Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Sucrose and glucose are natural sweetening agents while aspartame and sucralose are artificial sweetening agents. Aspartame is roughly 100 times as sweet as cane sugar. It is methyl ester of dipeptide formed from aspartic acid and phenylalanine. Use of aspartame is limited to cold foods and soft drinks because it is unstable at cooking temperature. Sucralose is trichloro derivative of sucrose. Its appearance and taste are like sugar. It is stable at cooking temperature. It does not provide calories.
