Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bioengineering, in particular to a tagatose-producing genetically engineered bacterium and a method for preparing tagatose. Background technique
[0002] Tagatose is a rare monosaccharide that occurs naturally and is the ketose form of galactose, the epimer of fructose. The sweetness of tagatose is similar to that of sucrose, and its calories are only one-third of that of sucrose, so it is called a low-calorie sweetener. Natural tagatose is mainly found in dairy products such as yogurt and milk powder. Tagatose offers a very fresh and pure sweetness, with a taste profile similar to fructose. Studies have shown that tagatose has important physiological functional properties such as low calorie, low glycemic index, anti-caries, anti-oxidation, prebiotics, improvement of intestinal function, immune regulation, and drug precursors, and can be widely used in food, beverages, medicine, It has great economic ...
