BASIC NUTRIENTS IN FOOD
1.
Ā© BRITISH NUTRITION
FOUNDATION 2013 Nutrients (Foundation)
2.
Ā© BRITISH NUTRITION
FOUNDATION 2013 Learning objectives ā¢ To introduce macronutrients and micronutrients. ā¢ To explain the functions and sources of carbohydrate, protein and fat. ā¢ To explain the functions and sources of different vitamins and minerals.
3.
Ā© BRITISH NUTRITION
FOUNDATION 2013 Food is eaten and digested in the body to allow the absorption of energy and nutrients. There are two different types of nutrients: ā¢ macronutrients; ā¢ micronutrients. There are three macronutrients that are essential for health. These are: ā¢carbohydrate; ā¢protein; ā¢fat. Macronutrients are measured in grams (g).
4.
Ā© BRITISH NUTRITION
FOUNDATION 2013 Carbohydrate The two types of carbohydrate that provide dietary energy are starch and sugars. Dietary fibre is also a type of carbohydate which is not digested to provide energy. Starchy carbohydrate is an important source of energy. 1 gram of carbohydrate provides 4kcal (17kJ).
5.
Ā© BRITISH NUTRITION
FOUNDATION 2013 Structure of carbohydrate All types of carbohydrate are compounds of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. They can be classified in many different ways. One common way is according to their structure. Sugars Sugars come from a variety of foods. Some are within the cellular structure of the food, e.g. in fruit or vegetables. These are called intrinsic sugars. Other sugars are not bound into the cellular structure of the food, e.g. in milk or honey. These are called extrinsic sugars.
6.
Ā© BRITISH NUTRITION
FOUNDATION 2013 Can you give some examples of sources of sugar in the diet? ā¢Fruit and vegetables (fructose) ā¢Milk and dairy products (lactose) ā¢Honey ā¢Fruit juice ā¢Table sugar (sucrose) ā¢Sweets and chocolate
7.
Ā© BRITISH NUTRITION
FOUNDATION 2013 Starchy carbohydrate Starch is found in a variety of foods. It is made up of many sugar molecules. Can you give some examples of sources of starch in the diet? ā¢Potatoes ā¢Bread ā¢Rice ā¢Pasta Cereal and cereal products are the main source of carbohydrate for adults in Britain.
8.
Ā© BRITISH NUTRITION
FOUNDATION 2013 Protein Protein is essential for growth and repair and keeping cells healthy. Protein also provides energy: 1 gram of protein provides 4 kcal (17 kJ).
9.
Ā© BRITISH NUTRITION
FOUNDATION 2013 Structure of protein Protein is made up of building blocks called amino acids. Different foods contain different amounts and different combinations of amino acids. Protein from animal sources (e.g. meat, fish, eggs and dairy products) contains the full range of essential amino acids needed by the body. Protein from plant sources (e.g. pulses and cereals) typically contain fewer essential amino acids.
10.
Ā© BRITISH NUTRITION
FOUNDATION 2013 Sources of protein Animal: ā¢ meat; ā¢ fish; ā¢ eggs; ā¢ milk; ā¢ cheese. Plant: ā¢ nuts; ā¢ seeds; ā¢ pulses, e.g. beans, lentils; ā¢ mycoprotein; ā¢ soya products.
11.
Ā© BRITISH NUTRITION
FOUNDATION 2013 Eating different types of protein can ensure sufficient intake of essential amino acids which are needed by the body. Can you think of dishes which combine protein from different sources? For example: ā¢ Baked beans on wholegrain toast ā¢ Breakfast cereal with milk ā¢ Cottage pie with vegetables ā¢ Hummus and salad wrap ā¢ Fish pie and peas ā¢ Spinach and chickpea curry with rice
12.
Ā© BRITISH NUTRITION
FOUNDATION 2013 Fat Fat provides fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, and is necessary for their absorption. It is also important for essential fatty acids the body cannot make. Fat provides a concentrated source of energy: 1 gram of fat provides 9 kcal (37 kJ). Foods that contain a lot of fat provide a lot of energy.
13.
Ā© BRITISH NUTRITION
FOUNDATION 2013 Structure of fat Fat is made up of different types of fatty acids and glycerol. The structure of the fatty acids determines: ā¢ their effect on our health; ā¢ their characteristics, e.g. melting point.
14.
Ā© BRITISH NUTRITION
FOUNDATION 2013 Structure of fat Depending on their chemical structure, fatty acids are usually classified as: ā¢ saturated; ā¢ monounsaturated; ā¢ polyunsaturated. High intakes of saturated fat may raise blood cholesterol and increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. A diet high in unsaturates is associated with a lower level of blood cholesterol and reduces the risk of heart disease.
15.
Ā© BRITISH NUTRITION
FOUNDATION 2013 Type of fat Source Total fat Meat and meat products (23%) Cereals/cereal products (incl. cakes and biscuits) (19%) Milk and milk products (14%) Fat spreads (12%) Potatoes and savoury snacks (10%) Eggs and fish (7%) Saturated fat Milk & milk product (24%) Meat & meat products (22%) Cereal products (18%) Fat spreads (11%) Fried potatoes/savoury snacks (6%) Eggs & egg dishes (3%) Unsaturated fat Meat & meat products (27%) Cereal products (17%) Potatoes cooked in oil & savoury snacks (12%) Fat & spreads (11%) Milk & milk products (10%) This table shows sources of fat in the British diet.This table shows sources of fat in the British diet.
16.
Ā© BRITISH NUTRITION
FOUNDATION 2013 All foods provide different types of fatty acids in varying proportions. Butter is often described as a āsaturated fatā because it has more saturated fatty acids than unsaturated fatty acids. Most vegetable oils are described as āunsaturated fatsā as they have more mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids than saturated. Most saturated fats are solid at room temperature and tend to come from animal sources.Ā Most unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature and are usually from plant sources.
17.
Ā© BRITISH NUTRITION
FOUNDATION 2013 Micronutrients There are two types of micronutrients: ā¢ vitamins; ā¢ minerals. Vitamins and minerals are needed in much smaller amounts than macronutrients. Their amounts are measured in milligrams (mg) and micrograms (Ī¼g). (1mg = 0.001g) (1Ī¼g = 0.001mg).
18.
Ā© BRITISH NUTRITION
FOUNDATION 2013 Vitamins There are two groups of vitamins: ā¢ fat-soluble vitamins, which can be stored in the body, e.g. vitamins A and D. ā¢ water-soluble vitamins, which cannot be stored in the body and are therefore required daily, e.g. B vitamins and vitamin C.
19.
Ā© BRITISH NUTRITION
FOUNDATION 2013 Fat soluble vitamins Vitamin A Vitamin A is needed for: ā¢ dim light vision; ā¢ healthy skin and eyes; ā¢ resistance to infection. Vitamin A is found pre-formed in liver and whole milk. It can also be produced from beta-carotene provided by dark green leafy vegetables, carrots and orange coloured fruit. In the UK, margarine must be fortified with vitamin A and vitamin D. Vitamin A and D are also often voluntarily added to reduced fat spreads.
20.
Ā© BRITISH NUTRITION
FOUNDATION 2013 Vitamin D Vitamin D is needed for the absorption of calcium from foods to keep bones and teeth healthy.
