Viablife Tagatose-Nutraceuticals Powder Min

Tagatose 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.
