Galactose

Purpose The main purpose of this experiment to learn about the organic molecule of the substances that we use daily with the common foods. The organic molecule that we use for this lab are monosaccharides of sugar, protein, starch, lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. Introduction Carbohydrates are the organic compounds that are organized as the ring structures and always compose the carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms that represent by the structure of H2O. The carbohydrates are…

atom. They are D-glucose and L-glucose. Optical Activity - It is the rotation of plane polarized light forming (+) glucose and (-) glucose. Diastereo isomeers - It the configurational changes considered C2, C3, or C4 in glucose. Example: Mannose, galactose. Annomerism - It is the spatial configuration with respect to the first carbon atom in aldoses and second carbon atom in ketoses. Chemical Properties of Carbohydrates Ozazone formation with phenylhydrazine. Benedicts test. Oxidation…

Avocado Fruit Benefits to Get You Even More Healthy Dealing with Avocado, you may need to know some avocado fruit benefits. Because there are so many health benefits you can get from consuming avocado fruit. We all know that fruits are the best healthy food you can consume. It has its sweet distinctive taste which contains a lot of vitamins and much more other nutrition. Fruits can be consumed directly by peeling the skin. It can also be consumed in a form of juice. If you want to add healthy…

2.4. Sucrose crystal structure Crystal habit is the term used to describe the appearance and shape of a crystal (Morel du Boil 1985). The conditions during growth of the crystal influence the development and morphology of the crystal. The morphology of a crystal grown in the presence of impurities is influenced greatly at the faces of the crystal most affected by the adsorption of impurities (Morel du Boil 1985). Therefore, the presence of impurities was thought to possess the greatest…

Earlier it was believed that polyphenols, phytates, tannins and dietary fiber contents of finger millet act as anti-nutrients because of their metal chelating and enzyme inhibition activities but now it has been confirmed that these constituents can contribute to antioxidant activity, which is an important factor in resisting aging and metabolic diseases.Morevoer, finger millet is also useful in management of various physiological disorders such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, vascular…

A chemical reaction is the change of a molecule from one arrangement to another. Our whole bodies are made up of cells, which are chemical systems. To sustain life there must be chemical reactions all throughout the body (Barnhart and Hopper 2011). At what rate the reaction can occur is dependent on the activation energy. Activation energy is the amount of energy the reactant molecules must surpass for the reaction to occur (Mathew Bui et al. 2006). Temperature and catalysts are the most basic…

microscopically measuring 25 micro metre in length and 0.4 -0.8 micro metre in diameter . It is capable of self population using flagella. In vitro , it requires a temperature of 40 degree and grows in an acidic environment fermenting glucose and galactose . It produces both exotoxin and endotoxins. It causes polymerization of actin and spreads cell to cell causing cell fusion and formation of multinucleated giant cells .It is usually diagnosed using latex agglutination and rapid…

There are different forms are sugar units, for example monosaccharides are glucose, fructose, and galactose. Question 2: Blood carries glucose to different parts of the body; the brain is dependent on glucose to function properly. If sugar level is too high in the blood it can cause problems like diabetes. The pancreas secretes a hormone call insulin…

A major area where enzymes are present a lot in is the food industry. A lot of the food we eat contain enzymes. Lactase is an enzyme that a lot of people know about. It cuts lactose into its smaller sugars: galactose and glucose. When the small intestine of a human does not produce a sufficient amount of this enzyme, this condition is known as the lactose intolerant, which is when a human has discomfort in the form of cramps, gas and diarrhea when they eat/drink…

Based on my BMR, my carbohydrate intake can be as high as 399.30g because my extra physical activity requires more carbohydrates to supply glucose, which is converted to energy. I need to consume more carbohydrates such as fructose in fruits and galactose in milk. According to SuperTracker my target protein intake is 46g, and I consumed 79g. However, based on the needs of an athlete 1g/kg of protein rather than RDA of 0.8g/kg of body weight, my daily protein needed per day would be 63.64g; thus,…
