Nutrition and Food Chemistry

Chemistry and biochemistry of nutrition

Nutrition is the process of providing the raw materials to the body which it wants to work and develop. There are three macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids) that are essential for humans to act as the primary fuel for physiological processes. This discusses the awareness of nutrients and other components of food with emphasis on their role and effect on mammalian physiology, health and behaviour. The main goal of nutritional biochemistry research is the scientific beginning of optimum dietary diets throughout the life cycle for each nutrient and food ingredient.
