  1. SUGARS SIMPLE CARBOHYDRATES

  2. WHY do I need to understand the FUNCTIONS of CARBOHYDRATES? • Most food mixtures contain carbohydrates so it is vital to understand how they work in the field of Food Science.

  3. CARBOHYDRATES • Major source of energy for humans • Provide 55% to 80% of calorie needs • Form vital structure of living cells • Three groups of carbohydrates:Sugars Starches Fibers

  4. CARBOHYDRATEPRODUCTION • Carbohydrates are compounds composed of three elements: CARBON OXYGEN HYDROGEN • These three elements are loosely bound with water.

  5. CARBOHYDRATEPRODUCTION continued…. • 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.

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

  7. PHOTOSYNTHESISEQUATION 6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight C6H12O6 + 6O2

  8. What is SUGAR? • 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

  9. Sugars 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.

  10. The family of sugars includes: • Monosaccharidescontain one basic molecule • Disaccharidestwo monosaccharides joined together

  11. In organic chemistry names of saccharides end in ose

  12. Monosaccharides • Examples of monosaccharides found widely in food products are: Fructose – fruits and honey Glucose – blood, grapes and corn Mannose – eggs and some plants Galactose – only found in animals and humans; milk Ribose – used to make DNA(contains only 5 carbon atoms)

  13. Monosaccharides • All monosaccharides contain:

  14. The monosaccharides glucose, galactose and fructose all have the same molecular formula but they vary in their molecular structure.

  15. GLUCOSE The most abundant of the sugars People’s basic energy source The body converts all sugars & starches into glucose before using it for energy CHEMICAL FORMULAC2H12O6

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

  17. SUCROSE 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 fructose which are joined together by a chemical bond known as a glycosidic bond.

  18. 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

  19. Where do we get Sucrose ? Sugar Beet Sugar Cane AND commonly calledTable Sugar

  20. SUGAR VIDEO View the 8:36 minute video (53.5 MB) containing information on sugar including:How is sugar is grown? How is sugar is harvested? How is sugar processed? Web Site is http://www.sugar.org/

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

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

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