PLUM SUGAR IS BI-PRODUCT, OF THE CALIFORNIA FARMING and FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRYS. PAULING  SALK, BEGAN IN 1958, TO STUDY THE PRUNE PLUM SUGAR TAGATOSE, BECAUSE PRUNE SALES WERE LOW. PLUM SUGAR CRYSTALS, FRACTURE AT TEMPERATURES BELOW -158°C. THEREFORE, THEY COULD NOT GET A CLEAR IMAGE, FROM THE SMALL ELECTRON DIFFRACTION MICROSCOPE, USED AT THE SALK and PAULING INSTITUTES. HOWEVER, WORKING WITH THE EQUIPMENT OF, A FRIEND, WHO BUILT COMPUTER CHIPS, AT INTEL, THEY WERE ABLE, TO MAKE THIS UNUSUAL, TRANVERSE DIRECTION, SIDE STUDY, OF A LARGE CRYSTAL OF TAGATOSE, AT -157°C

A LEED STUDY OF BLUEBERRY SUGAR XY-LU-LOSE MADE @ -198°C IN WARSAW, POLAND

WHEN THEY DREW, THE YELLOW CIRCLES, THE SIZE OF THE ATOMS, IN THE MOLECULE, AROUND THE NUCLEAR HITS, IN THE STUDY. IT SHOWED THEM, THAT TRI-CYCLIC TAGATOSE, ONLY HAD HYDROCSYLS ON ONE SIDE, THE STUDYS OF FRUCTOSE, MADE IN ENGLAND, AND THE STUDYS OF SORBOSE & PSICOSE MADE THE YEAR BEFORE IN WARSAW, POLAND ALL SHOWED, THOSE KETO-HEXOSE SUGARS, WITH  HYDROCSYLS, ON BOTH SIDES. THIS INDICATED TO THEM, THAT PRODUCTS MADE WITH TAGATOSE, WOULD NOT OCSIDIZE, AS FAST, AS THOSE MADE WITH SORBOSE OR PSICOSE.

A COMPUTER SIMULATION OF PRUNE PLUM SUGAR TRI-CYCLIC D-TAGATOSE

IT TOOK MORE THAN 12 YEARS, TO DEVELOP, THE SCIENCE, NECESSARY TO CREATE, THESE 3 COMPUTER SIMULATIONS, OF THIS TAGATOSE, FROM BLACK PRUNE PLUM SUGAR CRYSTALS BECAUSE, EACH OF THE OTHER, THREE D-KETO-HEXOSES, HAD TO BE STUDIED FIRST, BY MANY OTHER RESEARCHERS HOWEVER, AS A RESULT OF THIS WORK, A SYNTHETIC PLUM WINE, IS NOW PRODUCED, FROM TAGATOSE, IN CHINA, FOR SALE, IN CHINESE RESTAURANTS AROUND THE WORLD.

HYDROCSYL SIDE OF TAGALDEN.D-3 TRI-CYCLIC TAGATOSE

THE "A" SHAPE, CREATED, BY THE TWO KETO BRANCHES, SHOWN IN THE BOTTOM HALF, OF THE COMPUTER SIMULATION OF, THE TRI-CYCLIC TAGATOSE MOLECULE, ON THE RIGHT, IS MIRRORED, IN THE STRUCTURAL FORMULA, LEFT, OF THIS IMPORANT KETO-HEXOSE. KETO, IS USED TO DESCRIBE, THE THREE PAIRS OF, OCSION ATOMS, THAT ARE BONDED AT 90°   TO THE CENTRAL ALDEHYDE RINGS OF SUGARS. IN ALL CASES, THE KETO OCSIONS, CREATES AN ESTER, OF THE ACETYL BRANCHES, THAT ARE BONDED TO IT. THE AROMAS, OF FRAGANT FOODS, THAT WE ENJOY, COME FROM, THESE ESTERFIED KETONE SUGARS.

THE "A" SHAPE CREATED BY THE KETO BRANCHES IS MIRRORED IN THE STRUCTURAL FORMULA

HYDROCSI-ETHOCSI ESTER SIDE

•  TAGALDEN.D-3 , TRI-CYCLIC TAGATOSE    IS A SEMI-CLEAR BLAND CHEMICAL SYRUP    WITH THE TASTE OF TANGERINES •  IT TENDS TO FLOAT ON COLD WATER •  IT HOVERS ABOUT 2 CM BELOW THE SURFACE    OF HOT WATER & OTHER WATERY LIQUIDS

•  IT CAN BE USED IN BAKERY GLAZES   •  IT CAN BE USED IN BAKED PRESERVES WITH NUTS. •  IT CAN BE USED WITH VEGETABLES, •  IT CAN BE USED TO SWEETEN BABY FOODS •  IT CAN BE USED AS A SWEETENER FOR MEDICINES •  IT CANNOT BE USED AS A SWEETENER FOR SUPPLEMENTS    WITH VITAMIN B-1 OR BETA CAROTENE
