Digestion and Absorption of carbohydrates

Carbohydrates
• Sugars, Starches, Fibers
• Major food sources: plants
– Formed during photosynthesis

Objectives
• Provide an overview of the structures, mechanisms, and processes of the GI tract.
• Understand how food is digested and absorbed within the body.
• Explain how foods are transported after they are digested and absorbed.
• Describe how the body keeps the complex processes of digestion, absorption, and nutrient transport running smoothly.
• Explain various influences on digestion and absorption along with various nutrition and GI disorders.
4
The Gastrointestinal Tract
• Organization– Mouth anus– Accessory organs
• Salivary glands, liver, pancreas, gallbladder
• Functions– Ingestion– Transport– Secretion– Digestion– Absorption– Elimination
5
Overview of Digestion
• Physical movement– Peristalsis– Segmentation
• Chemical breakdown– Enzymes– Other secretions
6
Overview of Absorption
Types of absorptive
processes
• Passive Diffusion
7
Facilitated Diffusion
8
ActiveTransport

Diet
Liquid , solid and semisolidPolysaccharides = starch and glycogen Disaccharides = sucrose, lactose and
maltoseMonosaccharides = fructose and pentoses.
10
Digestion in Mouth Saliva and Enzymes
• Salivary amylase(ptyline) acts on starch• Moistens food for swallowing• α- amylase requires . Optimum pH and Cl- ions
• 6.6 -6.8
• It hydrolysis α-1→4 linkages at random deep inside of p/s molecule like starch, glycogen, and dextrin, producing smaller molecules maltose, glucose and trisaccharide.
11
Digestion in the stomach
No action on meal no enzymes

The Pyloric ValveThe Pyloric Valve
Small Intestine Stomach
Small intestine (Duodenum)
Pancreatic juicePancreatic amylase completes starch digestion Requirs α- amylase requires . Optimum pH(7.1)
and Cl- ionsEnd products of carbohydrate digestion
Glucose, fructose, galactose Absorbed into bloodstream
Fibers are not digested, excreted in feces

Small intestine Brush border enzymes digest disaccharides
Intestinal amylase hydrolyzes terminal α-1→4 linkages liberating free glucose.
Lactase (β-galactosidase) = pH 5.4 – 6.0
Isomaltase = hydrolysis α 1 – 6 = linkages splitting α - limit dextrin producing maltose and glucose

AbsorptionSmall intestine
Absorption• Folds, villi, microvilli expand absorptive surface• Most nutrients absorbed here• Fat-soluble nutrients go into lymph• Other nutrients into blood

*Assuming 24 hour Transit Time

Signaling Systems: Command, Control, Defense
• Nervous system– Regulates GI activity
• Local system of nerves• Central nervous system
• Hormonal system– Increases or decreases GI activity
• Immune system– Identifies and attacks foreign invaders
25
Nutrition and GI Disorders
• Constipation– Hard, dry, infrequent stools– Reduced by high fiber, fluid intake,
exercise
• Diarrhea– Loose, watery, frequent stools– Symptom of diseases/infections– Can cause dehydration
• Diverticulosis– Pouches along colon– High fiber diet reduces formation
26
Nutrition and GI Disorders
• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)– Reduced by smaller meals, less fat
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)• Colon cancer
– Antioxidants may reduce risk
• Gas• Ulcers
– Bacterial cause; helicobacter pylori
• Functional dyspepsia
27
Bacteria in the mouth ferment sugars and in the process produce an acid that dissolves tooth enamel. Sticky foods stay on the teeth longer and keep yielding acid longer than unsticky foods.
28
Lactose Intolerance
• Lactose in milk and other dairy foods
• Lactase enzyme
• Symptoms
29
• Sucrase deficiency
• malabsorption

Carbohydrates in Your Diet
• Recommended carbohydrate intake– 55-60% of kilocalories– Daily Value (for 2,000 kcal) = 300 grams– Dietary Guidelines
• Moderate sugar intake• Variety of grains, fruits, vegetables
– Fiber intake of 25 grams/day
32
Carbohydrates in Your Diet
• Increasing complex carbohydrate intake– Grains,
especially whole grains
– Legumes– Vegetables
33
Carbohydrates in Your Diet
• Reducing sugar intake– Use less added sugar– Limit soft drinks, sugary cereals,
candy– Choose fresh fruits or those
cannedin water or juice
