Etymology : sanskrit "SARKARA" (grain), translated as sukkar in arabic, saccharum in latin and zucchero in italian Production of 145 millions tons/year of a « molecularly » pure product ! What do we mean by « Sugars » ? Refer to a vast familly of molecules, which are homogeneous (Cx (H2O)y ) and diversified. Made up of Carbone, Hydrogen & Oxygen. They are referred to as « Carbohydrates », « Hydrates de carbone » « Kohlenhydrate » but also « Saccharides » and « Glycans » Oligosaccharides, Polysaccharides Glycoconjugates as in Glycopeptides, Glycoproteins, Glycolipids 2 11/10/2016 Molecular Diversity of Monosaccharides Carbon chain (3 à 10 Carbons) multiforms All Carbons are functionalized Coexistence of a Carbonyl group (aldehyde or ketone) with several (2 to 9) Hydroxyl groups : aldoses / ketoses Dual character Electrophile – Nucleophile H O CH2OH AldoseH OH Ketose O HO H HO H CH2OH CH2OH Sugar in Space (400 light‐years away to Earth) Glycoaldehyde (and its reduced alcohol variant –ehyleneglycol) have been identifed from the energy it emits as it changes its rotational energy level by absorbing and emitting in the millimeter wavelength.

Furanose ring structures occur in Envelope (E) and Twist (T) conformations. Six membered ring structures can occur in 2 chairs (C), 6 boat (B), 6 Skew (S) and 12 half‐chair (H) conformations. These conformations result in orientating in space the different functions of the monosaccharide, which have an impact on recognition and reactivity.

    The No-Amylose Diet the Goal of This Diet Is to Avoid Foods That Contain Amylose and Glucose Which in Turn Cause a Rapid Rise in Blood Sugar When Ingested

    The No-Amylose Diet The goal of this diet is to avoid foods that contain amylose and glucose which in turn cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when ingested. This diet is based on the 00-2-3 rule and is an easy way for you to remember what should or should not be included in your diet each day. • 0 sugars (glucose or sucrose, including corn syrup) • 0 amylose • 2 servings of protein that total at least 6 to 8 ounces • 3 servings each of vegetables that grow above the ground and fruit (except bananas) per day. Easy-To-Make Adjustments This diet allows for sufficient quantities of food so that you won’t be hungry and can actually enjoy good-tasting, high-quality meals. It just involves adjusting some of our habits and thought patterns when it comes to food. For instance, you can still eat a hamburger, just not the bun. Why not try some melted cheese and a hearty slice of tomato on top instead? Soups can be a nutritious and filling meal or snack, but not when they are loaded with pasta, potatoes, or rice. Why not try some delicious black bean soup or maybe a homemade cream-based tomato soup without the added sugar so often found in canned varieties? Benefits of This Eating Plan And added benefit of this diet is that it is also a gluten-free diet. The avoidance of wheat, oats, rye, and barley is the same for both diets. If you have also been advised to be on a gluten-free diet, no adjustments need to be made in order for you to eat gluten-free.

    Some Nutritional Properties of Starch and Dietary Fiber in Barley Genotypes Containing Different Levels of Amylose

    Some Nutritional Properties of Starch and Dietary Fiber in Barley Genotypes Containing Different Levels of Amylose 2 I. BJORCK,' A.-C. ELIASSON, A. DREWS,' M. GUDMUNDSSON, 2 and R. KARLSSON3 ABSTRACT Cereal Chem. 67(4):327-333 The nutritional properties of starch and dietary fiber (DF) were studied differences in rate of starch hydrolysis were seen between boiled barley in barley genotypes containing different amylose contents: Waxy Campana flours. In contrast, autoclaving produced a slower course of amylolysis (-8% amylose); Alva, Lina, and Glacier normal (normal varieties, 25-27% in Glacier high, despite complete gelatinization. This material also amylose); and Glacier high (-35% amylose). On an equivalent starch contained a somewhat higher level of retrograded enzyme-resistant starch, basis, all barley varieties showed a somewhat higher availability to a- 3% (starch basis). The content of soluble DF was lower in Alva and amylase than a wheat reference. Among the barley flours, starch in the Lina (4.8%) compared with 6.5% in the other genotypes (dwb). The waxy variety was most available to a-amylase when tested raw. With viscosity of suspensions of isolated DF (1.6%, w/v) correlated to the excess water (90% H2 0), the gelatinization was completed at about 80 C, proportion of soluble DF and was in decreasing order: Waxy > Glacier as measured with differential scanning calorimetry, irrespective of high > Alva. When added to a starch suspension, isolated barley DF amylose content. At lower moisture (50% H2 0), the temperature interval preparations were equally effective in reducing the rate of gastric emptying for gelatinization was considerably broadened.

Conversion efficiencies increased as the amylose content de- were evaluated using artificially formulated media made from commer- creased, especially when the amylose content was >35%. The reduced cial corn starches with different contents of amylose, corn protein, and quadratic model fits the conversion efficiency data better than the full corn fiber, as well as media made from different cereal sources including quadratic model does. Fermentation tests on mashes made from corn, corn, sorghum, and wheat with different amylose contents. Second-order sorghum, and wheat samples with different amylose contents confirmed response-surface regression models were used to study the effects and the adverse effect of amylose content on fermentation efficiency. High- interactions of amylose, protein, and fiber contents on ethanol yield and temperature cooking with agitation significantly increased the conversion conversion efficiency. The results showed that the amylose content of efficiencies on mashes made from high-amylose (35–70%) ground corn starches had a significant (P < 0.001) effect on ethanol conversion effi- and starches. A cooking temperature of ≥160°C was needed on high- ciency. No significant effect of protein content on ethanol production was amylose corn and starches to obtain a conversion efficiency equal to that observed.

We investigated whether inulin and xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) could be protective against DNA strand breaks by adding them to a human colonic simulator consisting of a proximal vessel (PV) (pH 5.5) and a distal vessel (DV) (pH 6.8) inoculated with human faeces and media containing soy protein. Genotoxicity of the liquid phase and microbial population changes in the vessels were measured. Soy protein (3%) was fermented with 1% low amylose cornstarch for 10 day followed by soy protein with 1% XOS or 1% inulin for 10 day.

    Food Carbohydrates: Monosaccharides and Oligosaccharides

    Paper No. 01 Paper Title: Food Chemistry Module-04: Food carbohydrates: Monosaccharides and Oligosaccharides Monosaccharides The simplest form of carbohydrates is the monosaccharide. Monosaccharides are either aldoses or ketoses. Aldoses such as glucose consists of a carbon backbone and a carbonyl group (C=O) located at the end of the chain. Ketoses such as fructose consists of a carbon backbone with a carbonyl group located at any other carbon in the chain. The remaining carbon atoms are bound to hydroxyl groups (-OH). Monosaccharide classifications based on the number of carbons Number Category of Examples Name Carbons 4 Tetrose Erythrose, Threose 5 Pentose Arabinose, Ribose, Ribulose, Xylose, Xylulose, Lyxose Allose, Altrose, Fructose, Galactose, Glucose, Gulose, Idose, 6 Hexose Mannose, Sorbose, Talose, Tagatose 7 Heptose Sedoheptulose, Mannoheptulose Monosaccharides Three common sugars glucose, galactose and fructose share the same molecular formula: C6H12O6. Because of their six carbon atoms, each is a hexose. Although all three share the same molecular formula, the arrangement of atoms differs in each case. Substances such as these three, which have identical molecular formulas but different structural formulas, are known as structural isomers. Glucose "Blood sugar" is the immediate source of energy for cellular respiration. Glucose, which is also referred to as dextrose, is a moderately sweet sugar found in vegetables and fruit. When glucose is fermented by the enzyme zymase, in yeast, it results in the formation of carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol. It is the basic structure to which all carbohydrates are reduced to in the end, for transport via the bloodstream and use by the cells of the body.
