The correct options are:

  • Increase tenderness of food.
  • Contribute to flavor.

Explanation:

  1. Inhibit the growth of mold: Incorrect. While sugar can act as a preservative in high concentrations (like in jams), its primary role isn't to inhibit mold growth in most processed foods.

  2. Decrease moisture content: Incorrect. Sugar can actually help retain moisture in foods, contributing to a moist texture.

  3. Increase tenderness of food: Correct. Sugar can interfere with gluten formation in baked goods, leading to a more tender texture.

  4. Decrease the need for sodium: Incorrect. Sugar does not directly affect the need for sodium in food processing.

  5. Contribute to flavor: Correct. Added sugars enhance the sweetness and overall flavor profile of foods.
