Uses and synthesis of D-galactose powder

D-galactose powder CAS number 59-23-4, molecular formula :C6H12O6, molecular weight :180.1559. White crystal, Galactose soluble in methanol, ethanol, DMSO and other organic solvents, derived from animal tissues, milk. D-galactose is an important medium and synthetic component in enzyme and biochemical research. D-galactose is also widely used in the pharmaceutical field, both as a carrier and as an active substance. As a component of galactosyltransferase labeled buffer, it supplements the growth of lactobacillus in MRS Broth and induces the expression of uncoupling protein (UCP) in yeast transformation.

Functions of D-galactose powder

1. Energy source (minor but important): D-galactose can be metabolized by the body and provide energy. Although its metabolic pathway is different from that of glucose and it does not provide energy as quickly and directly as glucose, it is still part of the body's energy metabolism.

2. Brain development and function (especially important): D-galactose is essential for the brain development of infants and young children. It is a key component in the synthesis of cerebrosides (an important component of neural tissue). Cerebrosides are essential for the formation of nerve cells, myelination (the formation of the insulation layer of nerve fibers) and neurotransmitter function, which directly affects cognitive function and nervous system development.

3. Immune function: D-galactose is an important monomer for the synthesis of glycoproteins and glycolipids. These sugar molecules play a key role in the immune system and are involved in immune cell recognition, cell communication and immune response. For example, sugar chains on the cell surface help immune cells recognize pathogens and self-cells.

4. Cell communication: D-galactose is a component of cell surface sugar complexes and is involved in cell-to-cell recognition, adhesion and signaling. These cell communication processes are essential for cell growth, differentiation, tissue formation and organ function.

Benefit of D-galactose powder

1. Promote brain development in infants and young children: Breast milk is rich in lactose, ensuring that infants get enough D-galactose to support early brain development. Formula milk powder is also usually added with lactose or D-galactose to simulate the composition of breast milk.

2. Improve cognitive function in the elderly (emerging research field): In recent years, some studies have shown that D-galactose may have potential benefits for improving cognitive function and memory in the elderly. Animal experiments and preliminary human studies have shown that D-galactose may help protect neurons and reduce age-related cognitive decline.

3. Support intestinal health (prebiotic potential): D-galactose may have prebiotic potential, meaning that it can serve as a nutrient source for beneficial intestinal flora and promote the growth of beneficial bacteria, thereby improving intestinal flora balance and intestinal health.

4. Promote calcium absorption (indirectly, through lactose): The digestion products of lactose, D-galactose and glucose, are thought to help increase calcium absorption. Therefore, the intake of dairy products not only provides calcium, but may also indirectly promote calcium utilization through D-galactose.

5. Potential wound healing effect: Some in vitro and animal experiments have shown that D-galactose may have the potential to promote wound healing, which may be related to the participation of D-galactose in extracellular matrix synthesis and cell migration, but more clinical studies are still needed to confirm its effect in human wound healing.

Production methodprocess of D-galactose powder

In an acidic medium, lactose can be hydrolyzed to D (+) -galactose, then dissolved with water, and then crystallized with ethanol to produce D-galactose powder.
