Week 4 Flashcards
1
Q
fats
A
- needed for health
- provides mouth feel
- fat is made of C, H, and O like carbs and proteins
2
Q
lipids
A
a family of organic compounds that are not soluble in water
3
Q
what do lipids include
A
- triglycerides (fats and oils)
- phospholipids (lecithin)
- sterols (cholesterol)
4
Q
triglycerides
A
make up ~95% of all lipids in foods and the human body
5
Q
triglycerides (fats)
A
lipids that are solid at room temp
6
Q
triglycerides (oils)
A
lipids that are liquid at room temp
7
Q
functions of fat
A
- bodys chief storage form of excess food energy - survival during feast-or-famine
- provides much of the energy needed for the bodys work
- fat on healthy-weight person is more than enough for entire marathon
- energy when a person becomes ill and stops eating
8
Q
fat cells (adipose cells)
A
specialized for fat storage
- they expand and multiply (we store more)
9
Q
adipose (fat) tissue
A
is an metabolically active tissue
- secretes hormones and produces enzymes that influence food intake and affect the body’s use of nutrients
10
Q
why can more fat be stored than glycogen?
A
fats pack tightly together without water allowing far more fat to be stored compared to glycogen
- far more efficient storage form
11
Q
other functions of fat
A
- shock absorber
- thermoregulation
- cell membrane
- aids in absorption of some phytochemicals
12
Q
shock absorber
A
pads of fat surround vital internal organs
13
Q
thermoregulation
A
fat pads under the skin insulate the body from temperature extremes
14
Q
cell membranes
A
lipids are a component of cell membrane
15
Q
needed nutrients
A
fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) are found mainly in foods that contain fat
16
Q
essential fatty acids
A
serve as raw materials for other compounds (eicosanoids)
17
Q
fats and pleasure
A
- people naturally like high-fat foods
- fats carry many compounds that give foods pleasant aromas and flavours
- fat makes meat and baked goods tender
18
Q
value of fats
A
the energy density of fats makes foods rich in fat valuable in some situations
- a hunter or hiker = long distances or very cold weather
- potentially unneeded calories if sedentary
19
Q
satiety
A
feeling of fullness or satisfaction that people experience AFTER meals
20
Q
satiation
A
feeling of fullness WHILE eating
21
Q
fat and satiety
A
fat contributes to satiety
- fat in foods triggers a series of physiological events that slow the emptying of stomach and promote satiety
- fat in the SI signals release of CCK
22
Q
3 classes of lipids
A
- triglycerides
- phospholipids
- sterol
23
Q
triglyceride
A
3 fatty acids + glycerol
24
Q
fatty acids
A
organic acids composed of carbon chains of various lengths
- each has an acid end and hydrogens attached to all the carbon atoms of the chain
- differ on the basis of length and degree of saturation (even with the same triglyceride)
25
glycerol
serves as the backbone for triglycerides
26
0 double bonds
saturated fat
27
1 double bond
monounsaturated fat
28
more than 1 double bond
polyunsaturated bond
29
does where the double bond occurs matter?
YES
1. 1st carbon bond on third carbon = omega-3
2. 1st carbon bond on sixth carbon = omega-6
30
what does the degree of saturation affect?
melting temperature
1. more UNSATURATED the fatty acids = the more LIQUID the fat is at room temperature (ex. sunflower oil)
2. the more SATURATED the fatty acids = the FIRMER the fat is at room temperature (ex. lard)
31
chain length - long fatty acids
most common in the diet
- 12-24 carbons
- found in meat, seafood, vegetable oils
32
chain length - medium + short fatty acids
medium: 6-10 carbons
short: less than 6 carbons
- found in mainly dairy products and coconut oil
33
what does decreased carbon chain length mean?
reduced firmness
34
example of chain length and firmness
saturated plant oils such as cocoa butter and palm oil are softer than animal fats due to their shorter chain length
35
health recommendations and fats
1. limit saturated fats and limiting/avoiding trans fats
2. using monounsaturated fats or polyunsaturated fats and instead
***the harder the fat= the poorer the choice (lard=bad)
36
vegetable oils and fish oils
- most are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (safflower, sunflower , corn oil)
- some vegetable oils are rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (olive oil)
37
what fats are the most saturated
animal and tropical fats
1. fatty meats: over 1/3 of fat in most meats is saturated
2. whole-milk products: over 1/2 fat in whole milk and other high-fat dairy products, is saturated
3. coconut and palm oils: mostly used in commercially prepared foods
38
why should you switch monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fats instead of saturated and trans fats?
reduce CVD
39
olive oil
1. rich in monounsaturated fatty acids
2. offers a degree of protection against heart disease when used in place of other fats (mediterranean regions)
40
dark-coloured olive oils
deliver more phytochemicals - less processed
41
what does "light" on olive oil mean?
means color, not nutritional value
42
canola oil
1. rich in both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids
2. lowest in saturated fat
43
hydrogenation
a chemical process by which hydrogens are added to monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fatty acids to reduce the number of double bonds, making the fats more saturated (solid) and more resistant to oxidation
44
disadvantage and advantage of hydrogenation
disadvantage: bad for us
advantage: good for food industry = makes them creamy and last longer
45
how are trans-fatty acids formed?
1. fat is generally partially hydrogenated but some double bonds remain
2. double bonds change from cis to the trans formation
***polyunsaturated fat is rarely hydrogenated completely
46
health claim- disease reduction in fat
a healthy diet low in saturated and trans fats may reduce risk of heart disease
47
advantages of hydrogenation?
1. protects against oxidation by making polyunsaturated fats more saturated (commercial benefit=increased shelf life)
2. alters texture of food making liquid vegetable oils more solid (CB= improves food texture)
3. hydrogenated oils has a higher smoke point = more stable in high cooking temps
48
what does less double bonds mean?
food lasts longer
49
alternatives to hydrogenation
1. add BHA and BHT to react with O2 before it can do damage
2. keep refrigerated (help last longer)
50
partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs)
banned sept 17, 2018
51
phospholipids
2 fatty acids + glycerol + a phosphorus-containing molecule
- fatty acid is soluble in fat and phosphorus is soluble in water
***phospholipids are emulsifiers
52
emulsifier
a substance that mixes both fat and water and disperses the fat in the water, forming an emulsion
ex. oil and vinegar dressing vs mayonnaise (has lecithin)
53
lecithin and other phospholipids
play key roles in structure of cell membranes
54
lecithin supplements
have no special ability to promote health
- body can make all that it needs
- are a fat so provide kcal: digested (lecithinase)
- lecithin is found in eggs and peanuts
55
sterols
large molecules consisting of interconnected rings of carbon atoms with side chains of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen
- present in foods derived from both plants and animals
56
cholesterol
only food derived from animals contain significant amounts of cholesterol
VEGAN = NO CHOLESTEROL
57
phytosterols (plant sterols)
plant-derived compounds that have structural similarities to cholesterol
- they lower blood cholesterol by competing with cholesterol for absorption
ex. seeds and nuts
58
what serves as the precursor for making bile?
cholesterol (a sterol)
59
bile
1. bile is an emulsifier made by liver and store in gallbladder
2. does not digest fats, only emulsifying
3. emulsifies fats allowing contact with enzymes in watery fluids to split the fatty acids from glycerol backbone for absorption
60
other sterols
vitamin D and sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone)
61
sterol (cholesterol)
1. component of cell membrane
2. can be made by the body - not an essential nutrient
3. forms a major part of the plaques that narrow arteries in atherosclerosis
(plaques cause heart attacks and strokes)
62
where is cholesterol manufactured?
the liver
- makes 800-1500mg/day (endogenous production)
- the body makes more cholesterol (endogenous) than what is eaten (exogenous)
63
digestion of fats in the mouth
lingual lipase produced by tongue acts on triglycerides with short and medium chain fatty acids
64
lingual lipase
1. plays a major role in infants (breaks down breast milk)
2. little important to digestion in adults
65
digestion of fat in the stomach
1. strong and muscular - mix fat with stomach contents
2. churning grinds the solid pieces into finer particles and disperses the fat into small droplets
3. gastric lipase breaks doen triglycerides
66
gastric lipase
begins the break down triglycerides
- works best in the acidic environments of the stomach
67
digestion of fats in the SI
1. when fat enters SI, bile is secreted
2. bile emulsifies fat particles, mixing them with watery fluid for contact with fat-digesting enzymes secreted by pancreas for digestion
3. triglycerides are split into monoglycerides, free fatty acids and glycerol
4. these cling together in spheres surrounded by bile
5. bile shuttles lipids across mucus layer to absorptive cells of intestinal villi
6. these cells extract the lipids
7. bile may be absorbed and reused to exit with the feces
68
what if someones gallbladder has been removed?
1. liver still produces bile (small continuous amount in SI)
2. they can no longer store bile and release it at mealtime
69
diet recommendation for those without a gallbladder
lesser fat because they are not able to cope with as much fat at once
70
percentage of triglycerides absorbed after a meal
up to 98% of triglycerides are absorbed from a meal
71
smaller products of lipid digestion
glycerol, short and medium chain fatty acids pass directly through the cells of intestinal lining into bloodstream and into liver
72
larger products of lipid digestion
inside intestinal cells, monoglycerides and long-chain fatty acids are reformed into triglycerides and clustered together with proteins and phospholipids (don't go directly to bloodstream)
73
what do larger products of lipid digestion form before going into bloodstream?
they form chylomicrons
74
chylomicrons
the largest and least dense type of lipoprotein
- acts as a transport vehicle
- travel in the lymph to the bloodstream
- body tissues take triglycerides from chylomicrons in the bloodstream
(ex. muscles, breasts, etc.)
75
what is the different between smaller products of lipid digestion and larger products of lipid digestion?
short and medium-chain fatty acids: go directly into bloodstream
long-chain fatty acids: do not go directly into the bloodstream, require a chylomicron
76
what would happen to large products of lipid digestion without chylomicrons?
without a mechanism to keep dispersed, large lipid globules would separate out of the watery blood and disrupt the bloods normal function
77
lipoproteins
1. clusters of lipids associated with protein
2. serve as transport vehicles for lipids in lymph and blood
78
major lipoproteins
1. chylomicrons
2. VLDL
3. LDL
4. HDL
79
very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL)
carry triglycerides and other lipids made in the liver to body cells for their use
80
low-density lipoproteins (LDL)
1. bad cholesterol
2. transport cholesterol and other lipids to body tissues
3. made from VLDL after they have donated many of their triglycerides to body cells
***WANT THIS TO BE LOW
81
high-density lipoproteins (HDL)
1. good cholesterol
2. carry cholesterol from body cells to the liver for disposal
3. picks up things that could cause plaques
***WANT THIS TO BE HIGH
82
LDL vs HDL
LDL: larger, lighter and richer in cholesterol
- elevated LDL = increased risk of heart disease
HDL: smaller, denser, and packaged more in protein
- elevated HDL = decreased risk of heart disease
83
risk factors that cannot be controlled for heart disease risk
1. increasing age
2. being male (+ women after menopause)
3. family history of premature heart disease
84
risk factors a person can often control for heart disease

2. high BP
3. diabetes
4. obesity
5. physical inactivity
6. smoking
7. atherogenic diet (increased trans fat, low in fruits and veg.)
85
what dietary fats are associated with risk of CVD?
diets high in trans and saturated fats
86
obesity
carries serious risks to health
- high energy density foods (fatty foods) may increase likelihood of exceeding energy needs
87
food cholesterol and blood cholesterol
most saturated food fats and trans fats raise blood LDL cholesterol more than food cholesterol does
- very little cholesterol raises LDL cholesterol
88
genetics and cholesterol
1. many people exhibit little increase in blood cholesterol even with high dietary intake of cholesterol
2. some people response to high dietary cholesterol intake with greatly increased blood cholesterol
3. moderation is key
89
foods that are high sources of cholesterol
1. eggs
2. liver
3. shellfish
90
how do you lower LDL cholesterol?
1. reduce trans fats and saturated fats
2. replace with mono and polyunsaturated fats
3. trim fat off foods to reduce sat fat (choose leaner meats)
4. weight loss
5. addition of soluble fibres
***success is affected by genetics
91
what is not recommended when trying to lower LDL cholesterol?
do not have a very-low fat diet and add more refined carbs
92
oxidation of LDL cholesterol
1. LDL is susceptible to damage by oxidation (interaction of a compound with O2)
2. oxidation of lipid part of LDL can be damaging to arteries of heart
93
what might slow oxidation of LDL?
dietary antioxidants
- vitamins C and E, selenium, antioxidant phytochemicals (eat more plant-based foods)
94
how do you raise HDL cholesterol?
dietary measures are ineffective at significantly raising it
