Respiratory Quotient (RQ) value of tripalmitin is

The ratio of the volume of CO2 evolved to the volume of O2 consumed in respiration is called the respiratory quotient (RQ) or respiratory ratio.2(C51H98O6)+ 145O2→102CO2+98H2O+ energyC51H98O6 is tripalmitin. Referring to the equation given above we can calculateRQ=102 CO2145O2= 0.7
