What is the formula for calculating the weight of edible portion (EP) of food?
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)
- $EP weight (g) = AP weight (g) + Refuse weight (g)$
