1) Predict the specific heat for a model food with the following composition at 10°C;
Carbohydrate 50%, protein 15%, fat 5%, ash 5%, moisture 25%

=1.424Xh + 1.549Xp+ 1.675Xf+ 0.837Xa+4.187Xw

= (1.424 x 0.5) + (1.549 x 0.15) + (1.675x 0.05) + (0.837 x 0.05) + (4.187 x 0.25)
o
= 2.12 kJ / (kg C)

2) Please complete the Excel File for thermal conductivity determination.
