D-(+)-Lactose 1-hydrate - Introduction
Lactose monohydrate is a naturally occurring carbohydrate with the chemical formula C12H22O11 · H2O. It is a disaccharide formed by the combination of glucose and galactose and is a white crystalline solid.
Monohydrate lactose is widely used as a sweetener in the food industry. It can be used to make food, beverages, desserts, etc. to increase its sweetness and taste. It is also an important nutritional supplement and is often used in infant formula to provide energy and promote intestinal health.
The preparation method of lactose monohydrate is mainly obtained by reacting glucose and galactose under appropriate conditions. Glucose and galactose are first dissolved in water, and then the solution is subjected to evaporation and crystallization to obtain crystals of lactose monohydrate.
Lactose monohydrate is safe at normal doses, but excessive intake may lead to bloating, diarrhea, stomach pain and other dyspeptic symptoms. For people with diabetes, it is necessary to pay attention to the intake of lactose monohydrate to avoid affecting blood sugar levels. For allergic constitution, should be used with caution, may cause allergic reactions.
