Question

Arrange the following artificial sweetening agents in order of increasing sweetness: \[ \text{Aspartame, Saccharin, Sucralose, Acesulfame} \]

• A. Acesulfame > Saccharin > Sucralose > Aspartame
• B. Aspartame > Acesulfame > Saccharin > Sucralose
• C. Acesulfame > Sucralose > Saccharin > Aspartame
• D. Sucralose > Aspartame > Acesulfame > Saccharin

Hint:

Sweeteners like Sucralose and Saccharin are much sweeter than traditional sugar, while Aspartame is less sweet in comparison.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The sweetness of artificial sweeteners varies, and their relative sweetness can be compared as follows: - Sucralose is the sweetest among these agents, approximately 600 times sweeter than sucrose.
- Acesulfame K (Acesulfame) is about 200 times sweeter than sucrose.
- Saccharin is about 300 times sweeter than sucrose.
- Aspartame is approximately 180-200 times sweeter than sucrose. Therefore, the order of increasing sweetness is: Aspartame < Saccharin < Acesulfame < Sucralose Thus, the correct answer is Option (C).
