Nutrients
Carbohydrates
Organic compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen in a ratio 1:2:1
Monosaccharides/Single sugars: Glucose, Fructose, Galactose
-
Disaccharides/Double sugars: Maltose, Lactose, Sucrose
Test for reducing sugars (Sucrose is not a reducing sugar): Gives a brick-red precipitate when boiled with Benedict's solution
-
Fats
Organic compounds made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen in an unfixed ratio, containing much less oxygen in comparison to hydrogen
-
-
Proteins
Organic compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sometimes sulfur
Amino acids linked together by peptide bonds to form polypeptide chains, which are then further linked together by peptide bonds to form proteins
