Polysaccharides - PowerPoint PPT Presentation


Properties and Utilization of Common Polysaccharides in Food Chemistry

Polysaccharides are carbohydrates with more than 10 monosaccharide units, commonly found in foods like starch, cellulose, glycogen, hemicellulose, and pectic substances. Starch, a natural polymer of D-glucose, is a major energy source in the human diet, present in cereals, roots, and tubers. It cons

Understanding the Integration of Carbohydrate, Lipid, and Protein Metabolism

The integration of metabolism involving carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins can be divided into three stages: hydrolysis to simpler units, preparatory stage, and oxidative stage. In the hydrolysis stage, complex polysaccharides, lipids, and proteins are broken down to simpler forms. The preparatory
