  1. ALCOHOLS

  2. SUGARSAKA- CARBOHYDRATES AKA - SACCHARIDES

  3. SUGAR • Common name ends in “-ose” • Structure usually has 5 or 6 carbons with at least one “-OH”. • Does this remind you of alcohols??? 3 different ways of representing 6-(hydroxymethyl)oxane-2,3,4,5-tetrol OR also called D-glucose, Dextrose, blood sugar, or corn sugar.

  8. Examples of “complex” sugarsaka complex carbohydrates aka disaccharides

  9. Examples of “complex” sugarsaka complex carbohydrates aka polysaccharidesaka starches (EXAMPLE SHOWN: alpha-carrageenan)

  10. Simple vs. Complex Sugars/Carbohydrates/Saccharides • Both types contain four calories per gram. • Both are also digested into a blood sugar called glucose, which is then used to fuel our bodies for work or exercise. • simple carbohydrates have become known as the 'bad' carbs, while complex carbs seem to be designated as the 'good' ones. Although this is based on more hype than science, here are the reasons why:

  11. Simple vs. Complex in the body • Simple carbohydrates (sugars) are digested quickly. They contain refined sugars and few essential vitamins and minerals. Examples include fruits, fruit juice, milk, yogurt, honey, molasses and sugar. • Complex carbohydrates (sugars) take longer to digest and are usually packed with fiber, vitamins and minerals. Examples are vegetables, breads, cereals, legumes and pasta. • From: http://www.ivillage.co.uk/dietandfitness/nutrition/carbs/qas/0,,249_156580,00.html
