QUESTION

Liquid smoke used to avoid the carcinogenic compound present in smoke is?

OPTIONS

(A) Hydrocarbons
(B) Acetic acid
(C) Phenol
(D) Benzypyrin

ANSWER

(D) Benzypyrin

EXPLANATION

Liquid smoke can be purified to remove carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, particularly benzo[a]pyrene, while retaining desirable smoke-flavour components. Acetic acid and phenolic compounds contribute useful preservative or flavour effects rather than being the principal carcinogen targeted. Therefore, option (D) is correct.
