1 CARBOHYDRATE NOTES

2 Carbohydrates Compounds containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio Example: C 6 H 12 O 6 Examples: Sugars & Starches

3 Functions in the body Main source of energy

4 Building Blocks Saccharide – the basic building block of carbohydrates Example: Sugars Monosaccharide – single sugars; C 6 H 12 O 6 Examples: Glucose (plants), Galactose (milk), Fructose (fruits)

5 Building Blocks, cont. Disaccharides – double sugars; C 12 H 22 O 11 Examples: Sucrose (table sugar), maltose (malt sugar), lactose (milk) Polysaccharides – many saccharide units Examples: starches, glycogen (animal starch), cellulose (plants)

6 Foods/Words that indicate Carbohydrates: Sugars Words that end in –ose Grains (Oats, corn, rice, wheat) Breads Pasta Potato products Sugars (corn sweetener, syrups, honey, brown sugar) Starches (flour, corn starch, corn meal) Milk products Fruits Vegetables (beans, corn, etc.) Duram Semolina (flour)
