Please summarize in no more than 300 words the overall purpose of the labs, generalizing the knowledge gained from these activities and how it ties into what you have learned about nutrition in this class. Do not use references in your abstract.

PART I—Lab: Chemistry of Food

The subcategories for your report should be as follows:

Introduction: For the Introduction, do not use the information provided in the introduction of your lab. Instead, use at least two different resources to explain the background information that is required to understand the major terms and concepts covered in the lab.

Methods & Materials: For the Methods & Materials, please describe the set-up of the lab and how you conducted your experiment. It is acceptable to use the word “I” in this section. Use it sparingly, though, as it is not commonly accepted in scientific papers.

Data: For the Data section, please create a table or bullet points that clearly summarizes the data you collected.

Results & Conclusions: For Results & Conclusions, please summarize the results, linking the information back to the introduction of the topics. Why did you expect the results you got, or if you did not get the results as expected, why not? Were there any possible sources of error which might have affected the results of this experiment? Identify two possible experimental errors. Provide a summary of the overall knowledge you learned on the subject in this section.
