Obtained from the ripe berries of the mountain ash, Sorbus aucuparia Linne, Fam. Rosaceae
SORBITOL
Sorbus aucuparia Linne, Fam
Rosaceae
SORBITOL Prepared from glucose by (blank) or (blank)
hydrogenation, electrolyte reduction
Most sorbitol is made from _____ and _____
corn syrup and an isomer of mannitol
A _____ sugar alcohol
hexahydric
is not absorbed on oral ingestion and is not metabolized readily that’s why it is a useful ingredient in toothpastes, chewing gums, and various dietetic products
Has humectant properties
is any substance that promotes the retention of water; used to keep a food product moist.
Humectant
Use in urologic irrigation in combination of mannitol
Humectant
Galactooligosaccharides
OLIGOSACCHARIDES
Synthesized through enzymatic connection of lactose
OLIGOSACCHARIDES
Comprised of chain units of galactose group through consecutive transgalactosylation reaction which the degree of polymerization ranging from 2-8 monomeric units
OLIGOSACCHARIDES
They are complex glycans that can be found in breastmilk
Human Milk Oligosaccharides(HMO)
The backbone of HMO is the _____ which is formed by the linkage between galactose and glucose sugars
disaccharide lactose
Plants with large amounts of Oligosaccharides
1. Chicory root
2. Jerusalem artichokes
3. Onions
4. Legumes
5. Wheat
6. Asparagus
7. Jicama
are polymeric CHO molecules composed of long chains of monosaccharide units bound together by glycosidic bond and on hydrolysis give the constituent monosaccharides or oligosaccharides
POLYSACCHARIDES
They range in structure from
linear to highly branched.
is a covalent bond that joins a CHO molecule to another which may or may not be a CHO.
Glycosidic link
Examples of Polysaccharides
1. Starch
2. Inulin
3. Dextran
4. Cellulose
• Contains only a single type of monosaccharide. Ex. long chain of glucose
Homopolysaccharide
