The body uses carbohydrates directly from the monosaccharide glucose. Glucose is in the blood and extracellular fluids (lymph) and can be made from glycogen. Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles and in smaller amounts in the other organs and tissues of the body. Energy is derived from...
Carbohydrates ~21.2% ~4.4% 0% 0% 3.2. Glass transition temperature The Tg of zein at different water activities was observed by subjecting proteins to two heating cycles, where the proteins were heated to 120 °C in each. A peak associated with native zein protein was observed during the ...
Glycogen is the body's stored form of glucose, which is sugar. Glycogen is made from several connected glucose molecules and is your body's primary and preferred source of energy. Glycogen is stored in your liver and muscles and comes from carbohydrates in the foods you eat and drink. Glyco...
We cover both the use of microbes to produce whole foods out of their biomass and as cell factories to make highly functional and nutritional ingredients. The technical, economical, and societal limitations are also discussed together with the current and future perspectives....
Globally, the production, distribution, sale and consumption of plant-based foods (PBFs) are on the increase due to heightened consumer awareness, a growing demand for clean label products, widespread efforts to promote and embrace sustainable practices, and ethical concerns over animal-derived counte...
The gut fermentation of carbohydrates in the human body, acting as a bioreactor, in amounts sufficient to produce the effects of intoxication is relatively rare [8,23,33,34], but the gut microbiota is present even in the more subtle form of an endogenous brew [35,36,37]. In this biolog...
Enteral nutrition (EN) is a method of administering carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, electrolytes, vitamins, and trace elements enterally, and is widely used in various fields of perioperative nutrition because it allows for high-energy administration and utilizes the body’s digestive and absorptive ...
Earth is cellulose, a polymer of glucose, which is the main structural material of plants. Although carbohydrates are primary metabolites, they are incorporated in plenty of secondary metabolites through glycosidation linkages. Polymers of simple sugars and uronic acids produce mucilages and gums [46...
carbohydrates, circulating glucose is absorbed by adipocytes via insulin-stimulated GLUT4, where it is converted to pyruvate by glycolysis in the cytosol and then transported to the mitochondria for further oxidation in the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA). In the cytosol, novo lipogenesis uses citrate...
Soluble α-synuclein aggregates varying in size, structure, and morphology have been closely linked to neuronal death in Parkinson’s disease. However, the heterogeneity of different co-existing aggregate species makes it hard to isolate and study their
