Best Health Natural Sweetener Tagatose, which has a very similar taste and texture to sucrose. Sweetness is as 92% as sweet as sugar, but with only 38% of the calories.
Tagatose is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FAO/WHO. USA Food and Drug Administration approved tagatose as a food additive in October 2003 and designated it as generally recognized as safe (GRAS). Korea Food & Drug Administration approved tagatose as health functional food for antihyperglycemic effect. European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) approved tagatose as novel food and novel food ingredient.
Since it is metabolized differently from sucrose, tagatose has a minimal effect on blood glucose and insulin levels. Tagatose is also approved as a tooth-friendly ingredient.
Tagatose is produced from Galactose through an enzymatic process. The health effects of Tagatose on blood glucose level after meal. Tagatose is a natural sweetener. a sweet fillers, suppress high blood sugar. It can improve the intestinal flora, and anti-tooth decay, eliminate bad breath.
1. Anti-hyperglycemic effect
3. can improve the intestinal flora
5. Similar sweetness and sensory profile compared to sugar
Tagatose is an interesting natural sweetener that is just slightly less sweet than sugar. It has 92% of the sweetness but only 38% of the calories so it is useful as part of a calorie controlled diet. It is a monosaccharide with a simple molecular structure similar to glucose.
It has a good taste and a texture similar to sugar. It occurs naturally, but in small quantities in milk, also in certain fruits.
It has less than half the calories of sugar. It has a zero glycemic index. This makes it very suitable as part of a diabetic diet. Unlike most sugars it is not harmful to teeth, in fact it has been shown to help prevent damage to teeth. It is also a prebiotic. This means that it assists in the development of beneficial bacteria in the gut. It is also reputed to slow the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream, so it may be of additional use for diabetics in this regard.

The nutrition requirement of turtle and its compound feed
The soft-shelled turtle, commonly known as "fish," "yuan fish," or "water fish," is a vertebrate belonging to the class Reptilia, order Chelonia, and genus *Pelodiscus*. There are over 30 species in this genus, all native to temperate and subtropical regions of Asia. Among them, three domestic species—*P. sinensis*, *P. subquadratus*, and *P. maackii*—are widely farmed. The Chinese sturgeon, often referred to as a "turtle," is another closely related species.
Due to its high nutritional value, medicinal properties, and delicious taste, the soft-shelled turtle has gained popularity both domestically and internationally. However, the rapid decline in natural populations has led to a significant supply-demand gap, causing prices to soar. As a result, soft-shelled turtle farming has expanded rapidly across China. Two main breeding methods are used: natural breeding and warm-water cultivation. In cold climates, natural breeding can take 4–5 years, which is not commonly used anymore. Instead, warm-water ponds allow turtles to be moved outdoors once water temperatures rise in April, enabling faster growth.
Warm-water cultivation is a more efficient method, producing market-ready turtles in 12–14 months. Maintaining a water temperature around 30°C is crucial, and it’s important to prevent hibernation during winter. Nutrition and feed management have become critical issues in the industry. If not properly addressed, these challenges can lead to economic losses for farmers. To support sustainable practices, we’ll explore key aspects of nutrition and feeding in artificial breeding.
**First, the Nutritional Needs of Soft-Shelled Turtles**
1. **Protein Requirements**
Protein is essential for growth and development. Juveniles require higher protein levels, typically around 50%, while adults need less. Studies by Japanese researchers indicate that optimal protein levels vary with size and water temperature. For example, at 28–30°C, juvenile clams require 50% protein, while larger ones (50.77–61.90g) thrive on 47.32–49.16%. Plant-based proteins are poorly utilized, with animal-to-vegetable ratios of 6:1 being ideal. Fish meal, especially white fish meal, is most effective due to its balanced amino acid profile and strong aroma.
2. **Fat Requirements**
Fat provides energy and essential fatty acids, and supports cell membrane structure. Soft-shelled turtles have higher energy needs than other aquatic animals due to their semi-terrestrial lifestyle. Adding oils like corn oil (3–5%) improves feed efficiency and palatability. Linoleic acid-rich oils promote better growth.
3. **Carbohydrates**
Carbohydrates serve as an energy source and feed binder. α-starch is most effective, with optimal levels between 20–30%. Cellulose should be limited to under 10%, and young turtles require slightly less than adults.
4. **Vitamins**
Vitamins are crucial for metabolic functions. Deficiencies in B6, niacin, and B12 can cause poor growth, reduced appetite, and reproductive issues. A vitamin complex is necessary to ensure healthy development.
5. **Minerals**
Minerals support bone formation, blood production, and osmotic balance. Lack of minerals leads to developmental issues and disease.
**Second, Unique Nutritional Characteristics**
Soft-shelled turtles differ from fish and land animals in nutrient utilization. They require more protein and fat, use fat as a primary energy source, and have low starch absorption. Their mineral needs also vary significantly.
**Third, Feed Composition and Technology**
Modern turtle feed replaces natural sources with compound feeds tailored to nutritional requirements. Key ingredients include fishmeal, soybeans, yeast, and starch. Processing requires fine grinding (over 100 mesh), and quality control varies among producers.
**Fourth, Feeding Practices**
Feeding should follow four principles: consistency in type, quantity, timing, and location. At 30°C, turtles eat best, consuming 3–8% of their body weight daily. Feeding frequency depends on water temperature and growth stage.
By understanding these nutritional and feeding strategies, farmers can improve productivity and sustainability in soft-shelled turtle farming.
D-Tagatose Powder is one of the sweeteners. We have other sweeteners. The effective component of Monk Fruit Extract is Mogroside. Mogroside is 300 times sweeter than sucrose and does not produce heat. It is a valuable raw material in beverage and candy industry and the best substitute for sucrose. Aspartame powder, in food and soft drinks, usually aspartame is 180 ~ 220 times sweeter than sucrose. Erythritol Powder, In general, the relative sweetness of aspartame was negatively correlated with the concentration of control sucrose, and varied with different flavor systems, pH, tasting temperature and the concentration of sucrose or other sugars. Erythritol is a kind of filling sweetener, which is a four carbon sugar alcohol. The sweetness of erythritol is only 60% - 70% of sucrose. It has a cool taste, pure taste and no aftertaste. It can be combined with high times sweetener to inhibit the bad flavor of high times sweetener. We strongly recommend pregabalin Powder. It's the best product we sell.
