Sucrose • Found in the following foods:
Glucose • Found in the following foods:
Maltose • Found in the following foods:
Galactose • Found in the following foods:
Lactose • Found in the following foods:
Difference Between Starch & Glycogen • Starch – storage of glucose in plants • Glycogen – storage of glucose in animals
Sweetness of Sugars • Some sugars taste more or less sweet than each other. • If the sweetness of sucrose, is arbitrarily assigned a sweetness of 100%, then here’s how other common sugars compare: • Sugar Sweetnessfructose: 173%sucrose: 100%glucose: 74%maltose: 33%galactose: 33%lactose: 16%
Proteins • Made up of amino acids - “building blocks of proteins” • Plants & animals • Need to be broken down into amino acids before our body can use them • Made into proteins to be used • Converted to energy • Stored as fat
Why Do We Need Protein? • Proteins are essential in order for our body to function correctly. • Enzymes • Transportation & Storage • Cell & Tissue Growth • Mechanical Support • Coordination & Motion • Immune Protection • Nerve Generation & Impulses • Fluid Balances Read handout describing in more detail what each of these actually mean.
Amino Acids • Non-essential amino acids – ones that can be produced in our body (12) • Essential amino acids – ones that are required in the diet but body cannot make – need to get from foods we eat
Essential Amino Acids (8) • Phenylalaline • Tryptophan • Valine • Leucine • Isoleucine • Lysine • Methionine • Arginine
Functions of Proteins in Foods • Three major functions • Color • Texture • Flavor • Influenced by whipping, beating, adding ingredients or heating
Color • Not clear – cut • Maillard Reaction – browning reaction between an amino group & carbohydrate • Proteins & sugars – most common reaction
Texture • Production of yogurt • Influenced by the gelation of casein
Flavor • Contribution to flavor not clear cut • Some may add flavor • Amino acids – contribute to bitterness, sweetness & other flavors
