Cigarette filters are also prepared from these fibres. Other uses of cellulose acetates include preparation of plastics and shatter proof glass. Mucilage, mucus or slime forming substances are called mucosubstances. They are slimy substances or mucilages which possess acidic or aminated polysaccharides formed from galactose, mannose, sugar derivatives and uronic acids.
Mucopolysaccharides or mucilages are quite common in both plants and animals. They form a layer of mucilage around them as well as other aquatic plants and protects the organisms against rotting effect of water, prevents desiccation, growth of epiphytes and attack of pathogens. It also occurs in cementing material between animal cells as well as inside cell coat. It relieves irritation. Mucilage present in Aloe barbadensis reduces inflammation.
It is also purgative. Agar agar-agar is polymer of D-galactose, anhydro L-galactose having sulphate esterification after every tenth galactose unit. It is used as culture medium in the laboratory, as laxative, stiffening, stabilising and emulsifying agent. It is obtained from cell wall of some red alae like Gracilaria, Gelidium and Gelidiella.
It is an acidic polysaccharide that occurs in the matrix of cell wall and middle lamella as calcium pectate. Pectin is formed of galacturonic acid, galactose, methylated galacturonic acid and arabinose. It is used in making Jelly and Jams. It is a mixture of polysaccharides of xylans, mannans, galactans, arabino-galactans and glucomannans.
Hemicellulose occurs in the cell wall where it forms a link between pectic compounds and cellulose micro fibrils. It is formed of heteropolysaccharide chains cross-linked by short peptides generally tetra peptides. It is a complex formed of lipid and polysaccharide which forms the outer membrane of Gram -ve bacteria. There is a glycolipid responsible for endotoxic activity, a core polysaccharide and an antigen specific variable chain.
Lipopolysaccharide induces fever, shock and other toxic effects. These are found in stomach, nasal secretion, intestine, vagina and are antibacterial and protective in function.

Answer Now and help others. Answer Now. Disaccharides such as sucrose, lactose, and maltose are molecules composed of two monosaccharides linked together by a glycosidic bond. Polysaccharides , or glycans , are polymers composed of hundreds of monosaccharide monomers linked together by glycosidic bonds.
The energy-storage polymers starch and glycogen are examples of polysaccharides and are all composed of branched chains of glucose molecules. The polysaccharide cellulose is a common structural component of the cell walls of organisms. Other structural polysaccharides, such as N-acetyl glucosamine NAG and N-acetyl muramic acid NAM , incorporate modified glucose molecules and are used in the construction of peptidoglycan or chitin.
Multiple Choice By definition, carbohydrates contain which elements? Carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Show Answer Answer d. Monosaccharides may link together to form polysaccharides by forming glycosidic bonds. Matching Match each polysaccharide with its description. C Glycogen is an energy storage polymer found in animal cells and bacteria.
D Starch is a energy storage polymer in plants. A Cellulose is a structural polymer found in plants. Think about It What are monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides? The figure depicts the structural formulas of glucose, galactose, and fructose. Circle the functional groups that classify the sugars either an aldose or a ketose, and identify each sugar as one or the other.
The chemical formula of these compounds is the same, although the structural formula is different. What are such compounds called? Structural diagrams for the linear and cyclic forms of a monosaccharide are shown. This molecule is synthesized, stored, modified and used as a building material by plants.
It is certainly the most abundant of all the polysaccharides. In the cellulose molecule the individual glucose monosaccharides are all linked to one another in the form of a long, long, linear chain.
The carbon atom number 1 C1 in one sugar is linked to the fourth carbon atom C4 of the next sugar in an extended array.
All the glucose molecules in cellulose have the beta-configuration at the C1 atom, so all the glycosidic bonds that join the glucose molecules together are also of the beta type. This means that the cellulose molecule is straight, and many such molecules can lay side by side in a parallel series of rows. Tiny forces called hydrogen bonds hold the glucose molecules together, and the chains in close proximity.
Ferulic acid released by the fermentation of cereal arabinoxylan in the colon may have antiproliferative effects on colonocytes, reducing the risk of colon cancer Janicke et al, , and have antihypertensive effects on vascular function Suzuki et al, ; Alam et al, The carbohydrate components of the human diet are derived almost exclusively from plant sources and play crucial roles in food processing and in diet and health.
Although widely regarded as primarily sources of energy they also have other impacts on diet and health, particularly the cell wall polysaccharides, which are the major components of dietary fiber. It is becoming clear that both dietary fiber and resistant forms of starch play a positive role in reducing risk factors for chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancer. These benefits could be exploited by crop and food scientists to develop new foods to combat the epidemic increases in diet-related disease which are occurring in both developed countries and rapidly expanding economies such as China and India.

ABSTRACT Polysaccharides derived from plant foods are major components of the human diet, with limited contributions of related components from fungal and algal sources.
Introduction Understanding the relationships between the compositions of raw food materials, the effects of processing on their structures and interactions, and their behavior in the gastrointestinal GI tract are crucial for elucidating the relationships between diet and health. Table 1. Major food sources and structure of carbohydrates present in the diet.
Open in a separate window. Figure 1. Solution and dispersion behavior The solubility of polymers depends on several different factors and molecular properties, with contributions from monomer-solvent interactions as well as entropic contributions. Effects of processing on structure and composition Mechanical fractionation Modifications of some properties of starch and NSPs may occur at the initial stage of mechanical processing. Figure 2. Thermal degradation The chemical structure of starches can be dramatically altered by heat treatments such as baking, toasting, roasting, and frying.
Extrusion and other treatments Extrusion processing pushes material through an orifice or die using a screw, during which heat, high pressure, and shear forces are applied. Effects of Interactions of starch with other components The complexation of lipids with amylose may occur during extrusion cooking resulting in effects on functional properties such as viscosity and reduced starch digestibility of extruded foods Altan et al.
Carbohydrate modification Starches can be modified to alter their properties. Digestibility of polysaccharides Starch digestibility is influenced by a number of factors. Figure 3. Food processes targeting starch digestibility. HHP: high hydrostatic pressure. Physiological aspects Food structure affects metabolic responses to starch in cereal and legume products and any process disrupting the tissue or cell structure will alter these responses.
The mouth The mouth is a complex environment. Mechanical mastication facilitates starch digestion by mixing food with saliva and may also reduce the particle size, effectively increasing the availability of carbohydrate as the food matrix becomes disrupted The physico-chemical modifications that occur during oral processing are of importance for carbohydrate digestion.
The stomach Masticated foods may be swallowed as particulates or be re-formed into a bolus prior to swallowing. The small intestine Chyme leaving the stomach is buffered by bicarbonate and mucin from the Brunner's glands and exposed to bile from the gallbladder and other digestive proteases, lipases, and amylolytic enzymes. The colon large intestine Carbohydrates that have not been digested or absorbed in the upper GI tract enter the colon.
Figure 4. Health impacts Carbohydrates are important for glucose homeostasis, oxidative metabolism, and gastrointestinal function. Glycemia The glycemic index GI was introduced by Jenkins et al. Colonic health The extent of digestion during transit through the upper GI tract is important as it determines the proportion of starch that is available to the colon for fermentation Fuentes-Zaragoza et al.
