• Carbohydrates are generally defined as
polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones or
substances that yield these compounds
when hydrolyzed. H

Classification
of
Carbohydrates
6
A carbohydrate can be classified
as:
1.monosaccharide
2.disaccharide
3.oligosaccharide
4.polysaccharide
7
Monosaccharides
• A monosaccharide is a carbohydrate that
cannot be hydrolyzed to simpler
carbohydrate units.
• The monosaccharide is the basic
carbohydrate unit of cellular metabolism.
8
Disaccharides
• A disaccharide yields two
monosaccharides – either alike or
different – when hydrolyzed:
H+ or
disaccharide + water 2 monosaccharides
enzymes
9
Monosaccharides & Disaccharides
• Disaccharides are often used by plants or
animals to transport monosaccharides from
one cell to another.
• The monosaccharides and disaccharides
generally have the ending –ose – for example,
glucose, sucrose, and lactose.
• These are water-soluble carbohydrates, which
have a characteristically sweet taste and are
called sugars.
10
Oligosaccharides
• An oligosaccharide has two to six
monosaccharide units linked together.
11
Polysaccharides
• A polysaccharide is a macromolecular substance
that can be hydrolyzed to yield many
monosaccharide units:
H+ or
polysaccharide + water monosaccharides
enzymes
14
Importance of Carbohydrates
1. Carbohydrates are very effective
energy-yielding nutrients.
2. Carbohydrates can serve as very
effective building materials.
3. Carbohydrates are important water-
soluble molecules.
15
Monosaccharides
16
Monosaccharides
• The hexose monosaccharides are the most
important carbohydrate sources of cellular
energy.
• Three hexoses – glucose, galactose, and
fructose – are of major significance in
nutrition.
– All three have the same formula, C6H12O6, and
thus deliver the same amount of cellular energy.
– They differ in structure, but are biologically
interconvertible.
17
• Glucose (dextrose) is the most important of
the monosaccharides.
• It is an aldohexose and is found in the free
state in plant and animal tissue.

• Galactose is also an aldohexose and
occurs, along with glucose, in lactose and
in many oligo- and polysaccharides such
as pectin and gums. CHO

that occurs in fruit juices, honey, and along
with glucose, as a constituent of sucrose.

Epimers
• Any two monosaccharides that differ
only in the configuration around a
single carbon atom are called epimers.
• D- and L-glyceraldehyde are epimers.

Mutarotation

28
Anomers
• When two cyclic isomers differ only
in their stereo arrangement about the
carbon involved in mutarotation, they
are called anomers.

Hemiacetals and
Acetals
31
• Cyclic structures of monosaccharides are
intramolecular hemiacetals.
• Five- or six-membered rings are especially
stable.

Glycoside
• When a monosaccharide hemiacetal reacts with
an alcohol, the product is an acetal.
• In carbohydrate terminology, this acetal
structure is called a glycoside.

Redox Test for Carbohydrates

Starch
• Starch is found in plants, mainly in the seeds,
roots, or tubers.
• Corn, wheat potatoes, rice and cassava are the
chief sources of dietary starch.
• The two main components of starch are
amylose and amylopectin.
– Amylose molecules are unbranched chains
composed of about 25-1300 -D-glucose units
joined by -1,4-glycosidic linkages.

Glycogen
• Glycogen is the energy-storage carbohydrate of
the animal kingdom.
• It is formed by the polymerization of glucose
and is stored in the liver and in muscle tissues.
• Structurally, it is very similar to the
amylopectin fraction of starch, except that it is
more highly branched.
• The -1,6-glycosidic linkages occur on one of
every 12-18 glucose units.
52
Cellulose
• Cellulose is the most abundant organic
substance found in nature.
• It is the chief structural component of
plants and wood.
