Composition of Carbohydrates
Single Sugar Unit –Glucose
Combine Sugar –Starch
Fiber is Carbohydrate –Not provide Energy
Can not digested by Human
It is Known as Cellulose and Roughage
Pectin -Fruits –Jam.

Monosaccharide
One Sugar Unit
Important Single Sugar are Glucose, Fructose,
Galactose
Glucose (Dextrose):
Give Energy for body Activity
It is primary Fuel of Cell
It usually not found in Diet (Corn Syrup)
Produce from Starch.

Monosaccharide
Fructose:
Fruit, Honey
Sweetest of Simple Sugar
Soft drink, Ready to use Cereals, Desserts
Galactose:
Milk Sugar

Characteristics of Monosaccharide
Are Simple Single Sugar
Which require no Digestion
Quickly absorbed from Intestine to
Blood and carried to the Liver
In Liver Converted into Glycogen and
stored.

Disaccharide
Are Simple Double Sugar
Which Link with two Single Sugar
Important Disaccharides are Sucrose,
Lactose &Maltose
Sucrose = Glucose + Fructose
e.g. Sugar, Brown Sugar
Sugarcane, Sugar beet.

Disaccharide
Lactose= Glucose + Galactose
e.g. Milk Sugar
Lactose is less soluble
Less Sweet than Sucrose
Maltose = Glucose + Glcose
Starch => Maltose => Glucose
Sugar alcohols such Sorbitol
Used in Candies, Beverages.

Polysaccharide
Starch = (Glucose)n
e.g. Cereals, Legumes, Tubers
Glycogen= (Glucose)n
Animal Food
Stored in Liver & Muscles
Fiber :
Plant food –Vegetable, Fruits,Grains
Not digested by Human
e.g. Cellulose, Hemicellulose, Pectins, Gums,
Lignin.

Complex -Polysaccharides
Starches –Large molecule
of glucose
Requires longer to digest
Glucose available slower
Ex: Cereal grains, corn,
peas, potatoes, squash,
legumes

Action of Fiber in the Body
Insoluble Fiber
•Accelerate GI Transit
•Increase Fecal Weight
•Promotes bowel
movement
•Slow Starch
Hydrolysis
•Delays Glucose
Absorption.
Soluble Fiber
•Delays GI Transit
•Lowers blood
Cholesterols
•Delays Glucose
absorption.

Caloric Value of Carbohydrates
4 kcal/ gm
Energy needed for Physical Activity, Work of cell,
Brain Function
40% of Total energy should from Carbohydrate
India 60-80 % energy from Carbohydrate
In Developed Country 30-40 % energy from
Carbohydrate

Function of Carbohydrates
Energy Supply
Brain, Cell
Spare Proteins
Synthesis of Substances
Non-essential Amino acids
Glycoproteins
Glycolipids
Promote complete lipid metabolism
Provide Bulk Fiber in the Diet.

Function of Carbohydrates
Energy Supply for body function
Essential for the Oxidation of Fats
Proteins sparing action
Provide Carbon for synthesis of Non-essential Amino acids
Are present in some tissue Constituents
Add flavour to Diet
Nucleic acid of Connective tissue Matrix, Galactosides of
Nerve Tissue
Necessary for proper functioning of CNS
Adequate hepatic Glycogen Storage enhances normal liver
detoxification ability.

Malnutrition of Carbohydrate
Deficiency :
Low body weight
Accumulation of large amount of ketone
bodies in the body
Overconsumption :
•Increase dental caries
•Cause Obesity
•Large amount of sugar –Gastric ulcer
•Depress appetite –Soft Drink
•Increase blood Triglyceride –Lead to Heart
Disease.
