Chapter 2:M�thodes of calculation

 

During the development of the mode for a child PCU, it is significant to be very rigorous in calculations.
I propose here 3 methods of calculation to you to answer 3 cases of figures which you could meet.


1st type of calculation:

Calculation of the quantity of Phenylalanine in a ration of weighed products

calcul

Example:
You wish to use carrots.
In the tables you find the values following: carrot 100g = 31 Mg of Phe
You have to weigh 220 G of carrots and you wish to know how much there is Phenylalanine in this ration.
Calculation has to carry out is the following:

calcul



2nd type of calculation:
Calculation of the quantity of product to be weighed for a quantity of fixed Phenylalanine

calcul

Example:
You wish to obtain 60 phenylalanine Mg with carrots.
In the tables you find the values following: carrot 100g = 31 Mg of Phe
You wish to know how much carrots you must weigh.
Calculation has to carry out is the following:

calcul



3rd type of calculation:
Calculation of the quantity of Phenylalanine in a product commercial

One can without problem calculate the quantity of Phenylalanine of a product commercial. For that, it is necessary to know: its constitution and quantity of proteins contained in this product.
According to what it will contain, one will carry out following calculations:

  • If it contains only vegetables or fruits: Protein rate X 3.5%
  • If it contains only cereals: Protein rate X 4.5%
  • If it contains only dairy products, chocolate or others: Protein rate X 5.1%

Example:
You buy a packet soup in a store
On packing you find the indications following:

Ingredients:
Potato, carrots, emulsifier, skimmed milk powder, spice, flour, salt, onion.
Constitution:
Proteins: 0.75 G for 100g of product

You wish to know how much phenylalanine there is in 100g of product.
Like there is skimmed milk, one considers that it is about a dairy product. One will thus count to 5.1%
Calculation has to carry out is the following:

calcul


You refer then to calculations 1 or 2.
