What is sucrose?Simply table sugar…
Chemically, a carbohydrate To be specific a disaccharide.

More about sucrose:
Molecular formula: C12H22O11
Molecular weight: 342 g/mol
Non reducing sugar
Colourless crystalline solid
Tastes sweet
Produced by all photosynthetic plants

Sucrose in our food:
Main energy (carbohydrate) natural source
1 g ≍ 4.1 Kcal
Natural sources are honey, fruits,…
Manufactured from sugarcane, sugar beet, sugar maple,…
Most common food sweetener used in soft-drinks, confectionaries, sweets, bakery products, junk foods,…

Sucrose Metabolism:
Easily assimilated macronutrient (quick energy source)
Sucrose glucose + fructose
Glucose and fructose are readily absorbed by the vili and enters into the blood stream.
Undigested sucrose are broken down by enzymes sucrase and isomaltase glycoside.
H2O / H+
Glycoside hydrolase

Health Risks of sucrose:
Dental caries
Occurs because of dimineralization of enamel and
dentine by organic acids formed by bacteria (S. mutants) through anaerobic metabolism of free sugars.
Starch has no significant role in this.
To prevent, use flouride toothpaste, reduce sugar intake, eat foods that stimulate salivary flow.

Is sugar, the reason behind diabetes?
50:50
2 types of diabetes
• Insulin dependent
• Insulin independent
Biggest risk factor for Type 2 diabetes is obesity, which induces insulin resistance.
High calories from any source causes obesity, it may be sugars or fat…

Sweeteners others than sucrose:
HFCSHigh fructose corn syrup. Contains fructose and glucoseDifferent proportions are available
Fructose100% fructose

Sugars and obesity:
The glucose absorbed in the intestines are taken to the blood stream from where they fuel all cells by a series of processes.
Almost all glucose is burnt to CO2 , water and energy.
Excess glucose is converted to glycogen (a polysaccharide) by a process called glycogenesis and is stored in liver.
![Page 11: Effect of Sucrose on Humans](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/563db779550346aa9a8b5aed/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Sugars and obesity:
However, fructose undergoes different metabolism, which primarily takes place in liver.
Some portion is converted to glucose like compounds that are used for furnishing energy.
When energy is needed, it is processed to glycogen and stored in liver.
Or else, all the fructose gets converted to triglycerides, the precursors of fats.
![Page 12: Effect of Sucrose on Humans](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/563db779550346aa9a8b5aed/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Sugars and obesity:
Thus, it had lead to a misconception that fructose intake leads to obesity.
There are no strong evidences to prove this.
Several trials of high sucrose, hfcs diet shows that only a small percent of fructose gets converted to triglycerides.

Sugars – highly restricted:
For people who are suffering from
– Diabetes
– Sucrose intolerance
– Fructose intolerance
– Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex Deficiency
– Mucopolysaccharidoses
– Glycogen storage diseases

Is Sugar – good or bad?
It’s all about balances
American Diabetes Association recommends people to limit their intake of
sugar-sweetened beverages to help prevent diabetes
