, or compounds that can be hydrolyzed to them. (aka sugars or saccharides)
Monosaccharides
– carbohydrates that cannot be hydrolyzed to simpler carbohydrates; eg. Glucose or fructose.
Disaccharides
– carbohydrates that can be hydrolyzed into two monosaccharide units; eg. Sucrose, which is hydrolyzed into glucose and fructose.
Oligosaccharides
– carbohydrates that can be hydrolyzed into a few monosaccharide units.
Polysaccharides
– carbohydrates that are are polymeric sugars; eg Starch or cellulose.Slide3
Aldose
– polyhydroxyaldehyde, eg glucose
Ketose
– polyhydroxyketone, eg fructose
Triose, tetrose, pentose, hexose
, etc. – carbohydrates that contain three, four, five, six, etc. carbons per molecule (usually five or six); eg. Aldohexose, ketopentose, etc.Slide4

lD-carbohydrates have the -OH group of the highest numbered chiral carbon pointing to the right in the Fischer projection as in R-(+)-glyceraldhydeFor carbohydrates, the convention is to arrange the Fischer
projection with the carbonyl group at the top for aldoses and closest to the top for ketoses. The carbons are numbered from top to bottom. Slide8

Carbohydrates are designated as D- or L- according to the
stereochemistry of the highest numbered chiral carbon of the
Fischer projection. If the hydroxyl group of the highest numbered
chiral carbon is pointing to the right, the sugar is designated as
D
(
Dextro
: Latin for
on the right side
). If the hydroxyl group is pointing to the left, the sugar is designated as L (Levo: Latin for on the left side). Most naturally occurring carbohydrates are of
the D-configuration. Slide9

The Complex Carbohydrates
Fiber Sources
Dietary fibers are found in plant foods.
Functional fibers are health-benefiting fibers that are added to foods or supplements.Total fiber considers both dietary and functional fibers.Resistant starches escape digestion and are found in legumes, raw potatoes and unripe bananas.
Phytic acid or phytate has a close association with fiber and binds some minerals.Slide32

Digestion and Absorption of Carbohydrates
Carbohydrate Digestion
In the mouth, the salivary enzyme amylase begins to hydrolyze starch into short polysaccharides and maltose.
In the stomach, acid continues to hydrolyze starch while fiber delays gastric emptying and provides a feeling of fullness (satiety).Slide33

Digestion and Absorption of Carbohydrates
Carbohydrate Digestion
In the small intestine, pancreatic amylase among other enzymes (maltase, sucrase, and lactase) hydrolyzes starches to disaccharides and monosaccharides.
In the large intestine, fibers remain and attract water, soften stools and ferment.Slide34

Digestion and Absorption of Carbohydrates
Carbohydrate Absorption
Primarily takes place in the small intestine
Glucose and galactose are absorbed by active transport.Fructose is absorbed by facilitated diffusion.Slide36

Fig. 4-11, p. 110
Monosaccharides, the end products of carbohydrate digestion, enter the capillaries of the intestinal villi.
In the liver, galactose and fructose are converted to glucose.
Small intestine
Monosaccharides travel to the liver via the portal vein.

Lactose Intolerance
Symptoms include bloating, abdominal discomfort, and diarrhea.
Causes include lactase deficiency due to a natural decrease that occurs with aging or damaged intestinal villi.PrevalenceLowest in Scandinavians and northern EuropeansHighest in Southeast Asians and native North AmericansSlide39

Glucose in the Body
A Preview of Carbohydrate Metabolism
The body stores glucose as glycogen in liver and muscle cells.
The body uses glucose for energy if glycogen stores are available.If glycogen stores are depleted, the body makes glucose from protein.
Gluconeogenesis is the conversion of protein to glucose.Protein-sparing action is having adequate carbohydrate in the diet to prevent the breakdown of protein for energy.Slide41

Glucose in the Body
A Preview of Carbohydrate Metabolism
Making ketone bodies from fat fragments
The accumulation of ketone bodies in the blood is called ketosis.Ketosis upsets the acid-base balance in the body.The body can use glucose to make body fat when carbohydrates are consumed excessively.Slide42

The Constancy of Blood Glucose
Maintaining Glucose Homeostasis
Low blood glucose may cause dizziness and weakness.High blood glucose may cause fatigue.Extreme fluctuations can be fatal.Slide43

Glucose in the Body
The Constancy of Blood Glucose
The Regulating Hormones
Insulin moves glucose into the cells and helps to lower blood sugar levels.Glucagon brings glucose out of storage and raises blood sugar levels.
Epinephrine acts quickly to bring glucose out of storage during times of stress.Balance glucose within the normal range by eating balanced meals regularly with adequate complex carbohydrates. Blood glucose can fall outside the normal range with hypoglycemia or diabetes.Slide44

Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is the less common type with no insulin produced by the body.Type 2 diabetes is the more common type where fat cells resist insulin.Prediabetes is blood glucose that is higher than normal but below the diagnosis of diabetes.Hypoglycemia is low blood glucose and can often be controlled by dietary changes.Slide46

Glucose in the Body
The Constancy of Blood Glucose
Glycemic response is how quickly the blood glucose rises and elicits an insulin response.
Glycemic index classifies foods according to their potential for raising blood glucose.Glycemic load refers to a food’s glycemic index and the amount of carbohydrate the food contains. The benefit of the glycemic index is controversial.Slide47

Health Effects and Recommended Intakes of Sugars
Sugar poses no major health problem except dental caries.
Excessive intakes may displace nutrients and contribute to obesity.
Consuming foods with added sugars should be limited. Naturally occurring sugars from fruits, vegetables and milk are acceptable sources.Slide49

Health Effects and Recommended Intakes of Sugars
Health Effects of Sugars
Foods with added sugars have sugars listed as a first ingredient.
Nutrient deficiencies may develop from the intake of empty kcalories. Just because a substance is natural does not mean it is nutritious. (Example: honey)Dental caries may be caused by bacteria residing in dental plaque and the length of time sugars have contact with the teeth.Slide50

Health Effects and Recommended Intakes of Sugars
Controversies Surrounding Sugars
Excessive sugar intake can contribute to the development of body fat.
Sugar may be able to alter blood lipid levels and contribute to heart disease in some.There is no scientific evidence that sugar causes misbehavior in children and criminal behavior in adults.
There is a theory that sugar increases serotonin levels, which can lead to cravings and addictions.Slide53

Health Effects and Recommended Intakes of Sugars
Recommended Intakes of Sugars
The USDA Food Guide states that added sugars can be included in the diet as part of discretionary kcalories.
Dietary Guidelines state to limit intake of foods and beverages that are high in added sugars.DRI suggest added sugars should contribute no more than 25% of a day’s total energy intake.Slide54

Health Effects and Recommended Intakes of Starch and Fibers
Health Effects of Starch and Fibers
May be some protection from heart disease and stroke
Soluble fibers bind with bile and thereby lower blood cholesterol levels.Fiber may also displace fat in the diet.
Reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by decreasing glucose absorptionEnhance the health of the GI tract which can then block the absorption of unwanted particlesMay protect against colon cancer by removing potential cancer-causing agents from the bodySlide55

RDA for carbohydrate is 130 g per day, or 45-65% of energy intake.
Daily Value is 300 grams per day.Dietary Guidelines encourage a variety of whole grains, vegetables, fruits and legumes daily.

– encourage whole grainsVegetables – starchy and nonstarchy vegetables differ in carbohydrate content
Fruits – vary in water, fiber and sugar contentMilks and Milk Products – contain carbohydrate; cheese is lowMeat and Meat Alternates – meats are low but nuts and legumes have some carbohydrate
Food labels list grams of carbohydrate, fiber and sugar; starch grams can be calculated.Slide60

Obesity
Insulin Resistance

Insulin not as effective, and does not allow glucose into cells efficiently, causing blood sugar levels to rise
There is enough insulin activity to prevent diabetic comaSlide78
