11-CHO Flashcards
(119 cards)
The Components included in a “Proximate Analysis” approach are?
(1) Moisture
(2) Ash
(3) Protein
(4) Fibre
(5) Fat
____ is generally not included? why?
CHO, because it exists in different forms.
how does %cho measured?
%CHO= 100- (%H2O+ %Ash+ %Protein+ %Fibre+ %Fat).
N-containing is the?
crude protein
ash is organic/inorganic?
inorganic
what is the function of digestible cho?
metabolic energy
what is the function of non-digestible cho?
•bulkiness,body,
viscosity,stability to emulsions
and foams,
• water-holding capacity,
• stability to freezing and thawing,
• browning (including generation of flavors and
aromas),
• textures (from crispness to smooth, soft gels),
• lower water activity and thereby inhibit
microbial growth
according to WHO/FAO, CHO is classified on _____? also known as ____?
molecular size (degree of polymerization (DP)) Sugars (DP 1–2) Oligosaccharides(DP 3–9) Polysaccharides (DP >9)
DP1-2
sugar
oligosaccharide DP?
3-9
polysaccharide DP?
> 9

composed of ___ to ___ _____ units
Polysaccharides usually contain ____ to ____ or more _______
2-20 sugar units

give ex of monosaccharides
glucose, Fructose, galactose, arabinose and xylose ).
give ex of oligosaccharides
e.g disaccharides such as sucrose and lactose, and trisaccharides such as raffinose
what are polysaccharides,, ex.
Polysaccharides are polymers of monosaccharides (>10).
- 1-Homopolysaccharides (e.g. starch, cellulose, glycogen formed from only glucose).
