D-Lactose monohydrate（Cat No.:R000154） is a disaccharide composed of one molecule of D-glucose and one molecule of D-galactose linked by a β-1,4 glycosidic bond. It is the naturally occurring form of lactose found in milk. D-lactose monohydrate is widely used in the pharmaceutical and food industries. In pharmaceuticals, it is used as an excipient in tablet and capsule formulations due to its inert nature and low cost. In the food industry, D-lactose monohydrate is used as a sweetener and flavor enhancer, particularly in dairy products, baked goods, and infant formula.
