Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates



Cox(H2O)y carbon along with
hydrogen and oxygen in the
same ratio as water
Basic unit – monosaccharide
Multiple units –




disaccharide (2)
trisaccharide (3)
oligosaccharide (2-10)
polysaccharide (>10)
Carbohydrates

Sugars

Monosaccharides


Glucose, Fructose
Disaccharides



Lactose (glucose
and galactose) milk
Maltose (glucose
and glucose) Sucrose (glucose
and fructose –table
sugar
Reducing sugars
Examples: glucose, lactose,
fructose
Non-reducing sugar contains
no hemiacetal groups.
Example: sucrose
Carbohydrates
Polysaccharides
 Examples:




starch - glucose polymers, found in plants
cellulose –found in plant fibers, insoluble
Pectin-units are sugar acids rather than simple
sugars, found in vegetables and fruits
Branched vs. linear

Starches are a mixture of branched (amylopectin) and
linear (amylose) polysaccharides
Tests for carbohydrates

Benedicts test for sugars

Iodine test for starch
Positive
Reaction
Benedict’s Test




The Benedict's test allows us to detect the presence of
reducing sugars (sugars with a free aldehyde or ketone
group). All monosaccharides are reducing sugars. Some
disaccharides are also reducing sugars. Other disaccharides
such as sucrose are non-reducing sugars and will not react
with Benedict's solution. Starches are also non-reducing
sugars.
The copper sulfate (CuSO4) present in Benedict's solution
reacts with electrons from the reducing sugar to form cuprous
oxide (Cu2O), a red-brown precipitate.
The final color of the solution depends on how much of this
precipitate was formed, and therefore the color gives an
indication of how much reducing sugar was present if a
quantitative reagent was used.
With increasing amounts of reducing sugar the result will be:
green yellow orange red
Iodine Test



The Iodine test is used to test for the
presence of starch.
Iodine solution – Iodine is dissolved in an
aqueous solution of potassium iodide reacts with starch producing a deep blueblack color.
Although the exact chemistry of the color
change is not known, it is believed that
the iodine changes the shape of the starch
to change the color
Lipids





Present as fats extracted from plants or
animals (butter, vegetable oil) or as
constituents of food (chocolate)
Contributions to foods: texture and flavor
Contain only Carbon, hydrogen and
oxygen
Most common form for lipid in foods is as
a triglyceride
What difference in texture would you see
substituting vegetable shortening or
vegetable oil for butter in the formulation?
Saturated Lipids (Fats)


Saturated fats have
no double bonds in
any of the fatty acid
chains in the
triglyceride hence it is
saturated with
hydrogen.

Conversion between
solid structure to a

the melting point
How would changing
the melting point of
the lipid used change
the cookie texture?
Brown Bag Test
Proteins


Proteins are made up of amino acids

essential and nonessential

Contains Nitrogen
Protein can be found in the flour, egg and
milk as well as other ingredients.
Proteins



Biuret Test
The Biuret Reagent is made of
sodium hydroxide and copper
sulfate. The blue reagent turns
violet in the presence of
proteins, and the darker the
purple color, the more protein
is present.
Biuret’s Reagent is unstable,
but can be mixed on the spot
using NaOH & Benedicts
Leavening agents





Used to produce a gas that
'lightens' dough or batter.
used to raise baked goods.
water a leavening agent (pie
crusts, some crackers)
air incorporated into batter (angel
and sponge cakes)
expand when heated and cause
the raising of the dough or batter
when gas is trapped in matrix of
gluten and starch from flour
Leavening agents

Baking soda
 -NaHCO3
 Needs moisture plus an acid
source such as vinegar, citrus juice,
sour cream, yogurt, buttermilk,
chocolate, cocoa (not Dutchprocessed), honey, molasses (also
brown sugar), fruits or maple syrup to
react
 used to neutralize acids in foods
 around 4 times as strong as baking
powder
 can cause soapy flavor in high
amounts
Leavening agents

Baking powder
 NaHCO3 plus acidifier(s) and drying agent (usually an
acid salt and cornstarch)
 can cause acidity and/or bitter off-flavor
 two acidifiers used in double acting to produce CO2 in
two steps
 Reacts when moistened and also reacts when heated
 double-acting is the only commercial baking powder
available today.

Cupcake




Use any combination of ingredients from the
approved list as well as physical parameter changes
(temperature, cupcake lining materials, etc.) to
formulate an ideal team cupcake. Teams may choose
variables used in the first two experiments or use
new variables. If a recipe from a cookbook or web
site is used as a starting source, the source must be
listed in the notebook.
Aiming for a density of 0.3 g/ml
Aiming for less than 0.3% of the mass of the
cupcake to be left on liner or in crumbs when liner
taken off
Must have nutrition food label

(or until it gets too hot to hold)
Punch hole from INSIDE into center bottom of cup

standard liquid to break flow as it leaves
When determining how much fluid to use, keep a
couple of items in mind
 The larger the amount of fluid the less influence
reaction time will have on error.
 The amount of fluid the event supervisor is likely
to allow the team to have.
Standard Curve

Nutrition


Students will create a food label for their
cupcakes properly indicating serving size,
calories, amount fat, unsaturated fat,
saturated fat, carbohydrates, sugars, fiber,
and protein, as well as accompanying daily
value percentages.
Students are NOT to be scored on how
healthy the cupcake is, only on their
ability to identify its role in a healthy diet.
Nutrition








Calorie - amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1
gram of water 1 degree Celsius.
Kilocalorie (1000 calories) is the unit commonly used to represent
energy values of foods -or Calorie with a C instead of a c
Not all carbohydrates (or fats, or proteins) yield the exact same
amount of energy when burned in a calorimeter, so common
averages from studies (in kcal/g) are used
Carbohydrates average 4.1 kcal/gram in a bomb calorimeter, are
about 98% digestible and yield 4 kcal/g when consumed
Proteins average 5.7 kcal/g in a bomb calorimeter, are not as easily
digested and yield an average of 4 kcal/g when consumed
Lipids average 9.5 kcal/g in a bomb calorimeter, are 95% digested
and yield an average of 9 kcal/g when consumed
Fats (lipids) are the most concentrated source of food calories
Carbohydrates are the cheapest source of calories, proteins the
most expensive
Fiber


Foods not digested by human digestive
system
Two types

Soluble Fiber-helps regulate blood sugar


Found in Oats & Oat Bran, some Fruits & vegys
Insoluble Fiber-helps clean out colon

Found in whole wheat, some fruit skins and vegys
Nutritional labeling

2)
Fill in the following blanks.
a) There are ___ Calories/gram of fat.
b) There are ___ Calories/gram of carbohydrate
c) There are ___Calories/gram of protein
d) There are ___Calories/gram of water
Use the nutritional label given for information to
answer the following questions:
a) Calculate the Calories in one serving of this
product.
(1) Calories from Fat
(2) Calories from Protein
(3) Total Calories in one serving
b) What percent of the carbohydrate Calories come
from fiber?
c) If the daily value of iron is 18 mg per day, calculate
the amount (in mg) of iron in one bar of this
product.
