D-Galactose Usage

1.It is an important culture medium and synthetic component in enzyme and biochemistry research

2.Used in the pharmaceutical field as both a carrier and an active substance

3.Used in organic synthesis and in medicine to determine liver function.

4.It is a component of galactosyltransferase labeled buffer, supplemented with the growth of Lactobacillus in MRS broth, and induced the expression of uncoupling protein (UCP) transformation in yeast

Biochemical Research
-Used in studies of carbohydrate metabolism pathways (such as the mechanism of galactosemia).
-Applied to prepare model compounds for biomolecules like glycoproteins and glycolipids.
Medical Field:
-Serves as a drug carrier or excipient (e.g., for tablet coating).
-Functions as a tool compound in researching galactose – metabolism – related diseases (such as hereditary galactose metabolism disorders).
Food and Cosmetics
-Acts as a sweetener or nutritional supplement (less directly used, more often for synthesizing functional sugars).
-In cosmetics, it is used as a humectant or a carrier for active ingredients.
Industry and Scientific Research
-Employed to prepare galactose derivatives (such as galactitol and galactosides).
-Utilized as a component in microbial culture media.

Packaging and Shipping

Packing: 25kg/Drum

D-Galactose Storage

D – Galactose should be stored in a sealed container in a dry and cool place, avoiding exposure to moisture and high temperatures.
