Which of the following is the sweetest sugar? (1) Sucrose (2) Glucose (3) Fructose (4) Maltose

1 Answer

Answer :

(3) Fructose Explanation: Sucrose has a relative sweetness of 1.0, while Splenda (Sucralose) of the same quantity is about 600 times sweeter. Fructose is the sweetest of all natural sugar types, with a relative sweetness of 1.73. Xylitol is roughly as sweet as sucrose. Glucose, which is the main component of starch, has a relative sweetness of 0.6-0.7. Of all the sugars, Lactose is the least sweet, with a relative sweetness of 0.16.
