Disaccharides Disaccharides Disaccharides Maltose Glucose glucose alpha acetal Slides: 28 Download presentation Disaccharides Disaccharides Disaccharides - Maltose • Glucose + glucose; alpha acetal linkage Lactose Lactose • Galactose + glucose; beta acetal linkage Sucrose Sucrose • Glucose + fructose; alpha acetal linkage Sucrose Polysaccharides Polysaccharides Starch and amylopectin • Alpha acetal linkage Starch and amylopectin • Alpha acetal linkage Starch and amylopectin • Alpha acetal linkage Cellulose • Beta acetal linkages; Plant structures Cellulose • Beta acetal linkages; Plant structures Glycogen • Alpha acetal linkages; mammal storage form Blood Glucose Test • Oxidation of aldehyde --> acid Starch Iodine Test • Iodine goes into the spiral of starch Sugar and Tooth Decay • Bacteria hydrolyze sucrose to fructose and polymerize the glucose to stick to enamel. High Fructose Corn Syrup • Starch hydrolyzed, glucose isomerized to fructose High Fructose Corn Syrup • Starch hydrolyzed, glucose isomerized to fructose Sugar and Sweetners • Aspartame Synthesis: Ester and Amide Sugar and Sweetners • Aspartame and Sweetness Receptor Site Sugar and Sweetners • Aspartame and Sweetness Receptor Site Sugar and Sweetners • Saccharin or Sweet’N Low - 1907 Sugar and Sweetners • Cyclamate - 1970 banned from use - caused bladder cancer in rats. Sugar and Sweetners • Sucralose or Splenda - can be used in cooking Sugar and Sweetners • Acesulfame-K - also known as Sunette, Sweet One, Sweet 'n Safe
