Question

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 :

• A. A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
• B. A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I
• C. A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
• D. A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To solve the match-the-following question accurately, it's important to understand the characteristics and history of artificial sweeteners mentioned in List-I and their descriptions in List-II. Let's analyze each one:

1. Saccharin: Saccharin is known as the first artificial sweetening agent discovered. It was introduced in the 19th century and is not stable at high temperatures. Therefore, it matches with II: First artificial sweetening agent.
2. Aspartame: Aspartame is a high-potency sweetener that is unstable at cooking temperature. It breaks down when exposed to heat, making it unsuitable for cooking. Thus, it matches with IV: Unstable at cooking temperature.
3. Alitame: Alitame is another example of a high-potency sweetener, which is known for its high sweetness level. It matches with I: High potency sweetener.
4. Sucralose: It is well-known for being stable when exposed to heat, which allows it to be used in cooking and baking. Hence, it corresponds to III: Stable at cooking temperature.

Based on the above analysis, the correct matching is:

• A (Saccharin) - II (First artificial sweetening agent)
• B (Aspartame) - IV (Unstable at cooking temperature)
• C (Alitame) - I (High potency sweetener)
• D (Sucralose) - III (Stable at cooking temperature)

Thus, the correct option is A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III.
