Abstract


Carbohydrates are one of the three macronutrients in the human diet, along with protein and fat. These molecules consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Carbohydrates play a crucial role in the human body. They act as a source of energy, aid in the metabolism of insulin and blood glucose, participate in the metabolism of triglycerides and cholesterol, and aid in fermentation.
