rocess involves a conversion from more easily obtained galactose to tagatose and is highly inefficient, with yields that may reach only 30%.
But researchers at Tufts University have developed a process that could massively scale-up production of tagatose.
In a recent publication in Nature Communications, Assistant Professor Nikhil Nair and postdoctoral fellow Josef Bober, both from the School of Engineering, came up with an innovative way to produce the sugar using bacteria as tiny bioreactors
