32
Q

Nutritive carb sweeteners?

A

Sugar substitutes are honey and agave nectar.

Sugar alcohols are sorbitol, xylitol and erythritol

33
Q

Non-nutritive carb sweeteners?

Plant extracts are stevia and monk fruit.

Artificial are aspartame, sucralose and saccharin.

34
Q

Function of lipids?

A

Energy, hormones, cell membrane

9 cal/gram

36
Q

DRI Range of lipid?

A

20-35% of total calories

37
Q

Composition of Lipids?

A

Triglycerides (dietary fat)

Phospholipids (membranes)

Sterols (hormones)

38
Q

Dietary fat sub types of lipids?

A

Saturated (solid)

Monosaturated

Polyunsaturated (liquid)
- Essential fatty acids
- Omega 3 & 6
- Good Ratio 1:4, typical ratio 1:17

Trans fat
-Altered shape when changing from unsaturated to saturated fat

39
Q

Fatty Acid subtypes?

A

SCFA (<6 carbon) (short chain)
- Messengers

MCFA (6-10 carbon) (medium chain)
- Immediate energy

LCFA (>12 carbon) (long chain)
- Energy Storage

40
Q

Digestion enzymes of lipids?

A

Lingual lipase (triglycerides into glycerides), gastric lipase (initiates lipid hydrolysis in stomach), and pancreatic lipase (secreted by pancreas).

41
Q

What are the 3 Blood Lipoproteins in Lipids?

A

HDL, LDL, VLDL

42
Q

What does HDL do?

A

HDL - Transports lipid from tissue to liver

What does LDL do?

A

LDL - Transports cholesterol from liver to tissue

44
Q

What does VLDL do?

A

VLDL - Transports triglycerides from liver to adipose

45
Q

Lipid absorption?

A

Bile needed as an emulsifier for LCFA and VLFCA.

Rate: 48-72 hours

46
Q

Protein function?

52
Q

Complete protein characteristics?

A

Contains all 9 essential amino acids.

Animal meat and few plant sources are complete proteins.

53
Q

Incomplete protein characteristics?

A

Do NOT contain all 9 animo acids.

Most nonmeat sources are incomplete proteins.

54
Q

Complementary protein characteristics?

A

2 or more incomplete proteins when consumed together contain all 9 essential amino acids.

55
Q

Digestion enzymes of proteins?

A

HCL (non at enzyme) denatures protein in stomach.

Pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase, enteropeptidase

56
Q

Absorption of proteins?

A

In individual amino acids, dipeptides and tripeptides.

Rate: 8-10 grams per hour (depending on complexity)
