What is D-tagatose?
D-Tagatose is a naturally occurring rare sugar, structurally a monosaccharide, found in small amounts in dairy products, fruits such as apples, and cacao. It is known for its low caloric value (1.5 kcal/g) and minimal impact on blood glucose, making it a healthier alternative to sucrose. D-Tagatose has the CAS number 87-81-0, while related isomers include L-Tagatose (CAS 17598-82-2) and the racemic form D/L-Tagatose (CAS 17598-81-1) – with D-Tagatose being the biologically active and most beneficial form. Also known as D-lyxo-Hex-2-ulose or (3S,4S,5R)-1,3,4,5,6-Pentahydroxy-hexan-2-one, it has the molecular formula C6H12O6 and molecular weight 180.16 g/mol. Commercially, it is available as a white crystalline powder with purity ≥98%, high bioavailability, and is commonly supplied in 25kg fiber drums for industrial use. BSH Ingredients, the leading bulk D-Tagatose powder supplier in China, offers not only high-quality wholesale supply but also OEM services including capsules, tablets, blending, and custom packaging to meet diverse application needs in food, beverage, nutraceutical, and functional product markets.

Bulk D-tagatose Applications
Food and Beverages
D-Tagatose is widely used as a low-calorie sweetener in dairy, baked goods, confectionery, and beverages. With 90% of the sweetness of sugar and only 1.5 kcal/g, it provides a clean sugar-like taste while reducing calories.
Nutraceuticals and Dietary Supplements
As a functional ingredient, D-Tagatose supports glycemic control, gut health, and weight management. It is used in capsules, tablets, and functional blends, making it attractive to nutraceutical brands.
Oral Care Products
Unlike traditional sugars, D-Tagatose is non-cariogenic and helps reduce the risk of tooth decay. It is increasingly applied in sugar-free gums, mints, and oral care formulations for dental health.
Diabetic and Low-GI Foods
D-Tagatose has a low glycemic index and minimal impact on blood glucose and insulin levels. This makes it ideal for diabetic-friendly, keto, and low-carb products, offering sweetness without spiking blood sugar.

Tagatose and allulose are both rare sugars with lower calories than sucrose. D-Tagatose provides 1.5 kcal/g and has about 90% the sweetness of sugar, while allulose has only 0.4 kcal/g and about 70% sweetness. Both have minimal impact on blood sugar, but D-Tagatose offers added benefits such as prebiotic effects and antioxidant properties, making it more versatile for functional food applications.
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol with almost zero calories (0.2 kcal/g) and about 70% sweetness, while D-Tagatose is a natural rare sugar with 1.5 kcal/g and about 90% sweetness. Unlike erythritol, tagatose also provides prebiotic benefits and a taste profile very close to sucrose, making it ideal for premium food and beverage formulations.
Stevia is a high-intensity plant-based sweetener, up to 200–300 times sweeter than sugar, but it can leave a bitter aftertaste. D-Tagatose has a sweetness profile much closer to sugar and no aftertaste, making it a better choice when taste and functionality are critical. Both are keto friendly, but tagatose is often preferred for bakery, dairy, and nutraceutical applications.
Alpha D-Tagatose refers to the naturally occurring stereoisomeric form of tagatose, which determines its structural configuration. It is the bioactive form used in food and nutritional applications and is recognized for its health benefits.
D-Tagatose is classified as a monosaccharide and a rare sugar. It is a stereoisomer of fructose and falls under the category of Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) sweeteners according to the FDA.
D-Tagatose has four chiral carbons in its molecular structure, which gives rise to its stereoisomeric forms including D-Tagatose, L-Tagatose, and the D/L racemic mixture. D-Tagatose is the biologically active form most widely used.
Yes, D-Tagatose is FDA-recognized as GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) and considered a natural rare sugar, since it occurs naturally in dairy products, fruits, and cacao in small amounts.
Commercially, D-Tagatose is typically produced from lactose (milk sugar) through enzymatic processes that convert galactose into tagatose. This makes it a sustainable and naturally derived sweetener.
Yes, D-Tagatose is keto friendly due to its low caloric value, minimal glycemic impact, and ability to be used in low-carb and ketogenic diet formulations.
No, D-Tagatose is not artificial. It is a naturally occurring rare sugar found in small amounts in foods like dairy and fruits, and is produced through natural enzymatic conversion processes.
D-Tagatose is about 90% as sweet as sucrose, with a clean, sugar-like taste and no aftertaste, making it an excellent one-to-one replacement in many food and beverage applications.
