Tagatose — is it halal?
Description
D-tagatose is a rare sugar sweetener (a ketohexose, an epimer of fructose). The main route is from milk lactose: hydrolysis with lactase or sulphuric acid, then isomerisation of galactose with calcium hydroxide (Arla) or with L-arabinose isomerase of GM bacteria (CJ, Damhert); the lactose comes from cheese whey, where rennet is possible. Other routes are fructose epimerisation (CJ)
