Galactan（Cat No.:M009751） is a type of polysaccharide predominantly composed of galactose units. It is commonly found in the cell walls of plants, particularly in legumes and certain seaweeds, where it serves structural and storage functions. Galatians vary in structure; some are linear, while others are branched, affecting their physical properties and biological roles. They play a crucial role in the dietary fiber content of foods, contributing to gut health by promoting beneficial bacterial growth and aiding digestion. Galatians are also explored for their potential health benefits, including immune system modulation and anti-inflammatory properties.
