2. WHAT IS NUTRITION
Nutrition is the science that interprets the interaction of nutrients
and other substances in Food (e.g. phytonutrients, anthocyanins,
tannins, etc.) in relation to maintenance, growth, reproduction,
health and disease of an organism. It includes food intake,
absorption, assimilation, biosynthesis, energy metabolism,
catabolism and excretion.
The diet of an organism is what it eats, which is largely determined
by the availability, processing and palatability of foods. A healthy
diet includes preparation of food and storage methods that
preserve nutrients from oxidation, heat or leaching, and that
reduce risk of food-born illnesses.
3. SOME DEFINITIONS……
CATABOLISOM: Catabolism is the set of metabolic pathways that
breaks down molecules into smaller units to release energy.
Anabolism: Anabolism is the set of metabolic pathways that
construct molecules from smallest units. These reaction require
energy.
Absorption: it is a common physical phenomenon or process in
which atoms, molecule ,ions enter some bulk phase-gas ,liquid,
solid material.
Biosynthesis: it is a multi step enzyme catalyzed process where
subtracts are converted into more complex product.
4. The first recorded dietary advice, carved into a Babylonian
stone tablet in about 2500 BC, cautioned those with pain
inside to avoid eating onions for three days. Scurvy, later found
to be a vitamin C deficiency, was first described in 1500 BC in
the Ebers Papyrus.
7. A carbohydrate is a biological
molecule consisting of carbon (C),
hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms,
usually with a hydrogen: oxygen atom
ratio of 2:1 (as in water); in other words,
with the empirical formula Cm(H2O)n
(where m could be different from
n).Some exceptions exist; for example,
deoxyribose, a sugar component of
DNA,has the empirical formula C5H10O4.
Carbohydrates are technically hydrates
of carbon; structurally it is more
accurate to view them as polyhydroxy
aldehydes and ketones.
Glucose is the simplest form (unit) of
carbohydrate. Its called monosaccharide.
8. mainly found in Grain based product (e.g.:
Rice, flour, noodles, bread), honey, any fruits
,vegetable
1 gram carbohydrate provided 17 kJ or 4
cal energy
It may be disaccharide ,trysaccharide,
polysaccharide

11. Proteins are essential nutrients for the human
body.
It is a essential part of daily food to make &
protect our body.
There are nine essential amino acids which
humans must obtain from their diet in order to
prevent protein-energy malnutrition. They are
phenylalanine, valise, threonine, tryptophan,
methionine, leucine, isoleucine, lysine, and
histidine
Its simplex form is amino acid.
12. Mainly found in –
I. Animal- milk, fish, egg, meat
II. Vegetable- soya bin, spinach,
legume, blackberry, pumpkin
seed ,nuts. Cashew nuts, peas
1 gram carbohydrate provided
17 kJ or 4 cal energy
14. Deficiency
Protein deficiency and malnutrition can lead to
variety of ailments including mental retardation
and kwashiorkor. Symptoms of kwashiorkor
include apathy, diarrhea, inactivity, failure to grow,
flaky skin, fatty liver, and edema of the belly and
legs. This edema is explained by the action of
lipoxygenase on arachidonic acid to form
leukotrienes and the normal functioning of proteins
in fluid balance and lipoprotein transport.
PEM is fairly common worldwide in both children
and adults and accounts for 6 million deaths
annually. In the industrialized world, PEM is
predominantly seen in hospitals, is associated with
disease, or is often found in the elderly.
15. Fats are a wide group of compounds whose
basis is in long-chain organic acid called fatty
acid.
It is mainly two type saturated and non
saturated .
Saturated fat - have no double bonds
between carbon chain
Non saturated fat-have one or more than
double bond between the carbon chain
Some fatty acid cannot synthesized in our
body (e.g. alpha linolenic acid, linolenic
acid). They called EFA .
16. Main source are –
1. Vegetable- nuts, grain oil, oil
2. Animal- dairy product , meat, egg , etc.
1 gram fat provide 34 kJ energy
17. When we taken wrong food
for a long time this problem
occurred-
Fatty liver
Cholesterol
Obesity
Diabetes
Heart disease

35. Vitamin
• Vitamin is an organic compound which is a vital nutrient ,that
an organism required limited amount.
• The term vitamin was derived from "vitamine," a compound
word coined in 1912 by the Polish biochemist Kazimierz Funk
when working at the Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine.
The name is from vital and amine, meaning amine of life,
because it was suggested in 1912 that the organic
micronutrient food factors that prevent beriberi and perhaps
other similar dietary-deficiency diseases might be chemical
amines. This was true of thiamine, but after it was found that
other such micronutrients were not amines the word was
shortened to vitamin in English.
