Macromolecules or biopolymers such as carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids together with water, make up most of the human body. In this lesson, we intend to discuss the chemistry of carbohydrates (monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides), peptides, proteins and nucleic acids.

– Simple carboxylic acids, alcohols and     esters

– Fatty acids

– Fats and oils

– Waxes

– Soap and detergents

In this lesson we will study the chemistry and applications of biological esters, fats and oils.Fats and oils are naturally occurring lipids found in plants and animals and are triesters of glycerol or glycerin.

– E-numbers

– Antioxidants

– Sweeteners

– Preservatives

– Flavours and flavour enhancers

– Spices

we intend to study pros and cons of food additives. People around the world use natural and artificial food additives to improve the taste and appearance of food without thinking of their effects on their health. Artificial food additives could pose a real health risk. It is important to remember, you are what you eat.
