Audited Supplier Tagatose is a low carbohydrate functional sweetener, very similar to fructose in structure. It is naturally occurring and can be found in some dairy products. Tagatose has a physical bulk similar to sucrose or table sugar and is almost as sweet. However, it is metabolized differently, has a minimal effect on blood glucose and furthermore provides a prebiotic effect. Tagatose is especially suitable as a flavor enhancer or as a low carbohydrate sweetener.
Tagatose is a natural derivative of the sugar molecule fructose; it's found in powdered milk, hot cocoa, some cheeses and yogurt. Tagatose was also used as a sweetener in diet Pepsi slurpees. It has been regarded as safe for use in food and beverages for many years, and usually sold under the brand name Naturlose. Unlike sugar which provides 4 calories per gram, tagatose provides 1.5 kcal/g. It was originally marketed to be used as a low-calorie sweetener, because unlike other sugar molecules it is only partially metabolized (broken down) by the body. Therefore, it doesn't have the same hyperglycemic (high blood sugar) effect on blood sugar levels as other sweeteners. But now it looks like tagatose may take on a new and improved role.
