What is nutrition?• Process by which the foods people eat provide the
nutrients needed to grow and stay healthy• Nutrients:– Naturally occurring chemical substances found in food
• 6 categories:– Proteins– Lipids– Vitamins– Minerals– Water– carbohydrates
![Page 4: Chemistry of Foods Chapter 3](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051202/5a4d1b747f8b9ab0599b6878/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What is nutrition?
• Kilocalories- energy (kcal)– Proteins– Fats– Carbohydrates
• Conversion:– 1 gram of protein or carbohydrate = 4 kcal– 1 gram of fat = 9 kcal

Carbohydrates
• Carbohydrates come from plants• Simple:– Different forms of sugar– Monosaccharides & disaccharides
• Complex:– Starches and dietary fiber– polysaccharides
![Page 6: Chemistry of Foods Chapter 3](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051202/5a4d1b747f8b9ab0599b6878/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Carbohydrates
• Named carbohydrates because hydrates of carbon– Composed of hydrogen and carbon– Cn(H2O)n
• Major function: provide energy• Although not essential, important in many
body functions
![Page 7: Chemistry of Foods Chapter 3](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051202/5a4d1b747f8b9ab0599b6878/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Carbohydrate Functions in Food
• Flavor enhancing & sweetening– carmelization
• Water binding• Contributes to texture• Hygroscopic nature/water absorption• Provides food for yeast• Regulates gelation of pectin dispersing
molecules of protein or starch
![Page 8: Chemistry of Foods Chapter 3](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051202/5a4d1b747f8b9ab0599b6878/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Carbohydrate Functions in Food
• Acts to subdivide shortening for creaming control crystallization
• Prevents spoilage• Delaying coagulation protein• Gives structure due to crystals• Affecting osmosis• Affecting color of fruits• Affecting texture (viscosity, structure)• Contributes flavor other than sweetness
![Page 9: Chemistry of Foods Chapter 3](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051202/5a4d1b747f8b9ab0599b6878/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Carbohydrate Functions in Food
• May have multiple functions– Example: lollipops-• Control crystallization• Gives structures • Flavor enhancer and sweetner

Monosaccharide
• 6 carbons– Hexoses– Glucose (aka dextrose), fructose, galactose
• 5 carbons– Pentoses– Ribose, deoxyribose
![Page 11: Chemistry of Foods Chapter 3](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051202/5a4d1b747f8b9ab0599b6878/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Disaccharides
• Two monosaccharides linked together– Sucrose- 1 glucose + 1 fructose– Lactose- 1 glucose + 1 galactose– Maltose- 2 glucose
• Linked together by removing water (dehydration)
• Broken by adding water back (hydrolysis)
![Page 12: Chemistry of Foods Chapter 3](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051202/5a4d1b747f8b9ab0599b6878/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Sweetness
• Not all sugars have same sweetness• Cola-type 10-12% sugars• Depends on formula (mix) • Table 3-3• Several applications in foods• Table 3-1
![Page 13: Chemistry of Foods Chapter 3](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051202/5a4d1b747f8b9ab0599b6878/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Sugars in Foods
• Color, texture, sweetness• Major role as sweetener• Honey, sorghum/molasses, maple syrup, and
selected fruit juice- sweetener substitute for cane and beet sugar
• Glucose & fructose are most soluble and enhance browning
![Page 14: Chemistry of Foods Chapter 3](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051202/5a4d1b747f8b9ab0599b6878/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Sugars in Foods
• Inversion- – Hydrolysis of sucrose into fructose and glucose
• AKA invert sugars• Need an enzyme or acid
![Page 15: Chemistry of Foods Chapter 3](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051202/5a4d1b747f8b9ab0599b6878/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Carmelization
• Process of applying heat • Sugars dehydrate and breakdown• Complex reaction but simple to do• Example: peanut brittle• Once melting point is reached sugar will
carmelize• Each sugar as its own melting point
![Page 16: Chemistry of Foods Chapter 3](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051202/5a4d1b747f8b9ab0599b6878/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Crystallization
• Can be a problem in variety of products• Example: crystallization of lactose – Make nonfat milk difficult to disperse– Make frozen desserts gritty
![Page 17: Chemistry of Foods Chapter 3](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051202/5a4d1b747f8b9ab0599b6878/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Crystallization
• Candies:• Divided into two groups-• Crystalline and noncrystalline• Crystaline: fudge, donfant, many others• Noncrystaline: caramels, brittles, taffies,
marshmallows
![Page 18: Chemistry of Foods Chapter 3](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051202/5a4d1b747f8b9ab0599b6878/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Crystallization• Rate of crystallization depends on speed at
which nuclei grow into crystals
![Page 19: Chemistry of Foods Chapter 3](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051202/5a4d1b747f8b9ab0599b6878/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Crystallization• 4 factors:• Concentration-– More concentrated = faster
• Temperature-– Higher temperature = slower
• Agitation– Mixing = faster
• Impurities-– Fats and protein
![Page 20: Chemistry of Foods Chapter 3](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051202/5a4d1b747f8b9ab0599b6878/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Polysaccharides
• Combinations of more than 2 sugars = oligosaccharides
• If very large called polysaccharides• Added to foods for a variety of reasons• Increase dietary fiber content• Thicken• Starch most common polysaccharide • “Gum” naturally occurring added to food
![Page 21: Chemistry of Foods Chapter 3](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051202/5a4d1b747f8b9ab0599b6878/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Polysaccharides-Starch
• Starch most common polysaccharide • Made of glucose units linked together• Storage form of energy for plants• Glycogen storage form of energy for animals• Starch forms granules• Vary is size and shape depending on type of
plant
![Page 22: Chemistry of Foods Chapter 3](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051202/5a4d1b747f8b9ab0599b6878/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Polysaccharides-Starch
• Two- types:• Amylose and amylopectin• Amylose = 20-30% of most native starches– Some starches only contain amylopectin• Example: cornstarch
![Page 23: Chemistry of Foods Chapter 3](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051202/5a4d1b747f8b9ab0599b6878/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Polysaccharides-Starch
• Amylose contributes to gel formation• Reversible up to between 140˚F – 158˚F
• Temperature affects gelatinization (irreversible swelling)• Starts between 140˚F – 158˚F
• Increase in water absorption• Gelatinization range– Temp. in which all granules are fully swollen
