Heat of combustion

Japanese: 燃焼熱
Heat of combustion
Also called the combustion value. The amount of heat released when a substance is burned in the presence of sufficient oxygen. In the body, compared to the heat released when a substance is burned under high pressure oxygen, combustion is not complete and substances that contain some of their energy are excreted in feces and urine, so the heat of combustion of these substances is subtracted to determine the physiological fuel value of a food.
