MATERIALS
DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
According to the gathered data and computations, food sample 3 which was the almonds
contains the highest energy content of food among all the sample requires the highest
temperature. Therefore, a higher energy content of food contains an oily solid or liquid substance
or simply fat – an oily or greasy matter making up the bulk of adipose tissue. For an instance,
nuts/almonds were known as high in calories. This is because a large part of an almond were fat,
which had more concentration in source of energy. Along with the experiment, an almond was
being burned and an oil boosted up or increased the capacity of the flame in order to get the
highest temperature, however, water absorbs the energy released by the food sample.
