D-tagatose is a naturally occurring rare sugar known for its sweet taste and low caloric value. Chemically, it is a ketohexose monosaccharide and is structurally similar to D-fructose, but with a different spatial arrangement of the hydroxyl group on its fourth carbon atom. With a relative sweetness of approximately 92% compared to sucrose, D-tagatose provides only about 38% of the calories. This makes it an ideal sugar alternative for health-conscious consumers.

• Low Glycemic Response: D-tagatose has a minimal impact on blood sugar and insulin levels, making it suitable for diabetic-friendly formulations.
• Prebiotic Function: It serves as a beneficial substrate for gut microbiota, supporting digestive health.
• Lipid Profile Improvement: Research suggests that D-tagatose may help regulate lipid metabolism, potentially reducing LDL cholesterol levels.
• Oral Health Protection: Unlike conventional sugars, D-tagatose has antimicrobial properties that may inhibit the growth of harmful oral bacteria, reducing the risk of cavities.
