Description

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.
