D-Tagatose has attracted a great deal of attention in recent Years due to its health benefits and similar properties to sucrose. D-Tagatose can be used as a low-calorie sweetener, as an intermediate for synthesis of other optically active compounds, and as an additive in detergent, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical formulation. Biotransformation of D-tagatose has been produced using several biocatalyst sources. Among the biocatalysts, L-arabinose isomerase has been mostly applied for D-tagatose production because of the industrial feasibility for the use Of D-galactose as a substrate. In this article, the characterization of many L-arabinose isomerases and their D-tagatose production is compared. Protein engineering and immobilization of the enzyme for increasing the conversion rate of D-galactose to D-tagatose are also reviewed.
