Which sugar does not increases the calorific value?
Which sugar does not increases the calorific value?
- A. sucrose
- B. Glucose
- C. Aspartame
- D. Fructose
Step-by-step solution
Sucrose, glucose, and fructose are carbohydrates that provide 4 kcal per gram, thus increasing calorific value. Aspartame is an artificial sweetener that is intensely sweet but used in tiny amounts, contributing negligible calories, so it does not significantly increase calorific value.
