FNDH 400 EXAMS 2026 BUNDLE
COMPILATION PRACTICE SCRIPT QUESTIONS
ANSWERS INCLUDED
◉ DIASS V PCDAAS. Answer: PDCAAS uses total digestibility, a
single reference pattern, and is truncated
◉ AAS V PDCAAS. Answer: PDCAAS also takes into account protein
digestibility
◉ sucrose v high fructose corn syrup. Answer: The fructose in sucrose is
bonded to glucose, so it will result in the same free fructose available for
uptake as HFCS where fructose is free already.
◉ linoleic acid v. alpha-linoleic acid. Answer: Eicosanoid production
from linoleic acid elongated fatty acids are more inflammatory than
those produced from alpha-linoleic acid elongated fatty acids
◉ sugar alcohols (polyols). Answer: Sugar alcohols are a good option
for chewing gum because they are not readily fermented by bacteria in
the mouth, decreasing acid production and thus decreasing cavity
formation.
◉ Beano. Answer: Beano contains an enzyme that cleaves the alpha 1-6
bonds in oligosaccharides thereby decreasing the fermentation by the
,microbiota in the colon decreasing gas production that can lead to
flatulence
◉ Bile. Answer: Bile is synthesized by the liver and concentrated in the
gallbladder and helps emulsify lipids.
◉ 6 fructoses and 1 glucose. Answer: This compound is selectively
fermented by beneficial colon bacteria and is both an oligosaccharide
and a prebiotic.
◉ Galactose. Answer: Galactose is seldom found in nature alone, and is
beta-bonded to glucose in lactose.
◉ Name the only macronutrient that is digested to any great extent in the
mouth and the enzyme responsible for this action. Answer:
Carbohydrates - salivary amylase
◉ Which type of fiber survives digestion and is excreted as a part of
feces?. Answer: nonfermentable, non viscous fiber
◉ Name the components of pancreatic juice. Answer: Bicarbonate, and
Digestive enzymes
, ◉ Gastric juice improperly moving back up into the esophagus results in
what condition?. Answer: Heartburn and/or gastroesophageal reflux
disease
◉ Name the 2 alternative sweeteners that are derived from natural
sources (not artificial or synthesized). Answer: Stevia and Luo Han Guo
(monkfruit) extract
◉ Complete proteins. Answer: an amino acid score above 100, cannot
have limiting amino acids
◉ Complementary proteins. Answer: both must have different limiting
amino acids.
◉ Alternative sweetener that is a concern for those with PKU. Answer:
Aspartame - Aspartame is broken down into phenylalanine, which is an
amino acid that those with PKU should limit. They cannot metabolize it.
Can lead to adverse effects if consumed at too high levels.
◉ Differences between glycogen, oligosaccharides, and cellulose (main
type of fiber). Answer: Glycogen chains are alpha 1-4 bonds with alpha
1-6 bond branch points. Oligosaccharides contain alpha 1-6 bonds.
Cellulose contains beta bonds.
