a monosaccharide formed when lactose is hydrolyzed into glucose and galactose. Galactose (Gal) is a type of sugar which is less sweet than glucose. It is considered a nutritive sweetener because it has food energy. Galactan is a polymer of the sugar galactose. It is found in hemicellulose and can be converted to galactose by hydrolysis. Galactose solubility in water is 68.30 grams per 100 grams of water at 20-25°C.

Incidentially the human body also makes galactose from glucose, obviously for human milk, but it has other purposes as well in glycoaminoglycans, a substance in the extracellular matrix (this is probably beyond the scope of your course).
