CARBOHYDRATES build up by the atoms of Carbon, Hydrogen

and Oxygen concerned with storage and distribution of

energy classified as

-- monosaccharides [ Glucose , Fructose ]

-- disaccharides [ Maltose, Sucrose ]

-- poly saccharides [ Starch, cellulose ]

1 gram of Carbohydrate have the energy potential of 6.3 Calories



All simple sugars are either Aldehydes or ketones

Glucose is an aldose sugar with – CHO group.

Fructose is an Ketose sugar with > C=O group

Monosaccharides / Simple sugars

monosaccharides are further classified according to the

number of Carbon atoms per molecule into:

Trioses

Pentoses

Hexoses

Heptuloses



When two molecules of the same monosaccharides or different ones react

together, a disaccharide is formed.

When more than two monosaccharide units are combined polysaccharide is formed

Polymers of Glucose called amylose and amylopectin are contained in the starch in the ratio being 1:3.

Cellulose, Agar-agar, pectin are the plant polysaccharides

Glycogen is an animal polysaccharide.



Sources of Carbohydrates

starchy foods such as bread, potatoes, and pasta.

especially of whole grain varieties with dietary fibre are good source of

carbohydrates

Dietary Fibre is important for gut function, and may help to reduce the risk of heart disease and some

cancers.



Proteins consists of atoms of C, H, O, N and S which build up complex organic substances as

amino acids through peptide linkages.

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. -- made up of one amino group at one end and

carboxylic acid group at the other end.

2. Arginine

3. Aspargine

4. Aspartic acid

5. Cystine

6. Glutamic acid

Amino acids



Proteins Classification

- Simple proteins yields simple amino acids on complete hydrolysis.

[Albumins, Globulins, Prolamines, Protamines, Histones]

- Conjugated proteinsA protein group bonded to a non-protein or prothetic group.

[Nucleo proteins – nucleic acids, Muco proteins – polysaccharides]

- Derived proteinsFormed by the partial hydrolysis of proteins, [ Peptones]



SOURCES OF PROTEINS

PLANT PROTEINSground nutssoya beansgreen peas

ANIMAL PROTEINSedible locusts

Physiologically proteins are classified into

Structural proteins e.g. Keratins, Collagens, Scelero proteins

Functional Proteins.e.g. Enzymes, Hormones

Proteins are considered as body builders.

Performs as Regulators with the Vitamins and Minerals



- - are the fatty substances found in all living organisms.

- - soluble in alcohol, ether, or other organic solvents.

- - highly energy rich compound insoluble in water.

- - 1 gram of lipid provides 9.3 Calories of energy.

-: Sources of Lipids :-

Vegetable Oils

Animal fats

Fish Oils



Lipids are classified into

Simple lipids

(on hydrolysis glycerol and fatty acids are liberated)

Compound lipids

(formed through the combination with other compounds e.g. Phospho lipids, Glyco lipids, Lipo proteins)

Derived lipids

(derived from the partial hydrolysis e.g. Cholestrol)



They act as bio-catalysts combining with proteins to create metabolically active enzymes that in turn produce hundreds of

important chemical reactions throughout the body.

Without vitamins, many of these reactions would slow down or cease

Vitamins are organic substances whose presence is indispensable for the proper growth and upkeep of the body.



classified according to their solubility in fat or water.

VITAMINS

Fat-soluble vitamins:

A, D, E and K

They are generally consumed along with fat containing foods, and because they can be stored in the body's fat, they do not have to be consumed every day.

Water-soluble vitamins:

B1, B2, B3, B6, B12 and C

They can’t be stored and must be consumed frequently, preferably every day (with the exception of some B vitamins)
