Arrange the following artificial Sweetening agents in order of increasing sweetness. Aspartame, Saccharin, Sucralose, Alitame

Options

  1. AAlitame > Saceharin > Sucralose > Aspartame
  2. BAspartame > Alitame > Saccharin > Sucralose
  3. CAlitame > Sucralose > Saccharin > Aspartame
  4. DSucralose > Aspartame > Alitame > Saccharin

Correct answer

C. Alitame > Sucralose > Saccharin > Aspartame

Step-by-step solution

The relative sweetness values of artificial sweetening agents compared to cane sugar are as follows: Aspartame is approximately 100 times as sweet as cane sugar. Saccharin is approximately 550 times as sweet as cane sugar. Sucralose is approximately 600 times as sweet as cane sugar. Alitame is approximately 2000 times as sweet as cane sugar. Arranging these in increasing order of sweetness gives: Aspartame (100) Therefore, the order of increasing sweetness is Aspartame Sucralose > Saccharin > Aspartame. Answer: Ali
