  • Galactose is a monosaccharide constituent, together with glucose, of the disaccharide lactose.
    • ]]>     Galactose (Gal) is a type of sugar which is less sweet than glucose.

     

    It is considered a nutritive sweetener because it has food energy. Its name comes from the Ancient Greek word for milk, ???????? (galaktos).

     

     

    Galactan is a polymer of the sugar galactose. It is found in hemicellulose and can be converted to galactose by hydrolysis.

     

    Galactose solubility in water is 68.30 grams per 100 grams of water at 20–25°C.

     

    Molecular formula: C6H12O6
