9. Carbohydrates Chapter 16 CARBOHYDRATES Contain C, H, O only CXH2YOY = CX(H2O)Y i.e hydrates of carbon most common names end in '-----ose' Carbohydrates General Structural Features Usually 5/6 membered rings with C and one O Many -OH groups water soluble (simple ones ) easily broken down for energy (already partly 'oxidized') From Monosaccharides to Polysaccharides The root sacchar- comes from the Latin saccharum, "sugar". A monosaccharide is the smallest molecular unit of a carbohydrate. Glucose, the prototypical monosaccharide, is the most abundant organic molecule on earth. A disaccharide is a molecule formed from a combination of two monosaccharides, eg. sucrose A polysaccharide is a molecular chain (maybe branched) of hundreds / thousands of monosaccharides, eg. cellulose Common Carbohydrates Carbohydrate Formula Monosaccharides, C6(H2O)6 Glucose (blood sugar, grape sugar, dextrose) Fructose ( levulose ) Galactose C6H12O6 C6H12O6 C6H12O6 Disaccharides, C12(H2O)11 Sucrose (table sugar,beet sugar, cane sugar) Maltose (malt sugar) Cellobiose Lactose (milk sugar ) C12H22O11 C12H22O11 C12H22O11 C12H22O11 Polysaccharides, Cx(H2O)y Starch Cellulose Glucose – a 2,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxy hexanal C6H12O6 – a(aldo)hexose 6 HO 5 HO HO H 5 O O 4 1 3 HO 6 HO 4 1 2 3 OH open chain O HO OH 2 OH cyclic (6 mem. ring = pyran) Glucose – single then soluble Polysaccharides – the Glycosidic Linkage + HO HO OH HO HO HO O O O OH HO OH O + H2O OH monosaccharides O * O glycosidic linkage O O O O O starch = 1,4 linkages = cellulose O n* STARCHES Plant : Amylose -straight chain (~200 -D glucose units) Amylopectin - branched every ~25 units (1000+ -D glucose units) Dextrins -partial breakdown of amylopectin (food additives , paste , fabric finishes ) Animal : Glycogen -branches every~12 units -short-term energy in body (liver & muscle). More Branching = Faster ‘Breakdown’ Amylopectin Glycogen Amylose Helical Structure • Left hand helix (partial) Iodine test for Starch • Helical structure of amylose holds the I3ion; linear cellulose does not Carbohydrates The Most Common Energy Source Chemical Breakdown / Reaction = Digestion H2O H2O Complex Dextrins (starch) H2O Simple Mono(glucose) O2 acetate(2C) + CO2 + H2O + Energy NB. can be reversed, ie. glucose glycogen Starch Breakdown / Digestion Complex Dextrins Small Mono- Energy Sources Instant Blood sugar(glucose): ~1g/L or 20Cal or ~30mins. Short Term Liver/Muscles(glycogen): ~325g or ~6 hrs. the more muscle, the more glycogen any excess is converted into fat Long Term Fat(adipose tissue): ~ 20kg or ~35 days Nutritional / Dietary Carbohydrates Starch - the digestible carbohydrate(for humans) Simple - mono-/disaccharides, eg. sugars Complex -seeds/roots of plants, eg. grains(pasta), corn, potatoes, rice Recommended - at least 55% of our Caloric intake (10% sugar & 45% complex) N A average - 20% sugar + 25% complex! Cellulose - indigestible carbohydrate for humans Soluble(pectins/gums) - fruits(apples), grain husks (oat bran) Insoluble(fiber/bulk/roughage) - potato skins, apple peels, celery, lettuce Recommended - ~30g/day NA average - ~15g/day What is Dextrose? Dextrose (Blood sugar) is the form of glucose that rotates the plane of polarized light in a clockwise direction. What is “invert sugar?” • Hydrolysis of (+)sucrose (table sugar) produces equal amounts of (+)glucose and (-) fructose (levulose). • But, fructose optical rotation is larger (negatively) than glucose rotation is positively. Hence, the resulting solution is levorotatory (-). • Thus, start with only (+) then get (-) after hydrolysis-so the net result of hydrolysis is inversion of the direction of the optical rotation • Honey is mostly invert sugar –ie an equal mixture of glucose and fructose Sucrose -> Glucose + Fructose (Invert) O OH sucrose(+66) HO OH HO HO HO O sucrase (invertase) HO O D-glucose(+52) (dextrose) + D-fructose(-92) (levulose) OH Maltose – the basic unit of Starch OH O (down) - linkage HO HO HO OH O O HO requires maltase (humans > yes) OH OH Cellobiose – the basic unit of Cellulose (up) - linkage O OH HO HO HO OH O HO requires cellobiase (humans > no) HO O OH Why Dietary Fibre? It's Indigestible! Beneficial statistical correlations for colon cancer, obesity, diabetes, heart disease. Acts as a sponge for water and other substances Functions as a physical 'cleaner' Soluble - can help lower cholesterol levels reduces rate of glucose absorption Insoluble - fills you up eat less fat 'cleans' folds in intestinal walls no physical damage to intestinal walls adsorbs/removes many 'nasties' Human Exploitation of Cellulose Cellulose is a major component of grass, leaves, wood, cotton(produced by photosynthesis). World Biomass Production = 1011 tons annually Present: Humans benefit indirectly by allowing ruminants(cows, sheep) to digest cellulose and convert it into protein which we eat. Enzyme & Substrate: like a Lock & Key Enzymes are huge protein molecules with intricate but well-defined shapes. They are the catalysts that bring about all the chemical reactions in our bodies. For effective reactivity the molecule must fit into the convolutions of the shape of the enzyme. Much like a key must fit the tumblers of a lock. Lactose Intolerance Lactase is the enzyme that specifically breaks the -1,4- linkage of lactose to produce D-galactose and D-glucose. Infants have a highly active form but 70% of adults have some lactase deficiency. If lactose is not cleaved in small intestine it passes to the colon and 1) absorbs water or 2) is degraded by bacteria, resulting in cramps, diarrhea, etc. About 10% of NA adults permanently lose their lactase compared to 3% of Danes and 97% of Thais.

NB. Diabetes is: 1) second only to trauma for leg amputation 2) leading cause of blindness in adults over 20 3) leading cause of kidney failure 4) almost triples risk of heart attack or stroke Type 1 Diabetes • Body produces virtually no insulin • Thus insulin needed for treatment • Absence of insulin causes uncontrolled lipolysis of fat and severe wasting of body tissues, eventually resulting in death Living with Type 2 Diabetes • Body makes too little insulin or its effect is resisted • In some cases insulin is needed • sometimes controlled with a reduced sugar diet • Loss of weight will cause an increase in the number of insulin receptors, hence improved condition Canadians Discover Insulin (1921) • Frederick Banting and his assistant Charles Best isolated insulin from the pancreas of dogs (canine insulin) and administered it to Type 1 patients • Nobel Prize awarded to Banting and McLeod for this work Structural Differences • Porcine & canine insulin are identical and have 50/51 amino acids in common with human insulin • Bovine insulin and human insulin have 48/51 amino acids in common • Thus porcine insulin most often used Source of Human Insulin • Patients who are allergic to these can now get cloned Insulin marketed as the Drug Humulin Synthesis of Human Insulin • • • • • • • Saran Narang (NRC Ottawa) 1930-2007 Synthesised the proinsulin gene Enabled mass production of Humulin Via recombinant DNA Insulin is a protein 51 amino acids DNA>RNA>protein Other molecules with sugar type structures Fake Fats • Simplesse - from egg white or milk proteins Emulsified starch - in Hellman’s light mayonaisse Emulsified protein - gelatin + water Olestra* ($200 million, by Proctor&Gamble) may cause cramps/diarrhea(dehydration) reduces absorption of vit.

After hardening they are dipped in chocolate and stored. After 12 weeks the sucrose is hydrolyzed/split by the sucrase into glucose + fructose which dissolves easily in the cherry juice.
