Nutrition
the study of food and how the body uses it
Function of Nutrients:
1) supply energy
2) supply materials for building and
replacing body tissues
3) supply other substances needed for
various life processes
Nutrition
• Nutrients:Nutrients: the components of food and drink
that provide growth, replacement, and energy:
1. Carbohydrates
2. Lipids
3. Proteins
4. Vitamins
5. Minerals
6. Water
• DigestionDigestion: the hydrolysis of starches, fats, and
proteins into smaller units that can be
absorbed and metabolized.
Elemental Composition of the Human
Body
Digestive Tract
• breakdown of food is done through a
series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions
• CHO start breaking down into
maltose and disaccharides in the
mouth by salivary amylase
• pepsin begins the breakdown
of protein into polypeptides
• acids are neutralized
• CHO to monosaccharides and
absorbed
• polypeptides to amino acids and
absorbed
• triglycerides to FAs and glycerol
Digestion Continued…
• Bile acids are like soaps. They have a polar and
nonpolar groups that aid water soluble lipase and
the incorporation of fats into chylomicrons for
transport. They are synthesized in the liver and
stored in the gallblader
• Lipase cleaves triglycerides to fatty acids and
glycerol
• Fatty acids, glycerol, amino acids,
monosaccharides are absorbed in the small
intestine and travel through the blood stream to the
liver for further modification
Proteins
• Different enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of
peptide chains at different specific sites.

Calorimeter
• Food energy is measured in Calories (capital C)
1 Cal = 1 kcal = 1000 cal = 4180 joules
• a Calorie is defined
as the amount of
energy required to
raise 1 kg of water 1°C
•Measured in a bomb
calorimeter
Calculating the Caloric Value
of Food
Carbohydrate = 4 Cal per gram
Proteins = 4 Cal per gram
Fats = 9 Cal per gram
Determining Fat Content of
Foods
Recommended Dietary Needs
Recommended Daily Intake:
Adults: 0.8 g per kg of body weight
Children and Pregnancy: 1.5-2.0 g per kg body weight
Complete Protein - contains all essential amino acids
-meat, eggs, dairy, fish
Incomplete Protein - missing one or more essential
amino acids
-legumes and grains combined make a complete
protein
Proteins
Proteins
– Gelatin, which is denatured collagen, is an
incomplete protein because it lacks Trp, and is low
in Ile and Met.
– Corn protein is low in Lys and Trp.
– Rice is low in Lys and Thr.
– Wheat protein is low in Lys.
– Legumes are low in Met and Cys.
– Soy protein is very low in Met.
Protein complementation:Protein complementation: a diet in which two or
more proteins complementation each other’s
deficiencies; for example:
– grains + legumes (rice + beans)
Fats • recommended 30% of diet
-10% monounsaturated
-10% saturated
-10% unsaturated
Essential Fatty acids:
Omega-3
EPA, DHA, linoleic
Omega-6
Arachidonic acid, α-linolenic
• EPA, DHA, AA are 20
carbon hormone-like
fatty acids that play an
important part in the
immune function
Percentage of Calories in
Common Foods
Energy Needs
Woman 2000 Cal
Men 2200 Cal
-physical activity and lifestage affects energy
needs
-need to burn 3500 Cal to lose 1 pound
Basal Caloric Requirements -the requirements
for a resting body
Vitamins
-Organic compounds required in small
amounts for normal metabolism and good
health
- not a source of energy
Water soluble - C and Bs
-must be replenished everyday
-Difficult to overdose
Fat soluble - A, D, E, K
-does not need to be replenished everyday
-can cause toxicity
Fat Soluble Vitamins
Water Soluble Vitamins
Recommended Daily Allowances
(RDA)
Vitamin Absorption and Storage
• All absorption takes place in the small intestine
• Fat-soluble vitamins
– Are absorbed in the duodenum
– Storage
• Vitamin A is mainly stored in the liver
• Vitamins K and E are partially stored in the liver
• Vitamin D is mainly stored in the fat and muscle tissue
• Can build up in body to point of toxicity
Vitamin Absorption and Storage
• Water-soluble vitamins
– Absorbed with water and enter directly into the
blood stream
– Most absorbed in the duodenum and jejunum
– Most are not stored in the body
– Excess intake excreted through the urine
– Important to consume adequate amounts daily
– Dietary excesses can be harmful

Bioavailability
• Varies based on
– Amount in food
– Preparation
– Efficiency of digestion and absorption of food
– Individual nutritional status
– Natural or synthetic
• Fat-soluble vitamins are generally less
bioavailable than water-soluble vitamins
• Vitamins from animal foods are generally
more bioavailable than those in plant foods

vitamin D
• A prohormone synthesized
from cholesterol
• Vitamin D3 = cholecalciferol
• Found in animal products
• Vitamin D2 = egocalciferol
• Found in plants and fortified
foods
Vitamin D3 and D2
• Time spent outdoors
• Amount of skin exposed
• Skin color
• Clothing
• Body fat
• Latitude
• Season and time of day
What affects your vitamin D
level?
Vitamin D Synthesis and Latitude
Vitamin D Synthesis and Latitude
Childhood rickets
• Epidemic with industrialization in 19-20th
centuries
• With discovery of vitamin D and
fortification, rickets was almost entirely
eliminated
• Until now…
London 1889
Idaho 1989
• 40-90% of US community dwelling elderly
• 50% of premenopausal women
• 50% of Hispanic and black adolescents
• 48% of French preteens
• 30-50 % of adults in Saudi Arabia and
UAE
• 73 % of pregnant women taking prenatal
vitamins
…are DEFICIENT
How to get vitamin D...
• 100 IU/d raises level by about 1 ng/mL
• Sunlight 3000 IU/10 minutes
• Oily fish 300 IU/3 oz
– Salmon, sardines, mackerel, tuna
• Mushrooms 100 IU/3 oz
• Fortified drinks 100 IU/8 oz
– Milk, orange juice, yogurt, cereals
Updated Recommendations In Process
• Studies suggest that the daily vitamin D intakes
should be much higher than 400 IU/d.
• Daily intakes in the range of 800 to 1000 IU/d
should be strongly considered.
• Although there are concerns regarding vitamin D
toxicity, side effects at intakes exceeding the
current upper limit of 2000 IU/d have not been
reported to date.
• Assessment of vitamin D status with serum
measurements of 25(OH) vitamin D levels for a
broader range of patients should be encouraged.

Source and function of common Vitamins and
Minerals
Fiber - indigestible carbohydrates
-lowers risk of cardiovascular disease,
diabetes, colon cancer, diverticulitis and
obesity
• absorbs water and promotes frequent bowl movements
• fermented in the Large intestine by microbes
• lowers LDL cholesterol
1) Soluble
2) Insoluble
• slows gastric emptying
• causes satiety
• adds fecal bulk
Problems with Processed Food
• nutrients are lost in processing
• some but not all nutrients are
added back (Enriched)
• Fortified is when other
ingredients are added
that were not originally
the food
• are lower in fiber
• processed foods are
digested more quickly and
lend to weight gain
Nutritional Diseases
Kwashiorkor - protein deficiency
-often provides enough calories
-common b/w the ages of 1-4 b/c of
premature weaning
Nutritional Diseases
marasmus - protein and calorie deficiency
-more serious condition

disorder characterized by low body weight
and poor body image
Bulimia Nervosa- psychological disorder
characterized by periods of binging and
purging
-often eat over 20,000 Cal
Nutritional Diseases
Obesity - excessive weight gain that is
associated with heath concerns and
increased risk of mortality
-characterized by a BMI of greater than 30
BMI (body mass index) = weight in kg
divided by the square of the height in m
-25% of Americans are obese
-60% of Americans are overweight (BMI 25-
29.9)
Nutritional Diseases
Diabetes - condition in which body is
unable to utilize glucose in a normal way
Type I - an auto immune disease that
results in the permanent destruction of
insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas
Type II - metabolic disorder that is usually
characterized by insulin resistance, insulin
deficiency and hyperglycemia
-associated with obesity
-Increased prevalence
Food Supplements
- vitamins, minerals, herbal remedies, etc…
-$60 billion a year industry
-Balanced diet provides adequate needs
-Elderly, dieters, alcoholics, pregnant, lactation
may require supplementation
- often supplements are not in a form that is as
available as it is in food

What are functional
foods?
• International food information council “those
foods that provide health benefits beyond
basic nutrition”
Bioactive
Nutraceutical
• Considered non-essential for
growth and development
• Decrease risk of chronic diseases
dietary supplements
• Regulated as foods
• Safety of supplement regulated
by FDA only after they have
entered the market
• DSHEA states that a dietary
supplement is “adulterated”
only if it presents a
“significant or unreasonable
risk of illness or injury”
Dietary supplement health &
education act of 1994
Definition of a supplement:
“Is a product (other than tobacco) that is intended
to supplement the diet that bears or contains one or
more of the following dietary ingredients: a
vitamin, a mineral, an herb or other botanical, an
amino acid, a dietary substance for use by man to
supplement the diet by increasing the total daily
intake, or a concentrate, metabolite, constituent,
extract, or combinations of these ingredients.”
•Is intended for ingestion in pill capsule, tablet,
or liquid form
•Is not represented for use as a conventional food
or as the soled item of a meal or diet
•Is labeled as a “dietary supplement”
•Includes products such as an approved new drug,
certified antibiotic, or licensed biologic that was
marketed as a dietary supplements or food before
approval, certification, or license (unless the
Secretary of Health and Human Services waives this
the challenge of
assessing dietary
supplements
• Need surrogate endpoints!
• Example assessment of risk of cancer,
inflammation
• Bioactive components decrease
inflammation via multiple mechanisms, i.e.
activation of transcription factor and other
epigenetic regulations
• Act as antioxidant etc.
secondary
metabolites• phytonutrients
content vary by
location,
harvest &
storage
• Sometimes
phytonutrient
cocktail is
better than
isolated
nutrient –
carotenoids
• Yellow and orange fruits, dark
green leafy vegetables
• α and β-carotene and β
cryptoxantin – precursor to Vitamin
A
• lycopene, lutein, and zeaxantin –
not precursors to vit A
• Foods rich in carenoids may be safer
than purified supplements
• Typical western diet contains about 6
mg/day of carotenoids, 60% from animal
lycopenes
• accumulates in
certain tissues,
such as prostate
• Lycopene commonly
in plasma
associated with
LDLs
• Lutein and
zeaxantin have
high binding
affinity to HDLs
– accumulate in
macula lutea of
retina, act as
photoreceptors
the benefits of salmo
astaxanthin
Plant sterols &
stanols• Most abundant Sterols = β-
sitosterol, stigmasterol,
campesterol
• Inhibit growth of various forms of
lung, stomach, ovarian and breast
cancer.
•Stanols = sitostanol, campestanol
• Sterols essential component cell
membrane
• Have sterol ring – differ in side
chain.
• Stanols are saturated form of sterol
Sterols and stanols
cont…• Cholesterol lowing
effect by lowering
absorption
• FDA authorized
health claims –
must contain at
least 0.65 g of
plant sterols or
1.70 g stanol
esters (esters have
higher lipid solubility
and are more easily
incorporated into
foods)
• Typical diet  .15
- .4 g/day of
sterols and stanols
• To achieve 1.5
Polyphenols
• 1) flavanoids,
2) phenolic acids
• Secondary metabolites
– more than 8000
• Hydroxyl groups might
provide reducing power or
antioxidant potential (ROS)
• Usually lots of conjugated
double bonds
• Usually in free form or Ο-
glycosides
Phytoestrogens
• Majority phytoestrogens
belong to 4 subclasses:
isoflavanoid,
coumestans,
isoflavones, lignans,
stilbenes
• Composed of a planar
aromatic ring system
with one or more
hyroxyl
• Phytoestrogens proposed
to mimic estrogen and
act as weak agonist,
promoting estrogen
• favorably affect
hormone-dependent
cancers, menopausal
symptoms, glycemic
control and weight
maintenance,
decrease thrombus
and platelet
aggregation, lower
TGL, LDL.
• Recommended as alt
to hormone
replacement therapy.
• No safety info
ESTRADIOL
Estrogens
function in
growth,
reproduction,
and
maintenance
and integrity
of skeleton
and CNS.
Phytoestrogens
cont…
• Founds in licorice,
kudzu, soy, red
clover, saw palmetto
• Wine, grapes and
peanuts good source of
resveratrol
• Flax seed, whole grain
products, vegies, tea
good source of
lignans.
• FDA approved health
claim of 25 g or more
Indole-3-carbinol
• A chemically,
mechanistically, and
phylogenetically separate
phytoestrogen is indole-3-
carbinol
• does not mimic estrogen,
but alters alters
estrogen
metabolism via a
different
mechanism.
• Acid condensate of I-3-C
binds to aryl hydrocarbon
receptor which is capable
Organosulfurs
• Contains a derivative of
cysteine called
alliin, released when allium
vegetables are crushed.
• the enzyme allinase produces a
lipid-soluble, unstable
intermediate called allicin that
decomposes to produce allyl
sulfides, including diallyl
sulfide (DAS, DAD and DATS)
• Onions, leaks, chives, scallions,
garlic (richest source)
Polyols
• Sugar alcohols are
used as sweeteners –
Xylitol, Sorbitol,
Mannitol
• Fewer calories (1.5 –
3 kcal/g) and lower
glycemic index due to
reduced absorption by
intestine
• Excessive consumption
of sugar alcohols
lead to osmotic
diarrhea – >50g of
Stevia
• A natural zero calorie South
American herb
• Steviol contains two hydroxyl
groups
• Sugar residues are esterified to
one or both of the –OH groups to
form glycosides which are 200 –
450 times sweeter than sucrose.
• Microflora in intestine release
sugars and steviol
• May lower blood pressure

Nutrition

  • 1. Chapter 30: Nutrition K. Dunlap Chem 104
  • 2. Nutrition the study of food and how the body uses it Function of Nutrients: 1) supply energy 2) supply materials for building and replacing body tissues 3) supply other substances needed for various life processes
  • 3. Nutrition • Nutrients:Nutrients: the components of food and drink that provide growth, replacement, and energy: 1. Carbohydrates 2. Lipids 3. Proteins 4. Vitamins 5. Minerals 6. Water • DigestionDigestion: the hydrolysis of starches, fats, and proteins into smaller units that can be absorbed and metabolized.
  • 4. Elemental Composition of the Human Body
  • 5. Digestive Tract • breakdown of food is done through a series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions • CHO start breaking down into maltose and disaccharides in the mouth by salivary amylase • pepsin begins the breakdown of protein into polypeptides • acids are neutralized • CHO to monosaccharides and absorbed • polypeptides to amino acids and absorbed • triglycerides to FAs and glycerol
  • 6. Digestion Continued… • Bile acids are like soaps. They have a polar and nonpolar groups that aid water soluble lipase and the incorporation of fats into chylomicrons for transport. They are synthesized in the liver and stored in the gallblader • Lipase cleaves triglycerides to fatty acids and glycerol • Fatty acids, glycerol, amino acids, monosaccharides are absorbed in the small intestine and travel through the blood stream to the liver for further modification
  • 7. Proteins • Different enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of peptide chains at different specific sites.
  • 8. Carbohydrates Proteins Fats Mouth Salivary amylase Disaccharides Maltose Stomach Pepsin Polypeptides Small Intestine Pancreatic enzymes Simples sugars Glucose Pancreatic enzymes Amino acids Lipase Bile salts Glycerol FAs Bloodstream Liver Glycogen Body proteins Body fats
  • 9. Calorimeter • Food energy is measured in Calories (capital C) 1 Cal = 1 kcal = 1000 cal = 4180 joules • a Calorie is defined as the amount of energy required to raise 1 kg of water 1°C •Measured in a bomb calorimeter
  • 10. Calculating the Caloric Value of Food Carbohydrate = 4 Cal per gram Proteins = 4 Cal per gram Fats = 9 Cal per gram
  • 13. Recommended Daily Intake: Adults: 0.8 g per kg of body weight Children and Pregnancy: 1.5-2.0 g per kg body weight Complete Protein - contains all essential amino acids -meat, eggs, dairy, fish Incomplete Protein - missing one or more essential amino acids -legumes and grains combined make a complete protein Proteins
  • 14. Proteins – Gelatin, which is denatured collagen, is an incomplete protein because it lacks Trp, and is low in Ile and Met. – Corn protein is low in Lys and Trp. – Rice is low in Lys and Thr. – Wheat protein is low in Lys. – Legumes are low in Met and Cys. – Soy protein is very low in Met. Protein complementation:Protein complementation: a diet in which two or more proteins complementation each other’s deficiencies; for example: – grains + legumes (rice + beans)
  • 15. Fats • recommended 30% of diet -10% monounsaturated -10% saturated -10% unsaturated Essential Fatty acids: Omega-3 EPA, DHA, linoleic Omega-6 Arachidonic acid, α-linolenic • EPA, DHA, AA are 20 carbon hormone-like fatty acids that play an important part in the immune function
  • 16. Percentage of Calories in Common Foods
  • 17. Energy Needs Woman 2000 Cal Men 2200 Cal -physical activity and lifestage affects energy needs -need to burn 3500 Cal to lose 1 pound Basal Caloric Requirements -the requirements for a resting body
  • 18.
  • 19. Vitamins -Organic compounds required in small amounts for normal metabolism and good health - not a source of energy Water soluble - C and Bs -must be replenished everyday -Difficult to overdose Fat soluble - A, D, E, K -does not need to be replenished everyday -can cause toxicity
  • 23.
  • 24. Vitamin Absorption and Storage • All absorption takes place in the small intestine • Fat-soluble vitamins – Are absorbed in the duodenum – Storage • Vitamin A is mainly stored in the liver • Vitamins K and E are partially stored in the liver • Vitamin D is mainly stored in the fat and muscle tissue • Can build up in body to point of toxicity
  • 25. Vitamin Absorption and Storage • Water-soluble vitamins – Absorbed with water and enter directly into the blood stream – Most absorbed in the duodenum and jejunum – Most are not stored in the body – Excess intake excreted through the urine – Important to consume adequate amounts daily – Dietary excesses can be harmful
  • 26.
  • 27. Digesting and Absorbing Water-Soluble Vitamins Figure 10.1
  • 28. Water-Soluble Vitamins Fat-Soluble Vitamins Absorbed in the Small Intestine Small Intestine Hydrophobic or Hydrophilic Hydrophilic Hydrophobic Absorbed into the Blood Lymph Stored in the body Not Generally Yes Can build up and become toxic Not Generally Yes Need to consume daily Yes No
  • 29. Bioavailability • Varies based on – Amount in food – Preparation – Efficiency of digestion and absorption of food – Individual nutritional status – Natural or synthetic • Fat-soluble vitamins are generally less bioavailable than water-soluble vitamins • Vitamins from animal foods are generally more bioavailable than those in plant foods

  • 41. Updated Recommendations In Process • Studies suggest that the daily vitamin D intakes should be much higher than 400 IU/d. • Daily intakes in the range of 800 to 1000 IU/d should be strongly considered. • Although there are concerns regarding vitamin D toxicity, side effects at intakes exceeding the current upper limit of 2000 IU/d have not been reported to date. • Assessment of vitamin D status with serum measurements of 25(OH) vitamin D levels for a broader range of patients should be encouraged.
  • 42. Vitamin Deficiency Scurvy - vitamin C (ascorbic acid) deficiency -bleeding gums, vomiting, weight loss, anemia, poor wound healing Beri beri - vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiency -stiffness of limbs, heart disease, mental disorders, paralysis of limbs Pellagra - vitamin B3 (niacin) deficiency -reddening and drying of skin, gastrointestinal and nervous system disorders
