Define Sweetness as a Function of Sugar?

Sweetness is the most recognized functional property of sweeteners. Our preference for sweetness, regarded as innate, is apparent soon after birth and prior to postnatal learning, and decreases with older age. Sweetness is also associated with feelings of pleasure and appreciation or reward, which contribute to the appeal of sweet foods. The combination of sugars and fats in confections provide a sweet taste and texture that complement each other. In beverages, sucrose provides sweetness without altering the subtle flavours of the beverage. The Table below shows sweetness of several common sugars relative to sucrose:
