CHAPTER II SUGAR COOKERY Classification of the Carbohydrates The carbohydrates are divided into three groups: the monosaccharids, disaccharids, and polysaccharids. The monosaccharids are composed of one saccharid or sugar group. They are sometimes called simple sugars. The monosaccharids difiEer from each other in the number of carbon groups and in the molecular arrangement. The monosaccharids contain alcohol groups (HCOH), the number of which may vary from one to six. In addition to the alcohol group a monosaccharid contains either an aldehyde (HC = O) or a ketone (C = O) group. Thus they are aldehyde or ketone derivatives of complex alcohols and as such are called aldoses or ketoses. A biose is a sugar w^ith two carbon groups, an alcohol group being at- tached to one carbon and an aldehyde group to the other. A triose has three carbon groups and has alcohol groups attached to two carbons and either an aldehyde or ketone to the third carbon. The common monosac- charids in foods are the hexoses, which contain six carbon groups. Five of the carbons have alcohol groups, but the sixth has an aldehyde or ketone. The common hexoses are dextrose and levulose, the former being an aldose, and the latter a ketose. The following formulas though not conveying the exact arrangement of the molecule illustrate the above points. CH2OH CH2OH CHOH CHOH CHOH CHOH i HOH CHOH CHOH C = O CHO CH2OH Dextrose Levulose All sugars higher than tetroses may assume two structural forms, the pyran and the furan. The pyran form for a hexose sugar is a ring composed of five carbons and one oxygen with one carbon outside the ring; the furan 31 32 SUGAR COOKERY form is a ring of four carbons and one oxygen with two carbons outside tlie ring.
