The correct choice is (c) Frozen deserts

Easy explanation: High conversion syrups are those which resist crystallization at 4˚C and are sweeter. These are produced by fungal α- amylases and glucoamylases. They contain 30 – 37% maltose, 35 – 43% glucose, 10% maltotriose, 15% other oligosaccharides, all by weight and has dextrose equivalent of 60-70 DE. They are used in making soft candies. They are also used in banking, brewery and soft drink industry.
