In this video I have explained all high yield points about the digestion of carbohydrates. The major carbohydrates in the diet are starch, lactose and sucrose. Salivary alpha-amylase digest starch in the mouth into alpha-dextrin. Alpha dextrin further digested into oligosaccharides, maltose and isomaltose by pancreatic alpha-amylase. Specific disaccharidases like maltase, isomlatase, lactase and sucrose will take care of maltose, isomaltose, lactose and sucrose, respectively. The oligosaccharides are digested by alpha-glucosidase into individual glucose molecules one at a time.
Understanding cellular metabolic process will help us to understand the disease process when some metabolic events go wrong!! With this blog I would like to share my medical biochemistry knowledge with you!!!
