This naturally occurring monosaccharide is a ketohexose sugar, closely related to fructose but with a unique configuration at the C-4 position. It delivers 92% of the sweetness of sucrose while providing only 1.5 kcal/g—about one-third the calories of regular sugar, making it an ideal low-calorie sweetener.

Highly water-soluble, heat-stable (pH 2–7), and non-cariogenic (does not promote tooth decay), this sugar alternative is perfect for use in beverages, baked goods, dietary supplements, and other health-conscious food formulations.

D-Tagatose is generally safe, but high intake may cause gastrointestinal discomfort in some individuals. Those on blood sugar or blood pressure medications should consult a healthcare provider before use.

As a natural, low-calorie sweetener, D-Tagatose is ideal for health-focused formulations, offering functional benefits across food, beverage, and nutraceutical industries.
