(a) Fructose is the most common form of sugar. It is the
sweetest among naturally occurring sugars. It has
sweetening index of 170 (where as the sweetening
index of glucose is 70).

(c) Inulin is homopolysaccharides, which is found in the
root of dahlia plant.

(b) Pentoses and hexoses are the example of
monosaccharides.

(b) Due to heating effect, disaccharides are dissociated into
monosaccharides, which are sweet in nature.

(d) The carbohydrates or sugar where free aldehyde or
ketonic group is absent (utilized in glycosidic bond
formation) can not reduce the above reagents are called
non-reducing sugar i.e., Sucrose, glycogen, starch.

(d) Dextran is a complex polysaccharide prepared either
through partial hydrolysis of starch or polymerization of
sucrose by the bacterium Leuconostoc mesenteroides.
