CARBOHYDRATEGENERAL INTRODUCTION AND CLASSIFICATTION
CARBOHYDRATESCarbohydrates are defined as, Molecules consist of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. It is a major food source and a key form of energy for most organisms. They are often called as saccharides.
By chemical definition….
Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy alcohols (OH) with potentially active carbonyl group, which may either be aldehyde (H C O) or ketone (C O)
general formula Cn(H2O)n.

EXTRACTION OF CARBOHYDRATE
DEFINITION OF EXTRACTION
The action of extracting something, especially using effort or force.
METHOD OF EXTRACTION OF CARBOHYDRATES
The methods used for isolating carbohydrates depend on the carbohydrate type, matrix, and purpose or type of analysis.
A commonly used method for extracting low molecular weight carbohydrates from foods is
to boil a sample with a 70-80% alcohol solution.
Monosaccharides and oligosaccharides are soluble in alcohol solutions; however, most proteins, polysaccharides and dietary fiber are insoluble.
The soluble components can then be separated from the insoluble components by filtering, soluble portion passes through the filter and the insoluble part retained by the filter.
The two fractions can then be dried using lyophilization.
In addition, monosaccharides and oligosaccharides and various other small molecules (e.g. organic acids, amino acids) may be present in the alcoholic extract. It is usually necessary to remove those components prior to carrying out a carbohydrate analysis, for example, with clarifying agents.
If necessary before analysis of the carbohydrates, residual alcohol (or other organic solvents) can be removed.

starch
SYNONYM: Amylum
BIOLOGICAL SOURCE:
Roots/tuber:PotatoesArrowroot Cereal:CornWheatRice
GEOGRAPHICAL SOURCE:Commercially starch is produced in: U.S.A Argentina India China JapanOther Tropical & sub tropical countries.
PREARATION:Various procedures are used to
prepare a particular starch.
PREPARATION
RICE STARCH
WHEAT STARCH
POTATO STARCH
MAIZE STARCH
PREPARATION OF MAIZE STARCH: Grains are softened by soaking in
an aq.soln of sulphurous acid(0.2%) at 50c for 2-3 days.
Softened grain is crushed in rollers to separate germs.
The milky liquid is filtered through sieves to remove cell-debris.
Remaining protein may be separated when the heavier starch deposits first.
In modified procedure, the traces of proteins are separated by treating starch with dilute alkali to dissolve the former.
Then starch is dried by flash dryers.
PREPARATION OF RICE STARCH:
Broken rice(pieces)are softened
(macerating) in NaOH soln (Aq)(0.4%)
& then crushed. Ground material is mixed with
water. Starch is separated by standing.
Washed.dried at 50-60C & powdered.
PREPARATION OF WHEAT STARCH;
Water(added) to the wheat flour
to prepare dough. Then kept for 1 hr. Dough(balls) are shaken with
water. Liquid containing starch falls below
from which it is separated by centrifuation,washed & dried.
PREPARATION OF POTATO STARCH:
Potatoes(washed),crushed (rasping machine) & cell-debris is removed from the pulp by rotary sieves after water(addition). The liquid contains starch,soluble
proteins,salts & some cellular tissues. On standing,the starch separates more
rapidly. Now,washed starch is dried.
CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS:
Starches are generally mixtures of 2 types of polymers:
Amylose Amylopectin
AMYLOSE:
• Linear component of starch• Contains 1,4-alpha-
glucosidic bonds• Molecular weight: less than
0.5 million• Can form coils which will
trap iodine and turn blue
AMYLOPECTIN:
Branched component of starch
Contains 1,4-alpha-glucosidic as well as 1,6-alpha-glucosidic bonds
Molecular weight: 50-500 million
Limited coiling causes purplish-red color when iodine added
STARCH GRANULES:
Made in the cytoplasm of plant cells The granule swells when heated in water Insoluble in water oval or round shape
USES:Mild
astringent
Nutritive
Demulcent
Protective
Absorbent
Anti dote
BinderFiller
Emollient
TESTS FOR IDENTIFICATION: Dissolve starch(1 g)in water(15
ml)by heating on a water bath.a viscous transluscent jelly is formed on cooling.
Fehlings soln test is positive Solution of starch(1ml)forms a
deep blue colour on addition of iodine soln(1 drop).on warming the colour disappears & re-appears on cooling.

PECTIN Group of polysaccharides found in
the primary cell walls of all seed bearing plants & located in the middle lamella.
It was first isolated and described in 1825 by Henri Braconnot.
Function in combination with cellulose as an intercellular cementing substance.
One of the richest sources of pectin is lemon or orange rind which contains about 30% of this polysaccharide.
CHARACTERISTICS: Appearance : Coarse or fine-
powder Colour : Yellowish white Odour : Odourless Taste : Mucilaginous taste
•Solubility : Completely soluble in 20 parts of water. Dissolves more swiftly in water, if previously moistened with sugar syrup, alcohol, glycerol or if first mixed with 3 or more parts of sucrose.•pH: The optimal pH for pectin is between 2.8 and 4.7.•Gel Formation: Pectin shows gel forming, thickening and stabilizing properties if it is properly dissolved in water and if it is stored in a cool and dry place.
BIOLOGICAL SOURCES:
Citrus limon (or Lemon) and Citrus aurantium (family: Rutaceae), or from apple pomace (family: Rosaceae), Guavas, plums, quince, gooseberries, etc.
GEOGRAPHICAL SOURCES:•Lemon & oranges (India, Africa & other tropical countries). •Apple (Himalayas, California, many European countries & the countries located in the Mediterranean climatic zone).
PREPARATIONstep 1
• lemon peels are gently boiled with approx. 20x its wt. of fresh water maintained at 90ºC for a duration of 30 min.
• pH of 3.5 to 4.0 must be maintained.
step 2• After boiling, the peels are mildly squeezed to
obtain the liquid portion which is then subjected to centrifugation to result into a clear solution.
step 3
• From this resulting solution both proteins and starch contents are suitably removed by enzymatic hydrolysis.
• The remaining solution is warmed to deactivate the added enzymes.
• The slightly colored solution is decolorized with activated carbon.
step 4 • Finally, the pectin in its purest form is obtained by precipitation with water-miscible organic solvents (e.g., methanol, ethanol, acetone), washed with small quantities of solvent and dried in a vacuum oven and stored in air-tight containers..
CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS: partial methyl ester of a (1→4) linked D-galacturonate sequence
interrupted with (1–2) L-rhamnose residues. The side chain maker neutral sugars are: D-galactose, L-arabinose, D-xylose, and L-fructose. Schneider and Bock (1938) put forward the following probable structure for pectin:
USES:
Intestinal demulcent, Reduces blood cholesterol levels, Anti-diabetic, Used with kaolin in diarrhea. Treats indolent ulcers & deep wounds, As an emulsifying agent and gelling agent, In the preparation of jellies and similar food
products e.g., jams, sauces, ketchups. A combination of pectin and gelatin is used as an
encapsulating agent in various pharmaceutical formulations.
CARBOHYDRATES ARE ESSENTIAL FOR CARRYING OUT PROCESSES OF LIFE.
