DOI: 10.1080/10408398.2015.1126550
Abstract: ABSTRACT D-tagatose is a naturally existing rare monosaccharide having prebiotic properties. Minimal absorption, low metabolizing energy, and unique clinical properties are the characteristics of D-tagatose. D-tagatose gained international attention by matching the purpose of alternate… read more here.
