Prices of food grade tagatose Tagatose factory direct price

Tagatose (Tagatose): is lactose as raw material, obtained by the hydrolysis of galactose (due to lactose galactose and glucose combine to generate reducing disaccharide), galactose isomer of glucose, is also a aldohexose, and enzyme-treated isomerization of galactose is converted to produce a sugar containing six carbon cyclohexanone ketone group. English name: Tagatose; D-lyxo-Hexulose traits: a six-carbon ketone sugar, fructose is the difference between the isomers. Formula C6H12O6, relative molecular mass 180.16. Rotational body and right body in two forms, commonly used as a right-handed body D- tagatose. White odorless crystalline powder, sweet, sucrose sweetness equivalent amount of 92%, and the heat generated is only sucrose 1/3 (1.5kcal / g), m.p. 132 ~ 135 ℃, soluble in water, in water solubility of 62% (30 ℃). The thermal stability, glass transition temperature of 15 ℃, easy to crystallize, low moisture absorption. Acid-resistant, stable at pH2 ~ 7 range. Caramelization and Maillard reaction browning reaction prone. Natural tagatose is mainly present in yogurt, milk powder and other dairy products. Uses: low-calorie sweeteners; wetting resistance; texturizing agent; stabilizer.
