| Division: | Life Sciences / None | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Saskatoon | | City: | Saskatoon , SK | | School: | Greystone Heights | | Abstract: | This project was designed to determine which food, (cashews or unbuttered popcorn) contains more calories per gram. The calorific values were measured using a homemade calorimeter. Cashews showed to have more calories per gram than unbuttered popcorn (over 204 calories more). A higher concentration of lipids and a significant amount of protein existent in the cashews contributed to the higher calorific values. |
