D(+)-lactose monohydrate

Description:
D(+)-lactose monohydrate, with the CAS number 10039-26-6, is a disaccharide sugar composed of glucose and galactose units linked by a β-1,4-glycosidic bond. It is a white, crystalline powder that is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the environment. This compound is soluble in water, with its solubility influenced by temperature. D(+)-lactose monohydrate is commonly found in milk and dairy products, serving as a source of energy and a substrate for fermentation processes. It is often used in the food industry as a sweetener and in pharmaceuticals as an excipient due to its non-toxic nature and compatibility with various formulations. Additionally, lactose is important in the study of lactose intolerance, as individuals lacking the enzyme lactase cannot effectively digest it, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort. The monohydrate form indicates the presence of one molecule of water associated with each molecule of lactose, which can affect its stability and handling properties.
