in the tissues as fat.

10. Carbohydrates are grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes and sugar.

11. Carbohydrate
Carbohydrate, class of naturally occurring carbonyl compounds (aldehydes or ketones) that
also contain several hydroxyl groups. It may also include their derivatives which produce such
compounds on hydrolysis. They are the most abundant organic molecules in nature and also
referred to as “saccharides”.
The carbohydrates which are soluble in water and sweet in taste are called as “sugars”.

13. Introduction
Carbohydrates are one of the three main classes of foods and a source of energy.
Carbohydrates are mainly sugars and starches that the body breaks down into glucose
(a simple sugar that the body can use to feed its cells).
Carbohydrates are probably the most abundant and widespread organic substances in nature,
and they are essential constituents of all living things. Carbohydrates are formed by
green plants from carbon dioxide and water during the process of photosynthesis.
Carbohydrates serve as energy sources and as essential structural components in organisms; in
addition, part of the structure of nucleic acids, which contain genetic information, consists of
carbohydrate.

14. Carbohydrate
Composition
A carbohydrate is a biomolecule consisting of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O)
atoms, usually with a hydrogen–oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water) and thus with
the empirical formula Cm(H2O)n
.

15. Structural Representation of Carbohydrates
The carbohydrates can be structurally represented in any of the three forms:
1.Open chain structure.
It is the long straight-chain form of carbohydrates.
2.Hemi-acetal structure.
Here the 1st carbon of the glucose condenses with the -OH group of the 5th carbon to form a ring
structure.
3.Haworth structure.
It is the presence of the pyranose ring structure

16. Properties of Carbohydrates
1.Physical Properties of Carbohydrates
a. Stereoisomerism – Compound sharing the same structural formula but they differ in spatial
configuration. Example: Glucose has two isomers with respect to the penultimate carbon atom.
They are D-glucose and L-glucose.
b. Optical Activity – It is the rotation of plane-polarized light forming (+) glucose and (-) glucose.
c. Diastereo isomers – It the configurational changes with regard to C2, C3, or C4 in glucose.
Example: Mannose, galactose.
d. Annomerism – It is the spatial configuration with respect to the first carbon atom in aldoses and
second carbon atom in ketoses.

17. 2.Chemical Properties of Carbohydrates
a.Osazone formation: Osazone are carbohydrate derivatives when sugars are reacted with an excess
of phenylhydrazine. eg. Glucosazone
b.Benedict’s test: Reducing sugars when heated in the presence of an alkali gets converted to
powerful reducing species known as enediols. When Benedict’s reagent solution and reducing sugars
are heated together, the solution changes its color to orange-red/ brick red.
c.Oxidation: Monosaccharides are reducing sugars if their carbonyl groups oxidize to give carboxylic
acids. In Benedict’s test, D-glucose is oxidized to D-gluconic acid thus, glucose is considered a
reducing sugar.
d.Reduction to alcohols: The C=O groups in open-chain forms of carbohydrates can be reduced to
alcohols by sodium borohydride, NaBH4, or catalytic hydrogenation (H2, Ni, EtOH/H2O). The
products are known as “alditols”.

19. Simple Carbohydrates
Simple carbohydrates are quick energy sources. They come from sugar. They do not usually
supply any other nutrients or fiber.

20. Simple Sugars
Glucose or blood sugar is the basic source of energy for all living things.
Sucrose or table sugar is made from sugar beets or sugar cane.
Fructose is sugar found in fruit, honey and vegetables.
Maltose is grain starch broken down into sugar.
Lactose is milk sugar.

21. Complex Carbohydrates
Complex carbohydrates supply longer lasting energy, as well as other nutrients and fiber that the
body needs. They are a better choice.

22. Complex Carbohydrates
Complex carbohydrates come from starchy foods such as whole grains, flour, seeds, nuts,
vegetables and fruits.

23. Although a number of classification schemes have been devised for carbohydrates, the
division into four major groups—
1.Monosaccharides,
2.Disaccharides,
3.Oligosaccharides, and
4.Polysaccharides.
Classification of Carbohydrates

24. Monosaccharide
 One Sugar Unit
 Important Single Sugar are Glucose, Fructose, Galactose
Glucose (Dextrose):
Give Energy for body Activity
It is primary Fuel of Cell
It usually not found in Diet (Corn Syrup)
Produce from Starch.

25. Monosaccharide
Fructose:
Fruit, Honey
Sweetest of Simple Sugar
Soft drink, Ready to use Cereals, Desserts
Galactose:
Milk Sugar

26. Monosaccharides
Monosaccharides
The building blocks of all simplest group carbohydrates are simple sugars called monosaccharides
since they cannot be further hydrolyzed . A monosaccharide can be a polyhydroxy aldehyde (aldose)
or a polyhydroxy ketone (ketose). Colorless, crystalline solid which are soluble in water and
insoluble in a non-polar solvent. These are compound which possesses a free aldehyde or ketone
group. Most monosaccharides, or simple sugars, are found in grapes, other fruits, and honey.
Although they can contain from three to nine carbon atoms, the most common representatives
consist of five or six joined together to form a chainlike molecule. Three of the most important
simple sugars—glucose(also known as dextrose, grape sugar, and corn sugar), fructose (fruit sugar),
and galactose—have the same molecular formula, (C6H12O6), but, because their atoms have different
structural arrangements, the sugars have different characteristics; i.e., they are isomers.

27. The general formula is Cn(H2O) nor CnH2nOn. These are compound which possesses a free
aldehyde or ketone group.
They are classified according to the number of carbon atoms they contain and also on the basis
of the functional group present.The monosaccharides thus with 3,4,5,6,7… carbons are called
trioses, tetroses, pentoses, hexoses, heptoses, etc., and also as aldoses or ketoses depending upon
whether they contain aldehyde or ketone group.
Examples: Glucose, Fructose, Erythrulose, Ribulose.
Monosaccharides

28. Properties of Monosaccharides
Most monosaccharides have a sweet taste (fructose is sweetest; 73% sweeter than sucrose).
They are solids at room temperature.
They are extremely soluble in water: – Despite their high molecular weights, the presence of
large numbers of OH groups make the monosaccharides much more water-soluble than most
molecules of similar MW.
Glucose can dissolve in minute amounts of water to make a syrup (1 g / 1 ml H2O).
Monosaccharides

29.  Are Simple Single Sugar
 Which require no Digestion
 Quickly absorbed from Intestine to Blood and carried to the Liver
 In Liver Converted into Glycogen and stored.
Characteristics of Monosaccharide

30. Disaccharide
 Are Simple Double Sugar
 Which Link with two Single Sugar
 Important Disaccharides are Sucrose, Lactose &Maltose
Sucrose = Glucose + Fructose
e.g. Sugar, Brown Sugar Sugarcane, Sugar beet.

31. Disaccharide
Lactose = Glucose + Galactose
e.g. Milk Sugar Lactose is less soluble
Less Sweet than Sucrose
Maltose = Glucose + Glcose Starch => Maltose => Glucose
Sugar alcohols such Sorbitol Used in Candies, Beverages.

32. Disaccharides
Disaccharides
Two molecules of a simple sugar that are linked to each other form a disaccharide, or double
sugar. The disaccharide sucrose, or table sugar, consists of one molecule of glucose and one
molecule of fructose; the most familiar sources of sucrose are sugar beets and cane sugar. Milk
sugar, or lactose, and maltose are also disaccharides. Before the energy in disaccharides can be
utilized by living things, the molecules must be broken down into their respective
monosaccharides.

33. Oligosaccharides
Oligosaccharides
Oligosaccharides are compound sugars that yield 2 to 10 molecules of the same or different
monosaccharides on hydrolysis are rather infrequently found in natural sources, although a few
plant derivatives have been identified. .The monosaccharide units are joined by glycosidic
linkage.
Based on the number of monosaccharide units, it is further classified as disaccharide,
trisaccharide, tetrasaccharide etc.

34. Oligosaccharides yielding 2 molecules of monosaccharides on hydrolysis is known as a disaccharide, and
the ones yielding 3 or 4 monosaccharides are known as trisaccharides and tetrasaccharides respectively and
so on.
The general formula of disaccharides is Cn(H2O)n-1and that of trisaccharides is Cn(H2O)n-2 and so on.
Examples: Disaccharides include sucrose, lactose, maltose, etc.
Oligosaccharides

35. Polysaccharides(the term means many sugars)
Polysaccharides(the term means many sugars)
They are also called as “glycans”. Polysaccharides represent most of the structural and
energy-reserve carbohydrates found in nature. Large molecules that may consist of as many
as 10,000 monosaccharide on hydrolysis & these units are linked together, polysaccharides
vary considerably in size, in structural complexity, and in sugar content. Polysaccharides
differ from each other in the identity of their recurring monosaccharide units, in the length of
their chains, in the types of bond linking units and in the degree of branching.

36. Cellulose, the principal structural component of plants, is a complex polysaccharide
comprising many glucose units linked together; it is the most common polysaccharide. The starch
found in plants and the glycogen found in animals also are complex glucose polysaccharides.
Starch (from the Old English word stercan, meaning “to stiffen”) is found mostly in seeds, roots,
and stems, where it is stored as an available energy source for plants. Plant starch may be processed
into foods such as bread, or it may be consumed directly—as in potatoes, for instance. Glycogen,
which consists of branching chains of glucose molecules, is formed in the liver and muscles of
higher animals and is stored as an energy source.
They are primarily concerned with two important functions ie.
1. Structural functions
2. The storage of energy.

40. Digestion and absorption of carbohydrates
Digestion and absorption of carbohydrates
The digestion of carbohydrates begins in the mouth by Ptyalin (amylase) produced by the salivary
glands. No carbohydrate digestion takes place in the stomach. Digestion occurs mainly in the small
intestine through the action of pancreatic and intestinal juices: ƒ
Amylase ƒ
Lactase ƒ
Sucrase ƒ
Maltase
Dextrin is degradation products of starch in which the glucose chains have been broken down to
smaller units by partial hydrolysis. ƒ Dextran is a carbohydrate polymer obtained from bacterial cell
wall. This has no part in dietetics but is used in medicine as plasma expander.

48. Absorption

49. Metabolism
Glucose in the Body
Used for energy – fuels most of the body’s cells
Stored as glycogen – 1/3 in the liver and 2/3 in muscles
Made from protein – gluconeogenesis
Converted to fat – when in excess of body’s needs

50. Constancy of Blood Glucose
Regulating hormones – maintain glucose homeostasis
1. Insulin – moves glucose from the blood into cells
2. Glucagon – signals the liver to release glucose into the blood
3. Epinephrine – released when emergency fuel needed

51. Maintaining Blood Glucose Homeostasis

52. Absorption
Carbohydrates are absorbed from small intestine mainly as monosaccharides, namely glucose,
galactose & fructose. Through sodium co-transport mechanism glucose and galactose are
absorbed into portal blood.
Fructose absorption takes place through the epithelium of intestine which is facilitated by
diffusion.
glucose, galactose & fructose absorbed in the intestines pass through the portal circulation to
the liver. In liver galactose ,fructose and some part of glucose into glycogen. A part of glucose
passess into the general circulation & to the various tissues for being oxidized and used as
energy. Some part of glucose is stored in liver & muscles and some portion converted to fat
which is stored in adipose tissues. This oxidation occurs in 2 stages ie Glycolysis and a series
of reaction of Kreb Cycle

53. In Health and with normal diet, the available carbohydrate is digested and absorbed completely in
the small intestine. If an excess of unabsorbed carbohydrate arise due to a disorder of the
absorption mechanisms or occasionally to excessive intake, the osmotic pressure (effects) leads to
retention of fluids in the lumen and as the result there will be watery diarrhoea. This diarrhoea is
known as osmotic diarrhoea. The tissues use as fuel a mixture of glucose and fatty acids. But the
brain normally uses only glucose and requires around 80g daily. In starvation glucose may be
provided by gluconeogenesis from the amino acids in tissues proteins, mainly from muscle
proteins, but fats cannot be converted into glucose. With prolonged starvation the brain adapts
and can then utilize fatty acids and ketone.
Absorption

54. The two hormones, which control the metabolisms of carbohydrates, are insulin and glucagons
ƒ Insulin is secreted by the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans and the secretion is stimulated
by: – Hyperglycemias – Parasympathetic nervous activity Function of insulin To facilitate
glucose transport to the liver and muscle cells To facilitate formation of glycogen in the liver
and muscle cells To incorporate formation of protein from the amino acids.
Absorption

55. Functions
Functions
Carbohydrates are widely distributed molecules in plant and animal tissues. In plants and
arthropods, carbohydrates from the skeletal structures, they also serve as food reserves in plants
and animals. They are important energy source required for various metabolic activities, the
energy is derived by oxidation.

56. Functions
Some of their major functions include:
1. Living organisms use carbohydrates as accessible energy to fuel cellular reactions. They are the
most abundant dietary source of energy (4kcal/gram) for all living beings.
2. Carbohydrates along with being the chief energy source, in many animals, are instant sources
of energy. Glucose is broken down by glycolysis/ Kreb’s cycle to yield ATP.
3. Serve as energy stores, fuels, and metabolic intermediates. It is stored as glycogen in animals
and starch in plants.
4. Stored carbohydrates act as an energy source instead of proteins.
5. They form structural and protective components, like in the cell wall of plants and
microorganisms. Structural elements in the cell walls of bacteria (peptidoglycan or murein),
plants (cellulose) and animals (chitin).

57. Functions
1. Carbohydrates are intermediates in the biosynthesis of fats and proteins.
2. Carbohydrates aid in the regulation of nerve tissue and are the energy source for the brain.
3. Carbohydrates get associated with lipids and proteins to form surface antigens, receptor
molecules, vitamins, and antibiotics.
4. Formation of the structural framework of RNA and DNA (ribonucleic acid and
deoxyribonucleic acid).
5. They are linked to many proteins and lipids. Such linked carbohydrates are important in cell-
cell communication and in interactions between cells and other elements in the cellular
environment.
6. In animals, they are an important constituent of connective tissues.
7. Carbohydrates that is rich in fiber content help to prevent constipation.
8. Also, they help in the modulation of the immune system.
