Carbohydrates: Dietary Sources and Requirements

2.6K
Carbohydrates are predominantly obtained from plant sources. With the exception of lactose found in milk and insignificant glycogen amounts in meat, most consumed carbohydrates have plant origins. Monosaccharides and disaccharides, or sugars, can be sourced from fruits, honey, milk, sugar cane, and sugar beets. Grains and vegetables are rich in the polysaccharide starch. Two types of polysaccharides provide fiber: cellulose, which is abundant in many vegetables, forms undigestible roughage or...

Carbohydrate Metabolism01:36

Carbohydrate Metabolism

10.5K
Carbohydrates are polymers composed of molecules containing atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. One gram of carbohydrate can provide four kilo-calories of energy, which makes it the most efficient instant energy source.
Starch accounts for approximately 60% of the carbohydrates consumed by humans. Since amylase enzymes cannot function in the stomach's acidic environment, starch can only be digested in the mouth and small intestine. Simple sugars are found naturally in milk and fruits in...

Production of Organic Acids

111
Lactic acid, an important organic acid extensively applied in food, pharmaceutical, and biodegradable polymer industries, is primarily produced via microbial fermentation. This method is favored over chemical synthesis due to its environmental sustainability and capacity for enantiomerically pure product formation. Among various microbial processes, the fermentation of starch-based substrates stands out due to the abundance and renewability of raw materials like corn and potatoes.Hydrolysis of...

Mineral, Vitamin and Water Absorption

2.2K
Electrolytes are essential minerals and ions primarily obtained from the diet and absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract. Most electrolytes are absorbed in the small intestine. While the absorption of iron and calcium primarily occurs in the duodenum, calcium is also absorbed in the jejunum and ileum. In these regions, passive diffusion contributes to its absorption alongside active transport mechanisms in the duodenum. These ions can exit the enterocytes through specialized active...

Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.

Microbes in the Production of Fermented Foods

340
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and molds are instrumental in fermenting plant-based foods to enhance preservation and ensure year-round availability. These microbial processes convert plant carbohydrates into organic acids and other metabolites that inhibit spoilage organisms and contribute to the sensory qualities of the final product.In sauerkraut production, cabbage goes through a microbial succession that starts with cocci such as Leuconostoc mesenteroides. These microbes begin fermentation by...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Care
  • Humanitarian Aid
  • International Relations

Background:

  • Syrian casualties were admitted to Israeli hospitals due to ongoing conflict.
  • Nurses initially faced uncertainty in treating patients from perceived 'enemy countries'.
  • Patients arrived with limited medical information and no family support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To document the experiences of Israeli nurses caring for Syrian wounded.
  • To explore the development of relationships between caregivers and patients in a sensitive geopolitical context.

Main Methods:

  • A bedside nurse's personal account of caring for a Syrian casualty.
  • Observation of patient admission and care in intensive care units and emergency rooms.

  • Nurses overcame initial apprehension and established communication with Syrian patients.
  • Unexpected relationships formed between Israeli nurses and Syrian casualties.
  • The study highlights the human element transcending political divides in healthcare settings.

Conclusions:

  • Israeli nurses demonstrated compassion and adaptability in caring for Syrian wounded.
  • Humanitarian care can foster connections even between individuals from conflicting nations.
  • The experience underscores the importance of empathy in nursing, irrespective of political circumstances.
