TABLE 3.
1–5% (vol/vol) ethanol liquid diet (directions for preparing 1,000 ml).
| Ethanol % in the diet (vol/vol) |
Dry mix (g) | Maltose dextrin (g) |
Watera (ml) |
95% ethanol (ml) |
Calories from maltose dextrin (%) |
Calories from ethanol (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 133 | 77.1 | 900 | 10.5 | 30.0 | 5.5 |
| 2 | 133 | 62.9 | 910 | 21.1 | 24.5 | 11.0 |
| 3 | 133 | 48.7 | 910 | 31.6 | 18.9 | 16.6 |
