Classification of carbs
|
-simple sugars
-complex sugars |
|
|
Monosaccarides
|
-glucose
-fructose -galactose |
|
|
Glucose, the most common sugar in foods
|
-circulates blood
-stored in muscles and liver (small amounts) -Primary fuel source for the body -Preffered fuel source for the brain and nervos system |
|
|
Fructose
|
-metabolized to glucose in the liver
-sweetest monosaccaride -found in fruit, honey, and high fructose corn syrup |
|
|
Galactose
|
-a part of the dissacharide lactose (milk sugar)
-converted to glucose in the liver |
|
|
DIsaccarides
|
-Sucrose = Glucose + Fructose
-Lactose = Glucose + Galactose -Maltose = Glucose + Glucose |
|
|
Complex Carbohydrates
|
-Oligosaccharides: few glucose unit
-Polysaccharides: Starch & Glycogen Dietary fiber |
|
|
Oligosaccharides
|
-Beans and Legumes
-Not digested -Metabolize by bacteria in large intestine |
|
|
Polysaccharides: Starch
|
-3,000 or more monosaccharides bound together (repeating units of GLUCOSE)
-Classification of Starch -Amylose--straight chain polymer -Amylopectin--highly branched polymer |
|
|
Dietary Fiber
|
Insoluble fiber
-Digestive system -VegetableCannot be digested and absorbed by humans s, wheat, whole grains, bran Soluble fiber---- heart health -Fruit, vegetable, beans, rice bran, oats |
