they are legal, apart from being safe and effective. Examples of such aids include branched chain amino acids, creatine, medium chain triglycerides, pyruvates and vitamins. I. What are Branched chain amino acids? Branched chain amino acids (BCAA) are amino acids whose molecular structure is made up of branched aliphatic side chains. Three amino acids occurring in humans, viz. valine, leucine and isoleucine, are essential BCAAs. They
the balance of bodily functions and cause a variety of serious health problems. Amino acids are the chemical units, also known as "building blocks," that comprise proteins. They are also the end products of protein hydrolysis. Amino acids are unique from sugars and fatty acids because they contain approximately 16 percent nitrogen. Proteins are essential to life because they provide structure to all living organisms. Protein participates in vital chemical processes in various forms. Proteins are
Amino Acids Amino acids are considered the building blocks of proteins. Breaking down protein will yield 22 known amino acids. There are three types of amino acids. These are indispensable(essential), conditionally dispensable, and dispensable. Conditionally dispensable amino acids can be synthesized from other amino acids by our bodies. Dispensable amino acids are considered non-essential. Amino acids are "one of the six basic nutrients our body needs". Essential Amino Acids acids are central

that are covalently bound together. Explanation All forms of life are composed only of biomolecules. For example, humans have skin and hair. The main part of hair is keratin , an agglomeration of proteins which are themselves polymersbuilt from amino acids. Characteristics of Biomolecules: Organic compounds and they have particular shapes and proportions. Chemical properties are determined by functional group and mostly asymmetric. They are composed of small building blocks and have planar structure
Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is a metabolic disorder due to deficiency of branched-chain alpha keto acid dehydrogenase enzyme resulting in accumulation of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) (leucine, isoleucine, and valine). Prolonged accumulation of leucine and its metabolites may lead to cerebral edema and its lethal complication like cerebral herniation and severe permanent neuronal damage causing psychomotor developmental delay. Lowering the concentration of these metabolic byproducts can
This is a condition that will help in the development of acid-sensitive bacteria that are growth on the surface of the raclette cheese. Deacidification is commonly related to the catabolism of amino acid or lactate. Yarrowia lipolytica will produce a microflora surface on the cheese environment. They will produce rapidly and will outnumber the commercial cultures. Yarrowia lipolytica
The combination of these plant proteins makes the amino acid of the product more balanced in nature. It is also free of gluten because they are not made from any kind of grain. To sweeten the product, Tart Cherry is made use of and Turmeric Extract is made use of to give it a high rate of antioxidant. To
BENEDICT’S TEST – REDUCING SUGARS Benedict’s test for reducing sugar results in colour changes from blue to green precipitate and lastly forms brick-red precipitate. In this case, Benedict’s solution which is aqueous solution of copper (II) sulphate, sodium carbonate and sodium citrate, used as a test of the presence of reducing sugar. Glucose is one of the reducing sugars. Functional group of aldehyde (CHO) and keto (C=O) are found in glucose. Benedict’s test will detect on functional group of aldehyde
are being made through the translation of mRNA on Ribosomes, they are identified by amino acid "tags" which tell the cell where the protein belongs. Many proteins have a signal peptide which tells the cell to insert the protein directly into the ER during translation. Proteins which enter the ER are modified in several ways, including the addition of large glycosides (branched sugars) to specific amino acid side chains (Asparagines). After processing in the ER is done, the proteins are shuttled to the
These compounds have their structures range from linear to highly branched compounds. Examples of storage polysaccharide include, starch and glycogen and structural polysaccharide include cellulose and chitin. Cellulose is a significant polysaccharide as it is the most abundant organic compound in the world. It is made
is a potentially fatal disease that disables the body from breaking down valine, leucine and isoleucine. These three amino acids are used to build proteins and are eventually broken down by branched –chain alpha ketoacid dehydrogenase (BCKD). Individuals who are affected by MSUD have a mutation that lack one of the six proteins that assist in the breakdown of the three amino acids. As a result, increased levels of valine, leucine and isoleucine end up in the blood stream and cause degradation of
The O-specific polysaccharide is a heteropolysaccharide made up of a chain of repeating oligosaccharide units, ( 3 to 8 monosaccharides each) which are strain specific and determinative for the serological identity of the respective bacterium.O-polysaccharides are located on the outer surface exposed to the outer environment of the bacterium. 1-8 glycosyl residues can be seen in O- polysaccharide region as repeating units among various gram negative strains. These sugars varies in their types, sequence
need for assistance in dissolving into solution. Many require salts or particular ions to dissolve in water. Cells can combine small molecules into large macromolecules, forming a higher level in the biological hierarchy. Macromolecules are polymers, chains of identical or similar subunit molecules called monomers. Although there is a limited number of monomers common to all organisms, each organism is unique because of the specific arrangement of there monomers into polymers with distinctive structures
form in aldehyde in the presence an alkaline solution. Examples of reducing sugar are glucose, lactose and glyceraldehyde. The reducing sugars that contain aldehyde group act as reducing agent during oxidation because it will oxidize to carboxylic acid. Benedict solution is used to test the presence of the reducing sugar in the solutions. Benedict solution is made from anhydrous sodium carbonate, sodium citrate and copper (ii) sulphate. In this experiment glucose solution is poured into the Benedict
The production of cheese is an important contributor to economical sustainability of the dairy industry. Approximately one third of the milk produced globally is used for the manufacture of cheese, estimated at more than 20 million metric tonnes in 2011, with the revenue representing approximately 30% of the total dairy product sales revenue, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (Farkye, 2004). Cheese consists primarily of fat and coagulated protein and is a highly
taking whey protein and amino acids within 15 to 30 minutes before workouts. Although people usually think of carbohydrates as fuel source, bodybuilders usually consider whey protein as the best source of energy for intense workouts. You need to take this just before training as a quick source of amino acids, or else your body will extract them from your own muscles. Whey will also aid growth and muscle recovery during workouts. You'll also need branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) in your pre workout
Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Cheese Making Process Cheese is made of the coagulation process of casein in the milk. The process is produced by lactic acid bacteria. Milk contains of the main sugar which is lactose. In fermentation process, lactose will be converted into lactic acid. Then, the milk become sour due to absence of oxygen and it became thicken. The species involve is Lactobacillus
Medical nutrition therapy and the critically ill Abstract Nutritional support was an often neglected but essential and crucial element in management of critically ill. The medical nutrition therapy is fast replacing the concept of supportive nutrition in critically ill patients. Adequate and proper nutrition therapy has the potential to positively impact patient outcomes and length of hospital stay. It is relatively inexpensive compared to other treatments, and is being increasingly identified as
mucus. Microorganisms utilize these substrates to produce energy to modulate cellular processes, metabolism and growth. The gut encompasses pathways for carbohydrate, lipid and amino acid metabolism (6). Interestingly, the gut flora’s metabolic action is both adaptive and renewable. Through the synthesis of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), B vitamins and vitamin K, commensal bacteria mutualistically interact with intestinal epithelial cells to promote differentiation, proliferation and absorption from
