(b) Glucose
(c) Aspartame
(d) Sucralose

Answer 1

Hello dear brother!

      Sucrose and Glucose are natural sweetening agent, and as we all know, natural sweetening agents always add to our calories. Aspartame and Sucralose are artificial sweetening agent which do not add to our calories. Aspartame is used in cold foods and soft drinks as it is unstable at cooking temperature.

        Thus, option (d) Sucralose is the correct option as it is stable at cooking temperature and also does not provide calories.

Thanks bro. Please mark me brainliest if it helped you. I need 5 brainliest marks.
