Tagatose

Description

Basic Information of FDA Tagatose for sale:

High purity FDA Tagatose for sale has a sweetness of 90% of sucrose and only 1/3 of its calories, and it also has the processing characteristics of sucrose, making it easy to undergo caramelization and Maillard reactions. It can be used as a substitute for sucrose in food processing. At the same time, when used with other sweeteners, tagatose has a synergistic effect on sweetness and can present unique flavors. 

Tagatose has a low absorption rate in the body, with only 20% being absorbed by the small intestine, and there is no significant change in blood sugar levels. Most of the tagatose in the body is selectively fermented by intestinal microorganisms, which is beneficial to the proliferation of beneficial bacteria and improves the intestinal microflora.

FDA approved tagatose as a sweetener for food and beverages and pharmaceutical preparations in 2000. 

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) Food Additives Panel approved tagatose as a food additive in 2001, and the European Union approved its marketing in 2003. China officially approved its use in 2014.

Effects of FDA D-Tagatose Products for sale:

Physiological function and application of high purity D-tagatose products for sale.

1.Low calorie sweeteners, can occur Maillard reaction, applied to food

The sweetness of D-tagatose is 92% of that of sucrose, but the calories are only 37.5% of that of sucrose (the calories of sucrose are 4 kcal/g)[5], which is a low-calorie sweetener. It can produce Maillard reaction with protein in food, thereby improving the color and flavor of food, and has important applications in baked goods, beverages and candy.

2.Prevent obesity, reduce blood glucose, and assist in the treatment of type Ⅱ diabetes

D-tagatose is a low-calorie functional sweetener, which can be used in food instead of traditional sweeteners such as sucrose and can alleviate obesity and reduce blood glucose [9]. In the field of medical care, D-tagatose can be used to prepare drugs for the treatment of type Ⅱ diabetes and obesity [10-12].

3.Excellent prebiotics are beneficial to human intestinal health

D-tagatose can be fermented by intestinal flora in the colon, stimulating the growth of probiotics in the intestine, while inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the intestine [13]. In addition, the fermentation process of D-tagatose can produce short-chain fatty acids that are beneficial to human intestinal health, such as butyrate, which can promote the growth and reproduction of colonic epithelial cells and inhibit the occurrence of colon cancer [14].

4.Anti-caries, conducive to the protection of dental health

Because D-tagatose cannot be used by microorganisms in the mouth, it is beneficial to reduce the production of acidic substances in the mouth and reduce tooth corrosion, thus effectively preventing the occurrence of dental diseases such as gingivitis, dental caries and halitosis [13].

5. As a substrate to produce other rare sugar alcohols

According to the strategy of producing hexose by bioconversion method, namely Izumoring strategy [15], rare sugar alcohols with important physiological functions such as D-sorbitose, D-tagitol and galacitol can be obtained from D-tagitose through appropriate enzyme catalysis.
