2015.02.18. Carbohydrates (saccharide saccharides) s) Carbohydrates (saccharides) 1 2 Carbohydrates (saccharides) Monosaccharides • A carbohydrate is an organic compound that consists only of carbon, hydrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen oxygen, usually with a hydrogen : oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water); consist of : in other words, with the empirical formula Cm(H2O)n • The term is most common in biochemistry, where it is a synonym of saccharide. 3 to 6 carbon atoms, typically a carbonyl group (aldehyde aldehyde or ketone ketone) several hydroxyl groups • The carbohydrates are divided into 3 chemical groups: monosaccharides monosaccharides,, oligosaccharides oligo saccharides and polysaccharides 3 Aldoses Ketoses Ketoses are monosaccharides Aldoses are monosaccharides • with an aldehyde group • with many hydroxyl (─ OH) groups triose (3 C atoms) tetrose (4 C atoms) pentose (5 C atoms) hexose (6 C atoms) 4 O ║ C─H aldose │ H─ C─OH │ H─ C─OH │ CH2OH • with a ketone group • with many hydroxyl (─ OH) groups Erythose, an aldotetrose 5 triose (3 C atoms) tetrose (4 C atoms) pentose (5 C atoms) hexose (6 C atoms) CH2OH │ C=O C= O ketose │ H─ C─OH │ H─ C─OH │ H─C─OH │ CH2OH Fructose, a ketohexose 6 1 2015.02.18. Photosynthesis Carbohydrates • are produced by photosynthesis in plants • such as glucose are synthesized in plants from CO 2, H2O, and energy from the sun • are oxidized in living cells (respiration) to produce CO 2, H2O, and energy 7 8 citrate cycle schematically the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle), the Krebs cycle, or the Szent-Györgyi–Krebs cycle The reactions in which NAD + is converted in NADH and GDP to GTP and FAD to FADH FADH2 2 means that energy has been released and that this energy is stored in these formed compounds. This energy can be used for a lot of purposes. 9 Categories of Carbohydrates Monosaccharides and disaccharides are also known as simple sugars, or simple carbohydrates, and polysaccharides are also known as complex carbohydrates. • Simple Carbohydrates: Monosaccharides and Disaccharides The term "saccharide" means sugar, so monosaccharide literally means one (i.e. "mono") sugar (i.e. "saccharide") molecule. Monosaccharide sugar molecules are also referred to as simple sugars or simple carbohydrates. Glucose, also known as blood sugar, and fructose, also known as fruit sugar, are examples of monosaccharide sugar molecules. fructose A disaccharide is composed of two monosaccharides (i.e. two sugar molecules). Maltose Maltose, for example, is a disaccharide composed of two glucose monosaccharides, and sucrose (or table sugar) is a disaccharide composed of a glucose monosaccharide and a fructose monosaccharide. 10 Monosaccharides Glucose Fructose fruits, mel fruits, mel • Complex Carbohydrates: Polysaccharides Polysaccharides, also known as complex carbohydrates, are made up of many ("poly" means many) glucose molecules. Examples of polysaccharides include starch, glycogen, and cellulose, all of which are composed of just glucose molecules but differ in the manner in which the glucose molecules are linked together. 11 Galactose milk sugar 12 2 2015.02.18. Disaccharides Beta vulgaris, Saccharum officinarum, fruits maple syrup Saccharose two glucoses milk, dairy products, Lactose - milk sugar, (glucose and galactose) open aldehyde structure for glucose into a cyclic hemiacetal, called a glucopyranose milk products Maltose seed-germ (glucose and fructose ) http://www2.chemistry.msu.edu/faculty/reusch/VirtTxtJml/carbhyd.htm 14 Polisaccharides Amilose potato, cereals (starch, linear glucose polymer) Amilopectin potato, cereals (starch, branched glucose polymer) Glikogen liver, meat (muscle) (glycogen, branched glucose polymer) Cellobiose : 4-O-β-D-Glucopyranosyl-D-glucose Maltose : 4-O-α-D-Glucopyranosyl-D-glucose Gentiobiose : 6-O-β-D-Glucopyranosyl-D-glucose Trehalose : α-D-Glucopyranosyl-α-D-glucopyranoside Inulin artichoke, sweet potato (fructose polymer) 16 For example • • • • starch consists of two fractions: About 20% is a water soluble material called amylose. Molecules of amylose are linear chains of several thousand glucose units joined by alpha C-1 to C-4 glycoside bonds. Amylose solutions are actually dispersions of hydrated helical micelles. The majority of the starch is a much higher molecular weight substance, consisting of nearly a million glucose units, and called amylopectin. Molecules of amylopectin are branched networks built from C-1 to C-4 and C-1 to C-6 glycoside links, and are essentially water insoluble. blood sugar is the monosaccharide glucose, table sugar is the disaccharide sucrose, and milk sugar is the disaccharide lactose (see illustration) Carbohydrates perform numerous roles in living organisms: Polysaccharides serve for the storage of energy (e.g., starch and glycogen), and as structural components (e.g., cellulose in plants and chitin in arthropods). The 5-carbon monosaccharide ribose is an important component of coenzymes (e.g., ATP, FAD, and NAD) and the backbone of the genetic molecule known as RNA. The related deoxyribose is a component of DNA. Saccharides and their derivatives include many other important biomolecules that play key roles in the immune system, fertilization, preventing pathogenesis, blood clotting, and development • In food science and in many informal contexts, the term carbohydrate often means any food that is particularly rich in the complex carbohydrate starch (such as cereals, bread, and pasta) or simple carbohydrates, such as sugar (found in candy, jams, and desserts) 18 3 2015.02.18. • Complex oligosaccharides are common components of numerous biologically important macromolecules. In many of these systems aminosaccharides, deoxysaccharides and C9 glyconic acids are found linked to more common sugar units • Cyclodextrins: An interesting class of non-reducing oligosaccharides composed of glucopyranose rings joined 1-4 by alpha-glycosidic bonds are called cyclodextrins. MONOSACCHARIDES in crude drugs - the interior of the cyclodextrin ring is relatively hydrophobic, these remarkable compounds are able to encapsulate small nonpolar molecules - they have been used as catalysts and aqueous transport agents 20 Honey,, mel Honey Apis mellifica L. - the nectar of flowers collected by honey bees ( Apidae), in the bowels of processed liquid a sweet food made by bees using nectar from flowers mixture of sugars and other compounds carbohydrates: is mainly fructose (38.5%) and glucose (31.0%) water (10 -20%) dextrin essential oils acids (tartaric acid, malic acid, formic acid) wax pigment vitamin B2 acetylcholin aminoacids enzyms (invertase, amylase) mineralelements Apitherapy:: Apitherapy uses the bee products like: honey, pollen, propolis, royal jelly, and bee venom 21 Propolis • is a resinous mixture that honey bees • • • • collect from tree buds, sap flows, or other botanical sources it is used as a sealant for unwanted open spaces in the hive propolis is used for small gaps while larger spaces are usually filled with beeswax its color depending on its botanical source, the most common being dark brown Contents: has approximately 50 constituents primarily resins and vegetable balsams (50%), waxes (30%, essential oils (10%), and pollen (5%).
