Carbohydrates

There are different types of carbohydrates. One way of classifying carbohydrates is dividing them into simple carbohydrates, complex carbohydrates, and sugar alcohols.

Simple carbohydrates contain either 1 sugar (monosaccharides) or 2 sugars (disaccharides) while complex carbohydrates contain more sugar units.

Disaccharides

The 3 disaccharides are: sucrose, maltose and lactose. Disaccharides are produced from 2 monosaccharides through a dehydration reaction. This means water is produced during the reaction.

• Sucrose: glucose + fructose, aka table sugar. Only made by plants.
• Maltose: glucose + glucose, aka malt sugar. Seldom found in foods, present in alcoholic beverages and barley.
• Lactose: glucose + galactose, aka milk sugar. Primarily in dairy products.

Bond Structures of Disaccharides

Maltose and sucrose have alpha-bonds while lactose contains a beta-bond. We need a special enzyme, lactase, to break the beta-bond, and this leads to the problem of lactose intolerance.

Sugar vs. High-Fructose Corn Syrup

Both sugar and high-fructose corn syrup are made from glucose and fructose. Food manufacturers are always searching for cheaper ways to produce their food. One method that has been popular is the use of high-fructose corn syrup as an alternative to sucrose. High-fructose corn syrup is approximately 50% glucose and 50% fructose. More precisely, it has either 42% or 55% fructose, which is comparable to sugar with 50% fructose. Nevertheless, because an increase in high-fructose corn syrup consumption has coincided with the increase in obesity in the U.S., there is a lot of controversy surrounding its use.

Opponents claim that high-fructose corn syrup is contributing to the rise in obesity rates. As a result, some manufactures have started releasing products made with natural sugar. Also, manufacturers have rebranded high-fructose corn syrup as corn sugar to get around the negative perception of the name. But the FDA rejected the Corn Refiners Association request to change the name officially to corn sugar, stating that the term “sugar” is used only for food “that is solid, dried and crystallized.”

“HFCS is an aqueous solution sweetener derived from corn after enzymatic hydrolysis of cornstarch, followed by enzymatic conversion of glucose (dextrose) to fructose. Thus, the use of the term ‘sugar’ to describe HFCS, a product that is a syrup, would not accurately identify or describe the basic nature of the food or its characterizing properties.”

In addition, the F.D.A. concluded that the term “corn sugar” has been used to describe the sweetener dextrose and therefore should not be used to describe high-fructose corn syrup. The agency also said the term “corn sugar” could pose a risk to consumers who have been advised to avoid fructose because of a hereditary fructose intolerance or fructose malabsorption.

“Because such individuals have associated ‘corn sugar’ to be an acceptable ingredient to their health when ‘high-fructose corn syrup’ is not, changing the name for HFCS to ‘corn sugar’ could put these individuals at risk and pose a public health concern.”
