Zenex Organic D-tagatose Powder – Natural Sweetener Powder Pack of 100 Gram

D-Tagatose is a naturally occurring rare monosaccharide, which is a ketose form of galactose and an epimer of fructose. The sweet taste characteristics are similar to sucrose, and the heat generated is only one-third of that of sucrose, so it is called a low calorie sweetener. Tagatose has excellent nutritional characteristics such as low calorie value, zero glycemic index, blood glucose passivation, non caries properties, prebiotic effects, and antioxidant activity.

It is a type of lactose that is hydrolyzed from lactose to obtain galactose (as lactose is a reducing disaccharide formed by the combination of galactose and glucose). Galactose is an isomer of glucose, which is also a hexose. It is then isomerized by an isomerase to convert galactose into a keto containing hexahexulose.
