A chemist has samples of artificial sweetener and . To identify these samples, he performed certain experiments and noted the following observations:
(i) and both form blue-violet colour with ninhydrin.
(ii) Lassaigne extract of gives positive test and negative test.
(iii) Lassaigne extract of and gives positive sodium nitroprusside test.
Based on these observations which option is correct?



(i) and both form blue-violet colour with ninhydrin.
(ii) Lassaigne extract of gives positive test and negative test.
(iii) Lassaigne extract of and gives positive sodium nitroprusside test.
Based on these observations which option is correct?
Options
- AA : Aspartame; B : Saccharin; C : Sucralose; D : Alitame
- BA : Alitame; B : Saccharin; C : Aspartame; D : Sucralose
- CA : Saccharin; B : Alitame; C : Sucralose; D : Aspartame
- DA : Aspartame; B : Alitame; C : Saccharin; D : Sucralose
Correct answer
A. A : Aspartame; B : Saccharin; C : Sucralose; D : Alitame
Step-by-step solution
Aspartame

Saccharine

Sucralose

Alitame

(i) give positive test with ninhydrin because both have free carboxylic and amine groups.
(ii) form precipitate with in the Lassaigne extract of the sugar because it has chlorine atoms.
(iii) give positive test with sodium nitroprusside because both have sulphur atoms.
