Products Description of Lactobionic Acid CAS#96-82-2
Lactobionic acid (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₂), a disaccharide, is derived from the oxidation of lactose. Chemically, it consists of a galactose moiety linked to a gluconic acid molecule via an ether-like bond. The compound can also undergo dehydration to form a lactone.
Due to its chelating, emulsifying, and humectant properties, lactobionic acid is widely used in the chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries. Lactobionic acid and its salts are valuable ingredients in food applications, offering excellent solubility, a pleasant taste, and potential health-promoting properties. Furthermore, the compound may play a significant role in the development of targeted and biocompatible drug delivery systems.
