Starch
Starch or amylum (formerly known as complex carbohydrates) is a polymeric carbohydrates (long chains of the sugar glucose units joined together by glycosidic bonds) and generally not sweet tasting. • Its chemical behaviour is dependent on the nature of its constituent compounds. The polysaccharide is produced by most green plants as Energy storage. • There are two (2) types of homopolysaccharide/Starch in food whose ratio has an effect on the Glycemic Index (GI) value in some foods. 1) Amylose – A linear chain homopolysaccharide consisting of about 500–2000 glucose units. 2) Amylopectin – A highly branched homopolysaccharide consisting of over 1,000,000 glucose units. General Information & Details Starch • Carbohydrates can be divided into three (3) main categories (sugar, Fiber and Starch) or come in three (3) major forms (glucose, fructose and Fiber). • Glucose and fructose are the only two (2) forms that provide Energy to the body, since Fiber is not digestible by humans but good for the […]

Proteins
Proteins are macronutrients/molecules consisting of one (or several/polypeptide) chains composed of Amino Acids bound together by peptide bounds and easily absorbed by the human-body. Proteins are also biological compound groups (chains of amino-acids molecules connected by peptide bonds) present and participating in every cellular process in every live cell, organ, and tissue of the body acting as basic components of the polymeric structure in the form of enzymes, antibodies, hormones, and much more. • All food groups except fruit and oils provide appreciable amounts of protein. • Proteins ensure the proper health and regrowth of cells if they need to be repaired or replaced. • The RDA for protein for healthy adults aged 19–50 years is 0.8 g/kg/day. General Information & Details More Facts on Protein There are many types of Proteins with each having its own Amino Acids sequence (typically containing hundreds of Amino Acids within Protein chains, bonded across the chain and fold to form three-dimensional structures). Proteins […]

Probiotics & Prebiotics
Probiotics are good bacteria (live cultures) with positive effects in the Digestive System and naturally found fermented foods (Plain Yogurt). Prebiotic (nutrition) are typically non-digestible fiber compounds that selectively stimulates the growth and/or activity of beneficial microorganisms in the large intestine that contribute to the well-being of their host (such as gastrointestinal tract). Criteria needed for a food to be classified as a Prebiotic • They are fermented by the gut flora. • They stimulate the growth of gut bacteria associated with health. • They are resistant to gut acidity. • They are not easily absorbed by the upper gastro-intestinal tract. • They resist hydrolysis by mammalian enzymes. Difference Between Enzymes & Probiotics Enzymes and Probiotics are essential for efficient digestion (critical for good gut health) and overall wellness, but there are significant differences. • Probiotics are living organisms, while Enzymes are non-living Proteins composed of Amino Acids. • Probiotics supplements can enter the gastrointestinal tract and take up residence […]

Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are one of three (3) macronutrients that the body requires daily for proper functioning of body organs and the body’s main source of energy. Compounds believed to be hydrates of carbon, of the general formula Cn(H,0)n. Types of Carbohydrates 1) Starch – Starch is a complex Carbohydrate found in grains legumes and Starchy Vegetables like Potatoes and Corn (Maize). 2) Fiber – Fiber is a complex Carbohydrate with indigestible component (or structural Material categorized into soluble and insoluble). 3) Sugar – Sugar is a simple Carbohydrate or natural sugar in Vegetables, Fruits, Milk, grass and Raw Honey. Classifications of Carbohydrates 1) Monosaccharides 1) Monosaccharides Monosaccharides have 3-9 carbon atoms, although 5 or 6 is most common. • Fructose – Raw Honey, dried fruits (such as Apples, Dates and sultanas), fruit jams, chutney’s, barbecue & Asian Plum sauce, Gherkins, sundried Tomatoes, whole cereals (whole Wheat, Oats), canned fruits (such as Pineapple, Strawberry and Asian Plum), fresh fruits (including Grapes, Apples, […]
