Facts known to us :
It is designated as 4-ortho-β-D-galactopyranosyl-D-glucopyranose.
α-lactose: Ordinary commercial lactose is α-lactose monohydrate.
- Lactose is a disaccharide that yields D-glucose and D-galactose on hydrolysis.
- Lactose is one-sixth times sweeter than sucrose
It is designated as 4-ortho-β-D-galactopyranosyl-D-glucopyranose.
α-lactose: Ordinary commercial lactose is α-lactose monohydrate.
- It is prepared by concentrating an aqueouslactose solution to super saturation and allow for crystallization to take place at a modern rate below 93.5 0C.
- It exhibits a specific rotation of +35.00on anhydrous weight basis. Above 93.50C crystallization or drying of lactose solutions yields β anhydrate.
