Carbohydrates
Types of Carbohydrates and their Importance

Experiment 1:

1. Aim: To observe the presence of starch in a potato using iodine and understand the role of starchy foods in our diet.

2. Requirements: a piece of potato, a tincture of iodine, water (for dilution), and a dropper.

3. Procedure

Prepare Iodine Solution: Add a small amount of water to the tincture of iodine to dilute it.
Apply Iodine: Using a dropper, place a few drops of the iodine solution onto the potato piece.
Observe: Notice the colour change on the potato piece.

4. Observation: The piece of potato turns blackish blue, indicating the presence of starch.

5. Conclusion: When iodine comes into contact with starch, it turns blackish blue. This shows that the potato contains starch. Other foods like sago, sweet potatoes, and cereals (jowar, bajra, wheat, and rice) also contain starch, which provides energy to our body for various activities and helps maintain body warmth.

Experiment 2:

1. Aim: To observe the presence of fibre in whole wheat flour by sifting and understanding its role in digestion.

2. Requirements: A fine sieve and whole wheat flour

3. Procedure

Sift the Flour: Place the whole wheat flour in the sieve and gently sift it.
Observe: Notice that most of the flour passes through the sieve, but larger particles remain on the sieve.

4. Observation: Larger particles left behind on the sieve are pieces of the skin or bran of the grain.

5. Conclusion: The larger particles are the bran, a fibrous substance found in whole wheat. Fibre, also called roughage, helps digestion by moving food through the alimentary canal and forming stool from undigested food. This is an essential function for maintaining a healthy digestive system.

Carbohydrates:

Carbohydrates are nutrients found in food that give us energy to do work and play. Carbohydrates are found in foods like rice, wheat, potatoes, bread, sugar, and pasta.

When we eat food with carbohydrates, our body breaks it down into sugar, which gives us the energy to run, play, and study.
It’s important to have the right amount of carbohydrates in our diet. Too little or too much can be harmful to our health.
Hence, our diet includes a large proportion of cereals, such as rice, chapatti or roti, bhakri, and bread, which contain carbohydrates. Cereals are our staple food.

Types of Carbohydrates and Their Importance:

Type	Explanation	Sources	Importance/Function
Starch	A type of carbohydrate that gives energy.	Potatoes, sago, sweet potatoes, and cereals like wheat, rice, jowar, and bajra.	It provides energy for work and helps keep the body warm.
Sugars	Sweet-tasting substances are found in certain foods.	Jaggery, table sugar, ripe fruits (mango, banana, chickoo), honey, milk.	Provides energy for various activities.
Fibre (Roughage)	Part of food that aids digestion but is not digested.	Whole grains (jowar, wheat), vegetables, fruits, and pulses.	It helps food move through the digestive system, form stools, prevent constipation, and keep the digestive system healthy.
