Trans Fatty Acids in Food

Question 53: Match List I with List II: List I: Type of Food List II: % trans fatty acids/gram A. French Fries (iii) 28 B. Pizza (iv) 9 C. Muffin (i) 14 D. Chocolate Bar (ii) 2 Choose the correct answer from the options given below: (A) (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV) (B) (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II) (C) (A) - (IV), (B) - (II), (C) - (I), (D) - (III) (D) (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)

Question 53:

Match List I with List II:

List I: Type of Food List II: % trans fatty acids/gram
A. French Fries (iii) 28
B. Pizza (iv) 9
C. Muffin (i) 14
D. Chocolate Bar (ii) 2

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(A) (A) – (I), (B) – (II), (C) – (III), (D) – (IV)
(B) (A) – (III), (B) – (IV), (C) – (I), (D) – (II)
(C) (A) – (IV), (B) – (II), (C) – (I), (D) – (III)
(D) (A) – (IV), (B) – (III), (C) – (II), (D) – (I)

The correct answer is (B) (A) – (III), (B) – (IV), (C) – (I), (D) – (II).

This matches French fries (28% trans fat/gram), pizza (9%), muffin (14%), and chocolate bar (2%), aligning with typical partially hydrogenated oil contents in fried and baked items.

Option Breakdown

(A) (A)-(i) 14%, (B)-(ii) 2%, (C)-(iii) 28%, (D)-(iv) 9%

Incorrect; underrates fried foods like fries (higher trans) and overrates low-fat chocolate.​

(B) (A)-(iii) 28%, (B)-(iv) 9%, (C)-(i) 14%, (D)-(ii) 2%

Correct; fries often hit 20-30% from par-frying, pizza ~9%, muffins 10-14% from shortenings, chocolate bars ~2%.

(C) (A)-(iv) 9%, (B)-(ii) 2%, (C)-(i) 14%, (D)-(iii) 28%

Wrong; assigns low value to high-trans fries and high to chocolate, opposite of data.​

(D) (A)-(iv) 9%, (B)-(iii) 28%, (C)-(ii) 2%, (D)-(i) 14%

No; pizza at 28% is too high, muffins/chocolate swapped low.​

Introduction to Trans Fatty Acids Gram Food

Trans fatty acids gram food levels vary: high in fried like French fries (up to 28%) due to oils, moderate in pizza/muffins from shortenings. GATE Life Sciences tests this matching for health/nutrition awareness.

Trans Fat Sources and Levels

Partially hydrogenated oils boost trans fats; fries average 20-30 g/100g fat, pizza 9%, baked muffins 14%, chocolate low at 2 g/100g. Bans reduced averages, but legacy data fits question.
Per gram likely means g/100g fat basis.​

Matching Options Table

Food % Trans Fat/gram Matching Code Rationale ​
French Fries 28 (iii) Par-fried oils
Pizza 9 (iv) Cheese/dough
Muffin 14 (i) Shortening
Chocolate Bar 2 (ii) Cocoa butter

Option B correctly pairs for trans fatty acids gram food.​
