INTRODUCTION Sugar is one of the main food items consumed in Sri Lanka. The annual per capita consumption of sugar in Sri Lanka is around 30 kg and the total annual requirement of sugar in the country is around 550‚000t. But‚ only about 50‚000 t are produced locally. In a year only 38‚000 t were produced. The balance requirement has to be imported. The total annual expenditure on sugar imports is around Rs. 20 billion. Sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum) is the only crop cultivated in Sri Lanka

Nutrition is a process; it is how the body puts all the processes together in order to provide what our bodies need to be healthy‚ to grow and to maintain good health while supplying all our nutritive needs. There are different stages to nutrition‚ it starts with the food we ingest‚ then it is digested‚ it can then be used and absorbed by the body and is then assimilated and finally any waste is eliminated. At the first stage of the process is ingestion and it could be argued that good nutrition

To achieve the goal of providing energy and nutrients to the body‚ six major functions take place in the digestive system ingestion‚ Secretion‚ mixing and movement‚ digestion‚ absorption and excretion. There are two kinds of organs that make up the digestive tract are the mouth‚ esophagus‚ stomach‚ small intestine‚ large intestine also called the colon - rectum‚ and anus all of which are hollow. Inside these hollow

Digestion is the complex process of turning the food you eat into the energy you need to survive. The digestion process also involves creating waste to be eliminated. The digestive tract (or gut) is a long twisting tube that starts at the mouth and ends at the anus. It is made up of a series of by muscles that coordinate the movement of food and other cells that produce enzymes and hormones to aid in the breakdown of food. Along the way are three other organs that are needed for digestion: the liver

Process of Digestion and Absorption after eating a hamburger. After someone eats a hamburger with the works‚ they do not really think of what nutrients are in that hamburger‚ what the body does to get those nutrients out of the food‚ or even what process is used‚ they just think of how good it tasted. To get all the nutrients out of the food the human body uses processes called absorption and digestion. Some of the processes of digestion are mechanical and chemical; these are the step before the
