibrils, which are
together referred to as macrofibrils. The chemical composition of peanut shell fiber was
determined to be 35.7% cellulose, 18.7% hemicelluloses, 30.2% lignin, and ash content
(5.9%)
Corn grain:
It is mostly made of starch, accounting for 62% of its weight. Additionally, the corn
kernel contains protein and fiber (19%), water (15%), and oil (4 percent ). Moreover, it
may include traces of additional ingredients, although they are insignificant in
comparison to the primary components.
2. Which of the three samples gave the highest energy? The lowest energy? Why?
