Conversion factors for the energy value of basic food
substances of food products
1. The energy value to be declared is calculated using the following conversion factors:
| Basic nutrients of food products | Conversion factors |
|---|---|
| Protein | 4 kcal/g - 17 kJ/g |
| Carbohydrates, including mono- and disaccharides (excluding polyols) | 4 kcal/g - 17 kJ/g |
| Polyols (excluding erythritol) | 2,4 kcal/g – 10 kJ/g |
| Erythritol | 0 |
| Жиры, жирные кислоты | 9 kcal/g – 37 kJ/g |
| Органические кислоты | 3 kcal/g – 13 kJ/g |
| Салатрим | 6 kcal/g – 25 kJ/g |
| Этанол | 7 kcal/g – 29 kJ/g |
| Пищевые волокна | 2 kcal/g – 8 kJ/g |

| — polyols, | 10 kJ/g — 2,4 kcal/g |
| — protein, | 17 kJ/g — 4 kcal/g |
| — fat, | 37 kJ/g — 9 kcal/g |
| — salatrims, | 25 kJ/g — 6 kcal/g |
| — alcohol (ethanol), | 29 kJ/g — 7 kcal/g |
| — organic acid, | 13 kJ/g — 3 kcal/g |
| — fibre, | 8 kJ/g — 2 kcal/g |
| — erythritol. | 0 kJ/g — 0 kcal/g |
