Class 12 Chemistry - Chapter Chemistry in Everyday Life NCERT Solutions | Why do we require artificial sweetening
Why do we require artificial sweetening agents?
Diabetes mellitus is the third leading cause of death in the world. It is a clinical condition characterized by increased blood glucose level due to insufficient or inefficient INSULIN. Diabetes is a major cause of night blindness, renal failure, heart attacks, strokes and obesity. A diabetes patient is advised to consume low calories (i.e. low fat, carbohydrates and high protein fiber rich diet). Carbohydrates should be taken in the form of starches and complex sugars. The intake of refined sugars (sucrose, glucose) should be avoided. Therefore, artificial sweetening agents that do not add to the calorie intake of a person are required. Saccharin (500 times as sweet as sucrose), aspartame (a peptide 160 times sweeter than sucrose) are few examples of artificial sweeteners.
