- 1. Chapter 30: Nutrition K. Dunlap Chem 104
- 2. Nutrition the study of food and how the body uses it Function of Nutrients: 1) supply energy 2) supply materials for building and replacing body tissues 3) supply other substances needed for various life processes
- 3. Nutrition • Nutrients:Nutrients: the components of food and drink that provide growth, replacement, and energy: 1. Carbohydrates 2. Lipids 3. Proteins 4. Vitamins 5. Minerals 6. Water • DigestionDigestion: the hydrolysis of starches, fats, and proteins into smaller units that can be absorbed and metabolized.
- 4. Elemental Composition of the Human Body
- 5. Digestive Tract • breakdown of food is done through a series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions • CHO start breaking down into maltose and disaccharides in the mouth by salivary amylase • pepsin begins the breakdown of protein into polypeptides • acids are neutralized • CHO to monosaccharides and absorbed • polypeptides to amino acids and absorbed • triglycerides to FAs and glycerol
- 6. Digestion Continued… • Bile acids are like soaps. They have a polar and nonpolar groups that aid water soluble lipase and the incorporation of fats into chylomicrons for transport. They are synthesized in the liver and stored in the gallblader • Lipase cleaves triglycerides to fatty acids and glycerol • Fatty acids, glycerol, amino acids, monosaccharides are absorbed in the small intestine and travel through the blood stream to the liver for further modification
- 7. Proteins • Different enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of peptide chains at different specific sites.
- 8. Carbohydrates Proteins Fats Mouth Salivary amylase Disaccharides Maltose Stomach Pepsin Polypeptides Small Intestine Pancreatic enzymes Simples sugars Glucose Pancreatic enzymes Amino acids Lipase Bile salts Glycerol FAs Bloodstream Liver Glycogen Body proteins Body fats
- 9. Calorimeter • Food energy is measured in Calories (capital C) 1 Cal = 1 kcal = 1000 cal = 4180 joules • a Calorie is defined as the amount of energy required to raise 1 kg of water 1°C •Measured in a bomb calorimeter
- 10. Calculating the Caloric Value of Food Carbohydrate = 4 Cal per gram Proteins = 4 Cal per gram Fats = 9 Cal per gram
- 11. Determining Fat Content of Foods
- 13. Recommended Daily Intake: Adults: 0.8 g per kg of body weight Children and Pregnancy: 1.5-2.0 g per kg body weight Complete Protein - contains all essential amino acids -meat, eggs, dairy, fish Incomplete Protein - missing one or more essential amino acids -legumes and grains combined make a complete protein Proteins
- 14. Proteins – Gelatin, which is denatured collagen, is an incomplete protein because it lacks Trp, and is low in Ile and Met. – Corn protein is low in Lys and Trp. – Rice is low in Lys and Thr. – Wheat protein is low in Lys. – Legumes are low in Met and Cys. – Soy protein is very low in Met. Protein complementation:Protein complementation: a diet in which two or more proteins complementation each other’s deficiencies; for example: – grains + legumes (rice + beans)
- 15. Fats • recommended 30% of diet -10% monounsaturated -10% saturated -10% unsaturated Essential Fatty acids: Omega-3 EPA, DHA, linoleic Omega-6 Arachidonic acid, α-linolenic • EPA, DHA, AA are 20 carbon hormone-like fatty acids that play an important part in the immune function

- 17. Energy Needs Woman 2000 Cal Men 2200 Cal -physical activity and lifestage affects energy needs -need to burn 3500 Cal to lose 1 pound Basal Caloric Requirements -the requirements for a resting body
- 19. Vitamins -Organic compounds required in small amounts for normal metabolism and good health - not a source of energy Water soluble - C and Bs -must be replenished everyday -Difficult to overdose Fat soluble - A, D, E, K -does not need to be replenished everyday -can cause toxicity
- 24. Vitamin Absorption and Storage • All absorption takes place in the small intestine • Fat-soluble vitamins – Are absorbed in the duodenum – Storage • Vitamin A is mainly stored in the liver • Vitamins K and E are partially stored in the liver • Vitamin D is mainly stored in the fat and muscle tissue • Can build up in body to point of toxicity
- 25. Vitamin Absorption and Storage • Water-soluble vitamins – Absorbed with water and enter directly into the blood stream – Most absorbed in the duodenum and jejunum – Most are not stored in the body – Excess intake excreted through the urine – Important to consume adequate amounts daily – Dietary excesses can be harmful
- 27. Digesting and Absorbing Water-Soluble Vitamins Figure 10.1
- 28. Water-Soluble Vitamins Fat-Soluble Vitamins Absorbed in the Small Intestine Small Intestine Hydrophobic or Hydrophilic Hydrophilic Hydrophobic Absorbed into the Blood Lymph Stored in the body Not Generally Yes Can build up and become toxic Not Generally Yes Need to consume daily Yes No
- 29. Bioavailability • Varies based on – Amount in food – Preparation – Efficiency of digestion and absorption of food – Individual nutritional status – Natural or synthetic • Fat-soluble vitamins are generally less bioavailable than water-soluble vitamins • Vitamins from animal foods are generally more bioavailable than those in plant foods

- 41. Updated Recommendations In Process • Studies suggest that the daily vitamin D intakes should be much higher than 400 IU/d. • Daily intakes in the range of 800 to 1000 IU/d should be strongly considered. • Although there are concerns regarding vitamin D toxicity, side effects at intakes exceeding the current upper limit of 2000 IU/d have not been reported to date. • Assessment of vitamin D status with serum measurements of 25(OH) vitamin D levels for a broader range of patients should be encouraged.
