87cult studies have been performed, <strong>and</strong> only a limited range <strong>of</strong>activities can be studied under these confined conditions.Indirect calorimetry is a means <strong>of</strong> estimating energy expenditureindirectly, rather than by direct measurement <strong>of</strong> heat production.Two methods are in use:(1) Measurement <strong>of</strong> the rate <strong>of</strong> oxygen consumption, using aspirometer; permits calculation <strong>of</strong> energy expenditure. Moststudies <strong>of</strong> the energy cost <strong>of</strong> activities have been performedby this method.(2) Estimation <strong>of</strong> the total production <strong>of</strong> carbon dioxide over aperiod <strong>of</strong> 7–10 days, after consumption <strong>of</strong> dual isotopicallylabelled water (i.e. water labelled with both 2 H <strong>and</strong> 18 O, seedouble-labelled water).caltrops See water chestnut.Camembert French s<strong>of</strong>t cheese made from cows’ milk, originatingfrom Auge in Norm<strong>and</strong>y.

Alsoknown as cold preservation, since it replaces heat sterilisation.Campden tablets Tablets <strong>of</strong> sodium bisulphite (E-222), used forsterilisation <strong>of</strong> bottles <strong>and</strong> other containers <strong>and</strong> in the preservation<strong>of</strong> <strong>food</strong>s.Campylobacter A genus <strong>of</strong> pathogenic organisms which are themost commonly reported cause <strong>of</strong> gastroenteritis in UK,although it is not known what proportion <strong>of</strong> cases are <strong>food</strong>borne.Campylobacteriosis has been associated with the consumption <strong>of</strong>undercooked meats, milk that has been inadequately pasteurisedor contaminated by birds, <strong>and</strong> contaminated water. C. jejuni(C. coli, TX 4.1.2.1) invades intestinal epithelial cells. Infective
