Hi Susanne, Martine

Acetic acid is fully absorbed and metabolized and has a heat of combustion of 787 kJ/mol. That is ~3 kcal per g. So the same as what we usually take for organic acids.

Cheers,

Paul

Subject: energy factor for acetic acid?

Dear all,

We have got a question concerning acetic acid.
In the EuroFIR thesaurus this acid is assigned to the organic acids, but with the synonym: fatty acid C2:0.
Our question is: how to deal with the energy calculation if a food, for instance vinegar, contains acetic acid. Is the amount of acetic acid multiplied by the energy factor for fat or for organic acids? Does any of you know more about the energy from acetic acid? And how did you deal with this in your food composition databases?

Kind regards,
Martine Jansen en Susanne Westenbrink
