First Claim
Patent Images
1. An enzymatic process for preparing tagatose, the process comprising the steps of:
- (i) converting fructose 6-phosphate (F6P) to tagatose 6-phosphate (T6P) catalyzed by a fructose 6-phosphate epimerase (F6PE); and
(ii) converting the T6P produced to tagatose catalyzed by a tagatose 6-phosphate phosphatase (T6PP);
wherein steps (i)-(ii) are conducted in a single reaction vessel.
