Article Synopsis
  • Scientists created new types of sugars called oligosaccharides from two rare sugars, D-tagatose and L-sorbose, using a special enzyme from bacteria.
  • They found that the oligosaccharides made from D-tagatose were more common and better at resisting digestion in the body than those made from L-sorbose.
  • The research shows that these new sugars could help improve gut health and might be useful as low-calorie sweeteners and prebiotics, which are good for our tummy bacteria.
