Learning Objective:
INTRODUCTION:
Nutrients are substances required by the body to perform its basic functions. Most nutrients must
be obtained from our diet, since the human body does not synthesize or produce them. Nutrients
have one or more of three basic functions: they provide energy, contribute to body structure,
and/or regulate chemical processes in the body. These basic functions allow us to detect and
respond to environmental surroundings, move, excrete wastes, respire (breathe), grow, and
reproduce.
There are six classes of nutrients required for the body to function and maintain overall health.
These are: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, water, vitamins, and minerals. Nutritious foods
provide nutrients for the body. Foods may also contain a variety of non-nutrients. Some non-
nutrients such as antioxidants (found in many plant foods) are beneficial to the body, whereas
others such as natural toxins (common in some plant foods) or additives (like certain dyes and
preservatives found in processed foods) are potentially harmful.
Sources of Carbohydrates
Plants are the world’s original source of carbohydrates. They form glucose in the process
of photosynthesis and from glucose manufacture other carbohydrates, such as fructose, sucrose,
maltose, strach, dextrins, and fibers. Animals, using plant carbohydrates as food, produce
glycogen and lactose or convert complex carbohydrates to such simple sugars as glucose to
galactose.
Strach is found principally in sugar cane, sugar beets, and maple syrup; lactose is found
in milk; fructose in fruits. In some instances, strach changes to sugar, as when fruit ripens. In
other instances, sugar may change to strach, for example, in sweet corn after it is picked or in
potatoes stored at too cold a temperature.
Function of Carbohydrates
As indicated earlier, the chief function of carbohydrate in the body is to supply energy.
There has been no specific Recommended Dietary Allowance for carbohydrate because it can be
made in the body from some amino acids and from the glycerol of fats.
Can result in an excessive loss of the minerals, especially sodium and potassium, in the
urine and can also lead to involuntary dehydration. Carbohydrates are also an essential source of
energy for the central nervous system.
What is Fiber?
Plant constituent’s resistant to digestion by secretions of the human gastrointestinal tract
make up the compounds known collectively as fiber. While they are not broken down by the
digestive juices of humans, some fibers may be absorbed to some extent, however, because they
are partially digested by intestinal bacteria.
The different types of fiber include:
1. Those found in the cell walls of plants (cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin, and lignin.)
2. Non-cell-wall fibers, including plant gums (gum Arabic, agar, and mucilage.)
Sources of Fiber
Since the interest in fiber is relatively recent, and analytical methods for obtaining data
on fiber content are complicated and expensive, data on the fiber content of foods are limited and
Effects of Fiber
The water-binding capacity of fibers is one of the main reasons why fiber help prevent
constipation. By binding water, fibers increase stool bulk and make it soft so it moves through
the intestine quickly and without increased pressure.
The effect of fiber on blood cholesterol varies with the kind of fiber. Pectin, lignin,
carrageen, Metamucil, and foods such as rolled oats, legumes, and locust bean reduce cholesterol
levels.
Fiber reduces the absorption efficiency of the small intestine by reducing the time it takes
for food to move through the intestine. Because fiber reduces absorption efficiency, because it
requires more chewing and may cause a person to eat less, and because bulky fibrous foods tend
to be low in calories, high-fiber diets may be helpful in a weight control diet, even though they
have very low satiety value.
Starchy Foods is the name given to foods in bread and cereal group. The solid material in breads
and cereals, 70 to 80 percent is starch, while 7.5 to 19 percent is protein because their relatively
low cost, the foods in this group, which include not only breads and breakfast cereals, but also
rice, corn meal, hominy, crackers, rolls, tortillas, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti, noodles, cakes,
and cookies are an inexpensive source of energy and protein.
Nutrients provided by this food group include iron, niacin, and thiamin and lesser amounts of
riboflavin and trace minerals. Whole grains and bran are good source of fiber. Nutrients not
found in this food group are vitamins C and A and calcium is present in only small amounts. The
protein is not complete because it is limited in the amino acids lysine and tryptophan. When milk
solids, soy solids or peanut flour are added to products made from cereals, the protein value
improves foods supply like lysine and tryptophan and the additional amounts of calcium.
Starchy Foods are high in calories; dieters frequently omit or cut way back on foods in this
group. It can be result in deficiencies of iron, niacin, and thiamin as well as carbohydrate.
Cereal Grains
The most popular cereal grains used for consumption as cereals and as ingredients in breads and
pasta are wheat, rice, oats, corn, rye, and barley. All are the seeds of grasses, and each type of
seed has a structure.
The outer layer, or hull, is coarse and inedible; under it is the fibrous bran layer, which is rich in
iron and B vitamins. Next is the aleurone layer which contains protein, niacin and iron. The
white starchy endosperm, which contains some protein but less of the other nutrients. The
Refined cereals do not contain the phytates, or phytic acid, but found in the whole grains which
bind minerals such as iron, calcium and zinc. They also stay fresh longer. The germ portion of
whole wheat cereals, which contains fat does not keep well since the fat tends to turn rancid in
storage.
The nutrition-labeling law requires that when a product is enriched, the full nutrition statement
must be included on the label.
Bread Products
A form of bread is found in many cultures of the world because man can easily grow and store
grains and by simple processes turn them into bread. The raised or leavened bread, which
Wheat Flour is preferable for making leavened bread because it contains the protein gluten,
which becomes elastic when mixed with water and is developed through stirring and kneading.
The elasticity of gluten allows the bread dough to rise. Baking coagulates or sets the gluten so
the dough holds its shape. Whole wheat flour tends to yield a more compact, solid bread because
the proportion of gluten is lower than in white flour.
Two gums, xanthan gum and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, have been found to serve as
effective substitutes for gluten in doughs and batters made from rice flour, starch, soybean
protein, and other non-gluten flours.
The most popular bread in the United States is white enriched bread. Nutrient value is improved
if non-fat milk solids are added (at the rate of two to six percent per pound)
Whole wheat bread must be made from 100 percent whole wheat flour but this is less commonly
sold than wheat bread or cracked wheat bread. Breads made from half white and half whole
wheat flour have a lighter texture than those made with whole wheat because of the higher gluten
content.
Popular with dieters is diet-bread, which usually added protein and ingredients such as honey,
seeds, and vegetable flours.
Lower calorie is high-fiber bread which contains cellulose, usually produced from wood pulp.
The cellulose reduces the proportion of pother ingredients and thereby does reduce the number of
calories per slice by about one-third. The wood pulp is a purified plant fiber that is accepted for
use by the Food and Drug Administration. It is listed on the label as “powdered cellulose”
(fiber).
Most white wheat flour has been bleached before being made into bread or packaged as flour.
Bleaching is a natural oxidation process that takes place as flour is stored and improves its
Stone Ground is ground by steel grinders is more nutritious. As a result, they are willing to pay a
higher price for stone ground flour and bread made with this flour and get less nutrition for their
money.
Homemade bread costs about half as much per ounce as purchased bread and can be improved
nutritionally by adding such ingredients such as nonfat dry milk, whole wheat flour, wheat germ,
soy flour, oatmeal, or bran. Because it is usually more compact than purchased bread, each slice
is heavier and provides more nutrients and calories.
Breakfast Cereals provide a quick, easy, and nutritious. A breakfast consisting of fruit, a bowl
of cereal with milk, toast, and some milk to drink.
You can choose cereals that are:
To be cooked and served hot-long cooking, quick-cooking, and instant.
Ready to eat and served cold- flaked, puffed, granular, and shredded.
Made of corn, wheat, oats, rice, barley- alone or in combination
Made of whole grains or refined grains
Made of just cereal or of cereal plus ingredients such as sugar, oil, dry milk, soy protein, dry
fruit, malt, salt, and other flavorings as well as preservatives.
Enriched with minerals and vitamins such as the iron and B vitamins lost in milling.
Super enriched (fortified) with minerals and vitamins to the point that you are getting what
amounts to a vitamin pill with your cereal
Packaged in varied sizes from “large economy” to convenient, small, individual servings.
Guidelines for choosing cereals to obtain the best nutritional value include the ingredient list, the
nutrition label, and the price.
Ingredients List. Ingredients must be listed on labels in order of predominance by weight, look
for nutritious ingredients such as whole grains, bran, wheat germ, soy protein, and non-fat milk
to see if they are near the top of the list. Then look for sugar in all its varied forms: sucrose,
white sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup solids, molasses, honey, etc. The product may contain more
sugar than cereal if sugar is listed first, or if several types of sugar are used even though a form
Nutrition Information Statement. This provides the basis for comparing the nutrients in one brand
of cereal with those in another.
Price. By dividing the price of the package by the number of servings it contains (as listed on the
nutrition statement), you can determine the price per serving. In general, the cereals that offer the
most food value for the least cost are the whole grain cereals that are to be cooked, such as rolled
oats, toasted or cracked or rolled wheat, and unrefined cornmeal. Also, good choices are the to-
be-cooked, milled, enriched cereals such as farina, cream of rice, and degermed cornmeal. The
ready-to-eat cereals, the best values are those with the least amount of sugar and fat, those made
with whole grains, and those having nutritious added ingredients such as soy protein, dry milk,
wheat germ, bran, or raisins. Cereals which provide the least nutrition for the money are those
sold in small individual serving-size packages and the heavily sugared cereals.
Rice
Rice is the mainstay of life for about one billion of the world’s people. Many varieties are eaten,
but the most common in the United States are the short grain, which when cooked is tender,
moist, and sticky; the medium grain, which is similar to short grain when cooked; and the long
grain, which is firm and dry when cooked and has kernels that do not cling together.
Rice is milled to remove bran and husk so only the white portion of the kernel remains. The
kernels are washed, cleaned, graded, polished, and finally enriched by coating them with
thiamin, niacin, and iron, using 1 part of each to each 200 parts of rice. Riboflavin is not added in
Brown rice is the whole grain with only the outer hush and a small amount of the bran removed.
It has a nutlike flavor, is slightly chewy, and requires more water and longer cooking than
regular white rice. Brown rice is not enriched since it contains the natural nutrient of the whole
grain.
Cooking time is reducing to 5 to 10 minutes. The precooked, dehydrated rice has an expanded
volume but a lighter weight than raw rice. It requires less water and yields a much smaller
amount of rice per measure of dry rice. Package sizes are deceiving, and it is necessary to
compare prices between raw and pre-cooked rice on the basis of cost per cooked serving. A
nutrition label will list the number of servings of cooked rice per package.
Canned and frozen varieties of rice maybe even more convenient since they need only to be
reheated. They cost more than precooked rice because you’re paying for water as well as
convenience when you buy them and you receive less nutrition for your money when you choose
the more convenient, time-saving forms.
Some requires enrichment of pasta products with thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, and iron. Such
products will be labeled “enriched” and have a nutrition statement of the label. Macaroni
enriched with fortified protein is now marketed in some areas. This type of pasta is fortified with
protein, usually in the form of soy flour and/or nonfat dry milk solids. The ingredient list will
show what has been added. Noodles are often labeled “egg noodles”, but the amount of egg
added is not enough to make a significant difference in the protein content.
Noodles is about twice as costly as spaghetti or macaroni. When buying the prepared pasta mixes
for main dishes and casseroles, to which you add protein food such as meat or tuna, you pay a
high price for the pasta, compared to buying it plain and adding your own seasonings. These
FATS
Fat is a food of the affluent people and cultures of the world. Economically deprived people are
less likely to consume fat-rich foods such as meat and dairy products and more likely to consume
low-fat plant foods such as grains and vegetables. Consider this contrast: in affluent America, the
average person may get 40 to 45 percent of his calories from fats, while in the Orient, the
average person may get only 10 percent of his calories from fats.
This high-fat diet doesn't make Americans healthier, however. Excess fat in our diets can make
us overweight and may contribute to the development of diseases such as coronary heart disease,
diabetes, and cancer. Most recommendations for changes in the American diet to make it more
healthful call for the reduction of fat consumption to 30 or 35 percent of calories.
With all the publicity about the hazards of our high-fat diet, we should not get the idea that fat is
something we can get along without, however. We need fat because it performs important
functions in our bodies, but we don't need as much fat as most of us ingest.

Because fats are digested more slowly than other nutrients, they tend to slow down the digestion
process. Thus a meal high in fat has high satiety value: it makes us feel satisfied longer than a
meal having little fat.
The fats we eat carry with them other essential nutrients: most particularly the fat-soluble
vitamins A, D, E, and K. Fat itself contains an essential fatty acid, linoleic acid, which our bodies
must have and must obtain from food because we cannot synthesize it. Two other fatty acids,
linolenic and arachidonic, are also necessary, but can be made in the body from other fats. We
need linoleic acid for growth and well being, but the amount needed is so small-2 percent of total
Exhibit 8.2. (Source: 1977 Handbook of Agricultural Charts. U.S. Dept. of Agriculture,
Handbook No. 524, Washington, D.C., p. 52).
glycerides, two fatty acids; and triglycerides, three fatty acids, as illustrated in Exhibit 8.3. About
98 percent of the fats in foods are triglycerides; this is the most common form of fat in the body
as well. Monoglycerides and diglycerides may be used as food additives (you will see them listed
on labels) to stabilize and emulsify the fats. They are also formed in the body as breakdown
products of triglycerides during the digestive process.
Fatty acids are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and a small amount of oxygen. There are 12
common fatty acids and they vary in the amount of carbon and hydrogen which they contain. A
fatty acid with a small number of carbon atoms (4 to 6) is called a short-chain fatty acid; one
with many carbon atoms (more than 12) is a long-chain fatty acid; and those in between, with 8
to 12 carbon atoms, are medium-chain fatty acids. The length of the carbon chain can affect
digestibility. For example, infants are better able to digest short- or medium-chain fatty acids
than long-chain fatty acids.
The terms saturated and unsaturated are used to describe the hydrogen component of fats. When
a fatty acid has all the hydrogen atoms attached to it that it can hold, it is called a saturated fatty
This is the process used to make vegetable shortening or margarine from vegetable oils. If the
polyunsaturated fatty acids are only partially hydrogenated they will still be able to hold more
hydrogen and will be less solid than the fully hydrogenated fats.
Research evidence indicates that saturated fats may cause our bodies to form cholesterol and
raise the level of cholesterol in the blood. Polyunsaturated fats, on the other hand, appear to have
the opposite effect and lower blood cholesterol. Monounsaturated fats are believed to have a
neutral effect on blood cholesterol. High-blood cholesterol lev els are believed to be related to
the development of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease (Chapter 19). This belief has led
to the recommendation by some authorities that our diets should have a ratio of un saturated fats
to saturated fats of 2 to 1. or that polyunsaturated, mon ounsaturated, and saturated fats each
supply about one-third of the total fat in the diet (see Dietary Goals, Chapter 18). To meet this
rec ommendation, most Americans would have to reduce their use of meats and whole-milk
dairy products and increase their intake of poultry, fish, and vegetable oils. (Suggestions for
reducing animal fat intake can be found in Chapter 19.)
Two other fatlike substances obtained from food that we also can synthesize in our bodies are
phospholipids and sterols.
DIGESTION OF FATS
Contrary to the belief that “Fat is hard to digest” food fat is easily and completely
digested by the normal person. Fat digestion may be less complete in conditions where
food moves rapidly through the intestines, for example, if a person has diarrhea or uses
laxatives , or where the production of bile and fat-splitting enzymes, called lipases.
Lipases or lipase is an enzyme that breaks down triglycerides into free fatty acids and
glycerol. Lipases are present in pancreatic secretions and are responsible for fat digestion.
Lipases are enzymes that play a crucial role in lipid transport.
All glycerides consist of a glycerol molecule and one or more fatty acid chains:
The main digestion of fats takes place in the small intestine. Bile and pancreatic juice mix
with the food (chyme) as it moves through the duodenum. The bile emulsifies the no
emulsified fats so they can be acted upon the pancreatic and intestinal lipases. These
enzymes split the triglycerides into diglycerides, monoglycerides and finally into free
fatty acids and glycerol.
METABOLISM OF FATS
The most active form of fats in the blood is the small amount of free fatty acids that are
always present and bound to plasma albumin.
The other fatty substances in the blood, triglycerides, phospholipids, and cholesterol are
combined with protein into large water-soluble lipoprotein molecules.
Lipoprotein comes into two basic types: High density (HDL) having more protein than
fat and low density, having more fat than protein.
The low-density lipoprotein is subdivided into two types also: Low density (LDL) and
very low density (VLDL).
When energy is needed in the body, triglycerides are
broken down (hydrolized) In fat cells into free fatty
acids. The fatty acids enter the blood, are attached to
plasma albumin and are transported into body cells
The breakdown of fatty acids takes place in the portion
of the cells called Mitochondria.
Throughout digestion, absorption and metabolism of
fats, hormones are involved and triggering and
controlling the body responses. The glycerol also follows a different path as it is
metabolized and it will transformed in to cytoplasm portion of the cell into an
intermediate compound that can use to make glucose or can be oxidized to carbon
dioxide and water for energy
Both fats and carbohydrates are made up of the same three elements: Carbon, hydrogen
and oxygen.
The consumption of fats in the United states has been increasing steadily over the years,
and the proportion of fats from animal sources has been decreasing while the amount of
vegetable sources has been increasing. Therefore, they could be too high for many people who
carefully trim away the fat on meat and poultry products, drained from cooked bacon and ground
beef, remove fat from meat drippings before making gravy and generally do not eat all the fat
they buy. In terms of energy content, weight for weight all pure fats are alike and provide about
22t5 calories per ounce. But when fats are measured by volume, than weight, there are calorie
differences between solid fats and liquid oils, since a liquid measure of oils weights slightly more
than a solid measure of fats.
Starches are protein. Persons on weight controls diet will make their biggest calorie savings
by cutting down on fats, in doing so they will also save money, since high fat-foods are,
in general also the highest priced foods.
Fats are the most concentrated form of energy of all the nutrients, they also serve the
body by cushioning vital organs: insulating against cold, carrying fat-soluble vitamins,
working in tandem with other nutrients in a variety of functions and providing an
essential fatty acids.
Limoleic acid also satiety value to meals.
A proteins molecule is made up of various amino acids just as a freight train is make up of
different freight cars coupled with universal linkage than just straight chain. They may form
spheres or globules, or the chains may form folded, sheet like arrangements, for example:
Like carbohydrates and fats, proteins contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. But they always
contain nitrogen as well (and sometimes other elements such as sulfur, phosphorous, iron,
iodine)
The nitrogen that makes protein different from fats and carbohydrates is the most common
element on earth, making up about 80% of the air we breathe. But animals, including humans are
unable to capture this free nitrogen and turn it into proteins. We get protein from plants. Plants
When carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen combine to form Amino acids the basic protein
units, they always have two special combinations of elements
1. Free carboxyl group- It is consisting of the one atom of carbon, two atoms of oxygen
and one atom of hydrogen (CO-OH)
2. Free amino group- which has one atom of nitrogen, and two atoms of hydrogen (NH2)
The protein value received from foods differs in quality and quantity, defending on several
factors:
1. The amount of protein the food contains
2. How effectively our body can use the protein
If a meat has no animal foods, we need to eat a combination of plant food so that the amino acids
that are limited in one food are supplied in another. The charts above is showing the limited
amino acids in popular plant proteins as well as those that are found abundantly in these foods.
Using that charts it’s easy to see how plant proteins complement one another and how they
should be combined.
Some good combinations of complementary plant proteins
Vegetarians especially those who eat no animal foods at all, must plan their meals carefully so as
the to be sure to include complementary plants protein in every meal.
A better name for the group is “protein group” since it includes many foods other than meat,
such as egg, poultry, fish and legumes. While proteins is the most important nutrient we get from
the group these foods are also a major supplier of the other key nutrients.
Fat and water are the two major variables in animal foods, with rawest products having 50 to 60
Fat may be distributed among the muscle fibers (called marbling) or deposited as an exterior
covering.
AGES:
Younger animals have less fats.
BREED:
Hogs genetically are fatter than other animals, but new breeds on the market are almost
as low in fat as some beef animals.
GRADE:
. Top grade beef animals are "finished" by grain feeding, which results in higher fat
content; lower grade animals often are simply grass fed.
EXAMPLE: For a comparison of the fat and calorie content of some popular
meat cuts see Exhibit 9.17. With fish, the fat and water content varies by species. The
lean varieties have much less fat than meat and many fewer calories. Calories in the leanest
species, such as crab and scallops, may be just 100 or less per three and one-half-ounce serving,
compared to 220 for the same amount of lean beef. Calories for other fish range from 130 to 200
per Serving.
Most fish and shellfish fall into the low-fat, high-protein group.
These products have less than 5 percent fat and more than 15 percent protein. Included in
this group are tuna, halibut, cod, flounder, hand-dock, ocean perch, whiting, crab, scallops,
shrimp, and lobster. The fat content of many fish in this class is closer to zero than to 5 percent.
Oysters and clams have a fat content of less than 5 percent and a protein content of less than 15
percent, with water being the other major component.
Most fish and shellfish fall into the low-fat, high-protein group. These products have less than 5
percent fat and more than 15 percent protein. Included in this group are tuna, halibut, cod,
flounder, haddock, ocean perch, whiting, crab, scallops, shrimp, and lobster. The fat content of
many fish in this class is closer to zero than to 5 percent.
Medium-fat, high-protein fish are those with 5 to 15 percent fat 191 and more than 15 percent
protein. Included in this group are anchovies, Supermarket herring, mackerel, salmon, and
sardines. Only a few fish are in the high-fat, low-protein group—those that contain more than 15
percent fat and less than 15 percent protein. Fish in this category include certain kinds of lake
trout and, during particular seasons, herring, mackerel, and sardines.
The method of preparation has an important effect on the fat and calorie content of foods in the
meat group. In broiling and roasting, fat drips out during cooking, whereas in frying, especially if
a breaded coating is added, fat may be absorbed. Much fat can be drained off ground beef when
it's cooked in crumbled form for casseroles and other dishes.
While the protein value of animal foods is similar, there are notable
differences in the degree of saturation of their fats. The fat of beef, pork,
and lamb contains 44 to 54 percent of the saturated fatty acids palmitic
and stearic, 41 to 48 percent of the monounsaturated fatty acid oleic,
and only 2 to 10 percent of the polyunsaturated fatty acid linoleic. Beef
is higher in saturated fats than pork or lamb.

The animal foods in this group are the costliest of all foods to produce since animals are used as
"middlemen" to process the foods they are fed into food for people. It is much more efficient for
people to eat food directly.
Of all the protein foods, eggs are the most nearly perfect in terms of amino acid content for
human needs. Egg protein is the yardstick against which all other protein foods are measured.
The protein-to-fat ratio (that is, the amount of protein you get in proportion to fat) is higher in
eggs than in meat. Egg yolks are a good source of biologically available iron and vitamin A as
well as the B vitamins thiamin and riboflavin. While their water content is higher than that of
