Document Summary

Summary: carbohydrates are organic compounds containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen with the general formula, cn(h2o)n, monosaccharides are the building blocks of carbohydrates. In addition to being sweet, the simple sugars perform numerous other functions in foods: complex sugars include polysaccharides. These compounds are not sweet because of their large size, but have important roles in foods, including thickening and gel formation: carbohydrates have a caloric value of 4 cal/g. The exception is fiber, which are polysaccharides found in the cell walls of plant tissues, which are not digested. Introduction: organic compounds containing ________, hydrogen, and ___________ Carbo" (c) + hydrate" (h2o: cn(h2o)n, simple sugars , naturally present in _______, use to make ________ and desserts, ____ calories/gram, complex carbohydrates, starch, 4 calories/gram, fiber in fruits and vegetables, frequently not digestible, ____ cal/g.

Structure: monosaccharides building blocks of all carbohydrates, disaccharides 2 monosaccharides, polysaccharides thousands of monosaccharides.
