3 Introduction Definition/Nomenclature CH Classification CH Metabolism Carbohydrates in Foods CHs = Aliphatic polyhydroxy compounds which carry a carbonyl group.

4 Carbohydrate = Carbon Hydrate i.e., C(H 2 ) or C n (H 2 ) n, or C 6 (H 2 ) 6 = C 6 H 12 6 C 2 +H 2 Sugar + 2

5 Simple Sugar Nomenclature -SE = free sugar, esp. aldose sugar -URNIC = -C (carboxyl) group at 1 o carbon -SIDE = substitution at anomeric carbon = glycoside -AN = polymer. E.g., glucan = glucose polymer Introduction to Food Science ISMERS = compounds with same chemical composition but different structures. (general term) STEREISMERS = isomers differing only in spacial arrangement of groups (e.g., - groups) ENANTIMERS = mirror image isomers (e.g., D- vs L- sugars) ANMERS = isomers differing only in position of anomeric carbon groups EPIMERS = Stereoisomers differing only in position of last asymmetric carbon groups

68 Dietary Fiber NEW DIETARY FIBER DEFINITIN - Dietary fiber is the edible parts of plants or analogous carbohydrates that are resistant to digestion and absorption in the human small intestine with complete or partial fermentation in the large intestine. Dietary fiber includes polysaccharides, oligosaccharides, lignin, and associated plant substances. Dietary fibers promote beneficial physiological effects including laxation, and/or blood cholesterol attenuation, and/or blood glucose attenuation.
