It is the entrenchment…

The structure and function of carbohydrates (25 Marks) Carbohydrates are made from Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H) and Oxygen (O). A monosaccharide is the monomer sub unit of carbohydrates and can be joined together through a condensation reaction to form a glycosidic bond between the two monomers which is known as a disaccharide. The above diagram shows a condensation reaction taking place. There is a reaction between two monomer sub units, in this case α-glucose and ethanol, which involves the…

are often confused about the difference between non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) and nutritive sweeteners (NS). Since NNS is intensely sweet compared to NS, it contains zero calories because little is needed to make a product sweet. For example, saccharin is a NNS and is about 20,000-70,000 times sweeter than sucrose, white sugar. NS contain carbohydrates and calories, which provides energy, and are found in fruits, dairy, and vegetables. NNS do not have the same functions as NS. NS can cause…

people eat more food at a sitting if the food is higher palatability than if it is lower palatability. This is true even if palatability is manipulated using substances that have little or no impact on the nutritional quality of the food, including saccharin (sweet), monosodium glutamate (savory) and herbs/spices. Furthermore according to Cooper (2015): The reasons why we crave for junk food: (1) food pleasure is something that we get from a combination of caloric stimulation by micronutrients…
