173.3%
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Biological properties. The sweetness of lactose is 0.2 to 0.4, relative to 1.0 for sucrose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Relative sweetness is calculated by taking the relative sweetness of individual sweeteners (lactose is normally omitted) and multiplying this by their concentrations or usage rate (g/100g) in the ice cream mix. The individual calculations are summed to give the relative sweetness.

Detailed explanation-3: -Relative sweetness. is defined as “the ratio of concentrations of substances. matching in sweetness” (12), and it is used to calculate the. concentration of an alternative sweetener that produces. sweetness equivalent to that of sucrose.
