For more than a century, food scientists have searched for ways to satisfy a sweet tooth without the health risks tied to ...

Tagatose acts almost exactly like sugar—offering sweetness, bulk and texture in baked goods—and is created with the help of slime mold.

Engineers have developed a new way to produce tagatose, a low-calorie sugar, using engineered bacteria and cheap glucose ...

Scientists at Tufts have found a way to turn common glucose into a rare sugar that tastes almost exactly like table sugar—but with far fewer downsides. Using engineered bacteria as microscopic ...

Compared with common sugars such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose, tagatose exists only in tiny amounts in nature. It ...

Scientists at Tufts University have developed a cheaper, high-yield method to produce tagatose, a rare sugar that tastes like regular sugar but has far fewer calories and minimal impact on blood sugar ...
