Term
Irradiation
Definition
Sterilizing a food by exposure ot energy waves similiar to UV light and microwaves. Control mold in grain, sterilizes spices adn teas, controls insects, destroys bacteria in meat.
Term
Natural toxicants in food
Definition
Goitrogan: In cabbage, cauliflower and kale. Enlarges thyroid. Eliminated by cooking.
Cyanogens: Lima beans, fruit seeds
Solanine: potatoes. Narcotic. Eliminated by peeling.
Term

Fortify
Term
Genetic engineering examples
Definition
Biofortified wheat with more zinc and iron, corn with lysine and tryptophan.
Cows milk delivers vaccine.
Bananas and potatoes with Hep vaccine.
Term
Digestive role: Mouth
Definition
Mastication: form bolus
Saliva: Moistens, 1 L/day, Lipids and Carb digestion.
Taste: sour, bitter, sweet, salty.
>1 min
Term
Digestive role: Esophagus
Definition
Connects mouth to stomach.
Upper and Lower esophageal sphincter.
Peristalsis
Term
Digestive role: Stomach
Definition
Bolus into chyme
Muscles: circular, longitudinal and diagonal.
Pyloric sphincter: release chyme 3X/min
Gastric juice: Gastrin responds to food to release HCL, 1.5L/day, acid pH uncoils protein and activates pepsinogen to pepsin, pepsin cleaves proteins, kills bacteria.
1-2hours
Term
Digestive role: Small intestine
Definition
Duodenum, Jejunum, Ileum
Segmentation: mix chyme, promote contact with absorptive cells.
Pancrease secretes: Secretin responds to acidic chyme to cause release of Sodium bicarbonate to neutralize and allows: Carboxypeptidase, lipases, trypsin,amylase.
Bile: Liver makes, gallbladder releases by cholecystokinin, emulsifies lipids.
7-8 hours.
Absorption: Villi and microvilli: Simple diffusion, Facilitated diffusion, Active transport.
Term
Digestive role: Large intestine
Definition
Ileocecal valve
Withdraws water, NaCl, trace minerals.
Rectum, anus
Bacteria: digestion of fiber
12-14 hours
Term
Transport from digestive system
Definition
Bloodstream: water soluble nutrients and other small substances. Directed to LIVER.
Lymphatic system: Larger fats and fat soluble nutrients, BYPASSS LIVER at first. Enters bloodstream at subclavian vein
Term
Monosaccharides
Definition
Glucose
Fructose
Galactose
Term
Disaccharides
Definition
Maltose = Glucose + Glucose
Lactose = Glucose + Galactose
Sucrose = Glucose + Fructose
Term
Polysaccharides
Definition
Glycogen: storage in mammals, liver and muscles
Fibers: Plant, bacteria breaks it down, intestinal health.
Starch: Plant,
Term
Benefit of fiber in cholesterol control
Definition
High fiber:
1. Liver uses blood cholesterol to make bile.
2. Gallbladder stores bile, bile binds to fiber in digestion.
3. Fiber and bile excreted in feces.
4. A little cholesterol (versus a lot in a low fiber diet) from bile is reabsorbed into blood.
Term
Other benefits of fiber
Definition
Feeling of fullness in stomach.
Digested by bacteria
Prevents constipation and diverticulitis
NEGATIVES: phytic acid, chelation of minerals.
Term
Absorption of carbohydrates
Definition
duodenum.
Active transport for glucose and galactose.
Facilitated diffusion for fructose.
Term
Carbohydrate metabolism
Definition
Glycolisis:
Glucose to 2 pyruvate (3 carbon structure).
Hydrogen atoms to electron transport.
Pyruvate to lactate w/o O2 in muscles during exercise.
Pyruvate to Acetyl coenzyme A w/ O2.
Term
When there aren't enough carbs for energy
Definition
Gluconeogenesis: Using something other than carbohydrates for energy, like amino acids.
Ketone bodies from fat provide energy.
Term
Blood glucose homeostasis
Definition
Insulin: released when blood glucose is high.
Glucagon: Released when blood glucose is too low.
Term
Diabetes
Definition
I: Autoimmune, can't produce insulin
II: Insensitive to insulin
Term
Glycemic Response
Definition
Speed of glucose absorption, level of blood glucose, and return to normal glucose levels
Term
Effects of sugar
Definition
weight gain
diabetes
nutrient deficiency
dental caries
Term

Term
Hydrogenation
Definition
Protects against oxidation
Alters texture
