CARBOHYDRATES химические свойства, назначение, производство

Определение

A class of compounds occurring widely in nature and having the general formula type Cx(H2O)y. (Note that although the name suggests a hydrate of carbon these com-pounds are in no way hydrates and have no similarities to classes of hydrates.) Carbohydrates are generally divided into two main classes: SUGARS and POLYSACCHARIDES.
Carbohydrates are both stores of energy and structural elements in living systems; plants having typically 15% carbohydrate and animals about 1% carbohydrate. The body is able to build up polysaccharides from simple units (anabolism) or break the larger units down to more simple units for releasing energy (catabolism).
