Understanding the fundamental chemistry of D-Tagatose (CAS: 87-81-0) is essential for R&D scientists and production managers looking to leverage its unique properties. As a dedicated manufacturer and supplier of specialty chemicals from China, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM is committed to providing high-quality D-Tagatose and sharing valuable technical insights. This article explores the production pathways and key chemical characteristics that make D-Tagatose a sought-after ingredient.
D-Tagatose is a hexose, specifically a ketohexose, with the molecular formula C6H12O6 and a molecular weight of 180.16 g/mol. Its production typically involves the isomerization of galactose or lactose derivatives. One common commercial route involves the alkaline isomerization of galactose. Alternative methods include enzymatic conversion processes, which are gaining traction for their efficiency and sustainability. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM, we employ optimized manufacturing processes to ensure the high purity (97% min) of our D-Tagatose, crucial for its diverse industrial applications.
Key physical and chemical properties of D-Tagatose include its appearance as a white, crystalline powder. It exhibits good solubility in water, which is advantageous for liquid formulations. Its melting point typically falls between 130-136 °C. As a ketohexose, tagatose participates in Maillard reactions, contributing to browning and flavor development in food products. Its lower caloric value stems from its unique metabolic pathway, where it is primarily processed in the large intestine, leading to reduced absorption of calories compared to sucrose.
For industrial buyers, understanding these properties is critical for formulation development. Whether you are using D-Tagatose as a sweetener, a fermentation substrate, or a pharmaceutical intermediate, its chemical characteristics dictate its performance. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM offers D-Tagatose for bulk purchase, ensuring that your supply chain is robust and your product quality is consistently maintained. We encourage you to inquire about our D-Tagatose price and technical specifications. As a reliable chemical supplier in China, we are dedicated to supporting your innovation with high-quality ingredients.
