D-galactose-1-D, with the CAS number 64267-73-8, is a monosaccharide, specifically an epimer of glucose, and is part of the galactose family of sugars. It is a white, crystalline solid that is soluble in water, reflecting its polar nature due to multiple hydroxyl (-OH) groups. D-galactose-1-D plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including its involvement in the synthesis of lactose and glycoproteins. It is also significant in cellular metabolism and energy production. The substance can exist in different anomeric forms, which can influence its reactivity and interactions in biochemical pathways. As a reducing sugar, it can participate in Maillard reactions, contributing to flavor and color development in food. Additionally, D-galactose-1-D is utilized in research and industrial applications, particularly in the study of carbohydrate metabolism and as a substrate in enzymatic assays. Its safety profile indicates that it is generally recognized as safe when used appropriately, although excessive consumption may lead to metabolic disturbances in sensitive individuals.
