D-Tagatose
D-Tagatose (D- (-) -Tagatose) is a rare monosaccharide found in nature with prebiotic characteristics. D-Tagatose is as a substitute for sucrose and a low-calorie sweetener in foodstuffs such as gum, fruit juice, and beverages. D-Tagatose is also a potential antidiabetic agent for the research of type II diabetes and a prebiotic to help elevate beneficial bacteria in the colon, prevent colon cancer, and lower cholesterol[1].
