Options

A. Saccharine
B. Sucrolose
C. Aspartame
D. Alitame

Answer

C

Explanation

It decompses at baking or cooking temperatures and hence can be used only in cold food and soft drinks Futher more, people suffering from the disease phenyl ketoneurea cannot use aspertame because their metabolism causes the conversion of aspartame to phenylpyruvic acid, Accumulation of phenylpyruvic acid is harmful especially to infants due to brain damage and mental retardation. Phenylketoneurea is a genetically determined defect in the metabolism of phenylalanine (an amino acid contained in protein). Phenylalanine accumulates in the body, and may cause mental deficiency.
