CARBOHYDRATESCARBOHYDRATES• Major source of energy for humans
• Provide 55% to 80% of calorie needs
• Form vital structure of living cells
• Three groups of carbohydrates:

• Carbohydrates are compounds composed of three elements:
CARBONCARBONOXYGENOXYGENHYDROGENHYDROGEN
• These three elements are loosely bound with water.

• Through the process of photosynthesis, plants convert energy from the sun into the most common of the carbohydrates, glucose.
• As the plant matures, it makes glucose into fiber to form the structure of the stems and leaves.
• As the plant reaches full size, it begins to transfer its energy into sugars and starches.

Tender, young kernels of corn are sweeter than mature kernels because they contain a higher
percentage of sugars.

• The simplest type of carbohydrate
• SACCHRAIDE (organic chemistry name) is the name given to all carbohydrates classified as sugars.
• It is an organic compound which means it is a sugar that contains carbon compounds

Sugars Are CarbohydratesSugars Are Carbohydrates• Carbohydrates are the foundation of our food chain.
• The energy we get from consuming carrots, broccoli, apples, bananas, potatoes milk or eggs comes from the carbohydrate the plant stores in its roots, seeds, leaves, stems fruit or animal by-products such as milk and eggs.
• All carbohydrates are made up of one or more molecules of sugars.

MonosaccharidesMonosaccharides• Examples of monosaccharides found
widely in food products are:Fructose – fruits and honeyGlucose – blood, grapes and cornMannose – eggs and some plantsGalactose – only found in animals
and humans; milkRibose – used to make DNA
(contains only 5 carbon atoms)

structure.

DisaccharidesDisaccharides• Examples of disaccharides found widely in
food products are:
Sucrose – table sugar
Maltose – malted grains
Lactose – sugar found in milk

SUCROSESUCROSE or common table sugar is a sweet white crystalline solid often used as a food additive.
Sucrose is a made up of the two simple sugars glucose and fructoseglucose and fructose which are joined together by a
chemical bond known as a glycosidic bond.

Sucrose is a disaccharide sugar.
During the digestive process the sucrose molecule is broken down into the two
monosaccharides, glucose and fructose, which can be easily absorbed through the
villi of the intestine.
Sucrose + water = hydrolysis = Glucose + Fructose

The three common disaccharides lactose, sucrose and maltose also have the same molecular formula but differ in their formula structure.

Lactose is also known as
‘milk sugar’
because it is primarily found in dairy products.

LACTOSE LACTOSE INTOLERANCEINTOLERANCE
• Genetic disorder
• Lack enzyme needed to break down lactose into glucose and galactose
• Prevents lactose from being absorbed by the body
