Tagatose is a raw material of lactose, which is hydrolyzed to obtain galactose (because lactose is a reducing disaccharide formed by the combination of galactose and glucose). Galactose is an isomer of glucose, which is also a The aldose is then converted into ketone-containing six-carbon hexose by isomerase treatment of galactose. Tagatose is a new type of monosaccharide of natural origin, which is an "epimer" of fructose; its sweetness is 92% of the same amount of sucrose, and it is a good low-energy food sweetness It is widely used in food, medicine, cosmetics and other fields.
1. Tagatose is low energy
Tagatose ingested by the body cannot be completely absorbed by the small intestine. Animal experiments have shown that tagatose consumes more energy than it releases during metabolism, does not cause fat precipitation, and provides much less energy than sucrose. Therefore, tagatose is a novel low-energy sweetener that can reduce the incidence of obesity.
2. Tagatose Can Reduce blood sugar
Studies have found that for healthy people and diabetic type 2 Patients, tagatose intake does not cause significant changes in blood sugar, and can significantly inhibit the increase in blood sugar caused by glucose intake in diabetic patients.
3. Tagatose Can Improve intestinal flora
80% of the tagatose ingested by the body cannot be absorbed by the small intestine. This part of the unabsorbed tagatose is
fermented and utilized by some microbial flora in the colon, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria, inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria, and significantly improving the intestinal flora. And some studies believe that tagatose can play a role in inhibiting colon cancer, inhibiting intestinal pathogenic bacteria and promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria such as lactic acid bacteria.
4. tagatose for Anti-caries
Studies have found that tagatose cannot be utilized by microorganisms in the oral cavity, does not lower the pH of dental plaque, and therefore does not cause dental caries. Tagatose has good effects in inhibiting dental plaque and eliminating bad breath, and can be used in oral products such as toothpaste, chewing gum, etc.
