Ice Cream

Featured Ingredient: Tagatose

Main Image

Tagatose works exceptionally well in a number of frozen desserts, including ice cream.

Our testing shows that Tagatose ice cream has similar “scoopability” throughout the product’s shelf life, akin to sucrose.  It also maintains the smooth, creamy texture and mouthfeel found in traditional ice cream, and it has a similar sweetness and dairy taste profile.

Tagatose delivers a number of benefits to ice cream:

  • Is lower in calories than ice cream prepared with sucrose.
  • Has been shown to have prebiotic effects.
  • Tagatose does not promote tooth decay.
