Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, the orders of sweetness is Fructose>sucrose>glucose>maltose Option B is correct.
Detailed explanation-2: -In dilute water solutions, fructose with 117 has a higher relative sweetness than sucrose (relative sweetness=100). In filling creams with high-sugar levels fructose can be recognized as much sweeter, so we find values from 110 to 170.
Detailed explanation-3: -Carbohydrates differ in sweetness based on composition and source and may be ranked in decreasing order of sweetness as fructose, sucrose, glucose, lactose, dextrin and starch.
Detailed explanation-4: -Fructose and glucose have the same chemical formula (C6H12O6) but have different molecular structures, which makes fructose 1.2–1.8 times sweeter than sucrose. In fact, fructose is the sweetest naturally occurring carbohydrate.
