Use | D-galactose is an important medium and synthetic component in enzyme and biochemical research. It is also widely used in the pharmaceutical field, both as a carrier and as an active substance. as a component of galactosyltransferase labeling buffer, growth of Lactobacillus was supplemented in MRS broth to induce expression of uncoupling protein (UCP) in yeast transformation. It is used in organic synthesis and in medicine to measure liver function nutritional medicine. |
production method | 1.? Lactose can be hydrolyzed to D( +)-galactose in acidic medium, then dissolved with water, and then precipitated by ethanol to obtain a pure product. |
