Biological Activity

[Description]:

α-Lactose (hydrate) (α-D-Lactose (hydrate)) is the principal carbohydrate in the milk of most mammals. α-Lactose (hydrate) consists of glucose and galactose and exists in the form of two anomers, α and β. α-Lactose (hydrate) has many uses in the food and pharmaceutical industries, such as a free-flowing or agglomerating agent, a diluent for pigments, flavors, or enzymes[1][2][3].
