Document Summary

Figure h4-1: macronutrients available per capita over time. Plants: starch (amylopectin and amylose) & fibre glycogen. Glycoprotein: covalent link between protein and a carbohydrate monomer. Sugar alcohols: derived from monosaccharides, used as a sweetener (sorbitol made from glucose) . sweetens sugarless gum. Oligosaccharides: 3-9 cho monomers: considered to be a complex carbohydrate. Examples: raffinose: galactose, glucose, and fructose, stachyose: 2 galactose, glucose, fructose, found in dry beans, peas, lentils, fermentation. Tubers: potatoes, yams, cassava (toxic in raw form) Fibre (g: iceberg lettuce (1 cup) 55 grams, baked potato with skin (0. 5 cup) . 61 grams: medium sized fresh tomato 123 grams, medium sized apple with skin . <1: watermelon (1 cup) 152 grams.
