Answer: (d) Sucralose is an artificial sweetening agent which is 600 times sweeter than sucrose and does not provide calories.
Sucrose and glucose are natural sweetening agent Mille aspartame and sucralose are artificial sweetening agent.
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.
