Bacterial spoilage is most likely to occur at which water activity (aw)? 0.90 0.70 0.50 0.30

.9- The correct answer is A. The water activity of a food is the ratio between the vapor pressure of the food itself, when in a completely undisturbed balance with the surrounding air media and the vapor pressure of distilled water under identical conditions. A water activity of 0.80 means the vapor pressure is 80% of that of pure water. The water activity increases with temperature. The moisture condition of a product can be measured as the equilibrium relative humidity expressed in percentage or as the water activity expressed as a decimal. The higher the water activity, the more likely the food is to spoil.

What would the nitrogen balance be for a patient with a 24-hour urinary nitrogen excretion of 14.3 grams and a protein intake of 102 grams? +16.3 grams −16.3 grams −2 grams +2 grams

The correct answer is C. Nitrogen balance formula: total protein intake (g)/6.25 g - (UUN + 4 g for insensible losses) Step 1: Convert the total protein intake to grams of nitrogen. To calculate this, divide the total protein intake of 102 g by 6.25 g of protein per gram of nitrogen. 102 g/6.25 = 16.32 g Total nitrogen intake = 16.32 g Step 2: Determine the total excretion. To calculate this, add 14.3 g of nitrogen excreted in the urine over 24 hours (UUN) + 4 g of nitrogen for insensible losses (from sweat, gastrointestinal tract) in a 24-hour period. 14.3 g + 4 g = 18.3 Total nitrogen excreted = 18.3 g Step 3: Calculate nitrogen balance. Take total nitrogen intake of 16.32 g and subtract total nitrogen excretion of 18.3 g. 16.32 g - 18.3 g = -1.98 g Nitrogen Balance rounded up = -2 g nitrogen. This patient has a negative nitrogen balance, so the dietetic practitioner will need to assess if an increase in protein intake is needed.
