Match List I with List II
List I                             List II
A. Saccharin         I. High potency sweetener
B. Aspartame       II. First artificial sweetening agent
C. Alitame             III. Stable at cooking temperature
D. Sucralose         IV. Unstable at cooking temperature
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

• Reason: Discovered in 1879, Ortho-sulphobenzimide (Saccharin) is the very first popular artificial sweetening agent. It is roughly 550 times sweeter than cane sugar and is excreted unchanged in the urine, making it highly valuable for diabetic individuals.

• Reason: Aspartame decomposes at higher temperatures, meaning its application is strictly limited to cold foods and carbonated soft drinks.

• Reason: Alitame is an extremely high-potency sweetener, possessing a sweetness value roughly 2,000 times that of cane sugar. Because it is so hyper-concentrated, controlling the precise sweetness of food during preparation is quite difficult.

• Reason: Sucralose is a trichloro derivative of sucrose. It looks and tastes remarkably like regular sugar but remains completely chemically stable at high cooking and baking temperatures without providing extra calories.

Hence, Option D is correct.
