alpha-Lactose hydrate (alpha-D-Lactose monohydrate) is the principal carbohydrate found in the milk of most mammals. It is a disaccharide consisting of glucose and galactose linked by a beta-1,4-glycosidic bond, existing in two anomeric forms, alpha and beta. alpha-Lactose hydrate has extensive applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries, serving as a free-flowing or agglomerating agent and a diluent for pigments, flavors, or enzymes. In biological research, it is the fundamental substrate for studying lactose metabolism and the mechanisms of lactose intolerance.
