ENERGY BARS AND THEIR EFFECTS ON THE BODY Presentation By: Brian Chisholm Matthew LaPaglia Andrea Nicoletti Sabina Warren Seth White -A VITAMIN Refers to all compounds having the biological activity of Retinol. CH3 CH3 H3 C H3 C CH2 OH VITAMIN A CH3 H3C CH3 CH3 CH3 H3 C H3C B-CAROTENE CH3 H3C H3 C CH3 Other Caratenoids can be split to provide Retinol; Caretenoids are spilt by enzymes in the small intestines. VITAMIN (Asorbic Acid) C CH2 OH O O HO HO OH Asorbic Acid is necessary for the production of Collagen, which is the substance that gives structure to muscles, blood vessels, bones and cartilage. The VITAMIN - B GROUP Thimanin (Vitamin B-1) Riboflavin (Vitamin B-2) Niacin (Vitamin B-3) Pantothenic (Vitamin B-5) Vitamin B-6 Biotin (Vitamin B-8) Vitamin B-12 THIAMIN (VITAMIN B-1) & NIACIN (VITAMIN B-3) THIAMIN MOECULE STRUCURE H3C N N NH2 S Cl N CH2OH CH3 NIACIN: Aids in release of energy from foods Helps maintain healthy skin, nerves & digestive system Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B-5) OH H N CH2OH HOOC O H 3C CH3 Pantothenic acid is released from food by a series of enzyme reactions in the small intestines. It is then absorbed into the circulatory system and transported to tissues. Riboflavin (vitamin B-2) & Biotin (vitamin B-8) Riboflavin aids in the metabolism of carbohydrates Essential for production of red blood cells Aids health of skin and eyes Biotin is absorbed, unchanged, in the small intestines It is distributed to all tissues, which is important to the metabolism of protein, fats and carbohydrates. Vitamin B-6 & Vitamin B-12 Vitamin B-6 helps to metabolize Protein Helps to maintain brain function and Nervous System Also helps to form red blood cells Vitamin B12 is a complex Coenzyme whose approximate General formula is: C61-64 H84-90 N14 O13-14 PCo IRON TRANSPORTS OXYGEN, THROUGH HEMOGLOBIN, TO ALL BODY TISSUES CALCIUM BUILDS AND MAINTAINS STRONG BONES AND TEETH AND HELPS TO REGULATE HEART BEAT AND MUSCLE CONTRACTIONS MAGNESIUM NECESSARY FOR PROTIEN SYNTHESIS, IT HELPS TO STABLIZE NERVE FUNCTION AND RELAXES HEART MUSCLES SODIUM CONTROLS THE BODY’S WATER BALANCE AND MAINTAINS NORMAL HEART RHYTHM VITAMIN A: 0 % MAGNESIUM: 15% VITAMIN C: 100 % CALCIUM: 15% VITAMIN B6: 50 % IRON: 35% THIAMIN: 50% SODIUM: 90 mg NIACIN: 50 % PANTOTHENIC ACID: 50 % VITAMIN A: 50 % MAGNESIUM: 35% VITAMIN C: 100% CALCIUM: 30% VITAMIN B6: 30 % IRON: 35 % THIAMIN: 40% SODIUM: 90 mg NIACIN: 45% PANTOTHENIC ACID: 20% VITAMIN A: 0% MAGNESIUM: 35% VITAMIN C: 100% CALCIUM: 30% VITAMIN B6: 100% IRON: 35% THIAMIN: 100% SODIUM: 90 mg NIACIN: 100% PANTATHENIC ACID: 100% VITAMIN A: 30% VITAMIN C:100% VITAMIN B6: 20% THIAMIN: 25% NIACIN: 15% PANTOTHENIC ACID: 20% MAGNESIUM: 25% CALCIUM: 25% IRON: 30% SODIUM: 170 mg Comparing Nutritional Bars To Everyday Junk Food Balance Bar Serving Size (g) 50 Total Calories 200 Fat Calories 50 Percent Fat (%) 25 Total Fat (g) 6 Saturated Fat (g) 3 Cholesterol (mg) 5 Sodium (mg) 150 Vit.
