Questions and Answers

What is the formula for calculating the weight of edible portion (EP) of food?

  • $EP weight (g) = AP weight (g) \times Refuse weight (g)$
  • $EP weight (g) = \frac{AP weight (g)}{Refuse weight (g)}$
  • $EP weight (g) = AP weight (g) - Refuse weight (g)$ (correct)
  • $EP weight (g) = AP weight (g) + Refuse weight (g)$

In the context of food measurement, what does AP weight stand for?

  • Average Portion Weight
  • Actual Product Weight
  • Adjusted Portion Weight
  • As Purchased Weight (correct)

What does the formula $%EP = \frac{EP weight (g)}{AP weight (g)} \times 100$ represent?

  • Percentage of Cooked Weight of food
  • Percentage of Refuse in food
  • Percentage of Raw Weight of food
  • Percentage of Edible Portion of food (correct)
