D-Tagatose 是自然界中发现的一种罕见的单糖，具有益生元特性。它是研究II型糖尿病的潜在抗糖尿病药物，也是帮助提升结肠有益细菌、预防结肠癌和抑制胆固醇的益生元。它是蔗糖的替代品，也是口香糖、果汁和饮料等食品中的低热量甜味剂。

D-Tagatose, a rare natural hexoketose, is an isomer of d-galactose. D-Tagatose occurs naturally in Sterculia setigera gum, and it is also found in small quantities in various foods such as sterilized and powdered cow's milk, hot cocoa, and a variety of cheeses, yogurts, and other dairy products. It can be synthesized from D-galactose by isomerization under alkaline conditions in the presence of calcium. D-Tagatose have numerous health benefits, including promotion of weight loss, no glycemic effect, anti-plaque, non-cariogenic, anti-halitosis, prebiotic, and anti-biofilm properties, organ transplants, enhancement of flavor, improvement of pregnancy and fetal development, treatment of obesity, and reduction in symptoms associated with type 2 diabetes, hyperglycemia, anemia, and hemophilia.
