Sugar Standard Curve II (Lab Session): Calculating %Sugar from Nutrition Facts Introduction Overview Finding the %sugar of Your Standards Calculating Standard Densities Finding the %Sugar of Your Beverage Using Excel to analyze experimental results Calculating %Sugar from Nutrition Facts Summary PASADENA CITY COLLEGE Sugar Standard Curve II (Lab Session) Calculating %Sugar from Nutrition Facts After calculating your percent sugar using your experimental results, you will want to compare it to the value on the nutrition facts. Recall that % sugar = (g sugar / mL volume) x 100 This means we can use the g sugar in a serving and the mL of beverage per serving to calculate the %sugar. Let's Practice! Take a second to practice these calculations. Use the nutrition facts in the image to calculate the percent sugar in the beverage. %sugar = [%] Nutrition Facts Serving size 1 can (355ml) Amount Per Serving Calories 140 % Daily Value* Total Fat 0g 0% Sodium 45mg 2% Total Carbohydrate 39g 14% Total Sugars 39g Includes 39g Added Sugars 78% Protein 0g *The % Daily Value (DV) tells you how much a nutrient in a serving of food contributes to a daily diet. 2,000 calories a day is used for general nutrition advice. What is the percent error of the nutrition facts value if your value (which we're assuming is the "true" one) is 6.4%? %error = [%] SUBMIT

The following table gives information on the amount of sugar (in grams) and the calorie count in one serving of a sample of 13 varieties of Kellogg's cereal. Sugar (grams) 4 15 12 11 8 6 7 2 5 14 20 3 13 Calories 100 200 120 110 100 80 170 100 120 190 190 110 120 The predictive regression equation of the number of calories on the amount of sugar is yĢ = 81.858 + 5.382x, where x is the amount of sugar (in grams) and y is the calories. Estimate the calorie count for cereal with 59 grams of sugar per serving. Round your answer to the nearest integer. Comment on this finding: Much confidence should be placed in this estimate. Little confidence should be placed in this estimate.

MATCH notions to the specific Nutritive or Alternative Sweetener Sugar Alcohols Brown Sugar Aspartame Saccharin Sucralose Stevia Table Sugar High Fructose Corn Syrup Honey 1. Nutritive Sweetener made from corn starch that has been enzymatically converted to contain higher amounts of fructose. 2. Alternative sweetener, often used in baking, that is made by adding 3 chlorine molecules to sucrose. It cannot not be digested and absorbed 3. Nutritive Sweetener from plant nectar that has been converted by bee enzymes. 4. Alternative sweetener made from two amino acids and methanol that is not heat stable. 5. Nutritive Sweetener with a chemical structure that resembles sugar and alcohol and releases about 2.6 kilocalories per gram. 6. Nutritive Sweetener made from sugar cane or sugar beets. 7. Alternative sweetener made from a South American Plant that is Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) 8. Sucrose that contains molasses not removed during processing. 9.
