Which of the following sequence correctly representthe sweetness of Glucose, Sucrose and Fructose
|
|
Glucose < Sucrose < Fructose
|
|
|
Sucrose < Glucose < Fructose
|
|
|
Glucose ≤ Sucrose < Fructose
|
|
|
Glucose > Fructose > Sucrose
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, the orders of sweetness is Fructose>sucrose>glucose>maltose Option B is correct.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
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.
