Carbohydrate Nutrition

About this book

Carbohydrate Nutrition discusses the nutritional functionality of foods in addressing the current metabolic disease epidemic. It begins by introducing the sources and structures of various carbohydrates, including starch, human milk oligosaccharides, polyols, arabinoxylan, beta-glucan, and cellulose, along with their function in the small intestine and colon. The book offers a comprehensive examination of carbohydrates, covering their chemistry, classification, digestion and health implications. The importance of prebiotic carbohydrates, such as human milk oligosaccharides and dietary fibers like cellulose, arabinoxylans, and beta-glucan is also discussed.Each chapter is authored by leading experts in the field making Carbohydrate Nutrition is a valuable resource for nutrition researchers, food scientists, food chemists, and those studying related topics. Readers can apply these insights to the design and development of foods with improved carbohydrate nutrition. - Presents a holistic view of the structure-function of common carbohydrates in both the upper and lower gastrointestinal tracts - Explores different carbohydrate types and their nutritional roles - Explains the rate, extent and location of digestion and absorption for glycemic starch and dietary fibers - Offers practical guidance for creating balanced, carbohydrate-rich diets
