Reduction in consumption of sugar is becoming need of the hour, due to its adverse effects on health. Use of alternative low calorie sweeteners have several limitations in their applications. Tagatose appearing as highly promising low calorie sweetener for food applications. In present study suitability of tagatose was evaluated as a sweetener in Lassi. Findings of the study suggest that in preparation of Lassi, from 12 g sucrose 9 g (75%) can be substituted by using 10.8 tagatose along with 3.0 g sucrose per 100 ml. Similarly, in preparation of Lassi, 12 g sucrose can be completely substituted by using blend comprising of 12.96 tagatose and 1.44g fructose as a sweetener per 100 ml.
