Galactose is found in dairy products, sugar beets, and other gums and mucilages.
It is also synthesized by the body, where it forms part of glycolipids andglycoproteins in several tissues.

∙ 9y agoDairy products and sugar beets are good sources of galactose. It is also found in the sweet and sappy gum of some trees, as well as the thick and sticky mucilage of some plants.

What two monosaccharides make up milk sugar?
The 2 mono saccharides that make up lactose are glucose and galactose. Glucose is basically sugar in its most basic form. It is made by plants through photosynthesis.
Galactose is a product of enzymatic hydrolysis of?
Galactose is obtained from lactose (the milk sugar) after its hydrolysis carried out by the enzyme beta-galactosidase (or lactase) yielding beta-D-glucose and alpha-D-galactose.
What is agarobiose?
Agarobiose, the repeating unit of Agarose, is a disaccharide composed of D-galactose and 3,6-anhydro-L-galactose
What are the products of hydrolysis of maltose?
When a molecule of lactose is hydrolyzed the monomers that had linked together to form lactose will be pulled away from each other through the addition of lactose. Lactose is made from GLUCOSE AND GALACTOSE, henceforth these two monomers will emerge through the hydrolysis of lactose. Hope this helps...
Would you be able to distiguish maltose from lactose in a unknown sample from doing barfoed's test?
Both maltose aswell as lactose are disaccharides, where maltose is made up of two glucose units, whereas lactose is made up of 1 unit of glucose and 1 unit of galactose. Barfoed's test answers only for mono and disaccharides. Presence of red precipitate would indicate a positive result for monosaccharides. Thus doing Barfoed's test does not distinguish between maltose and galactose since both are disaccharides.
What does not belong in the grouping with galactose?
Sucrose is not a monosaccharide as galactose.
Which monosaccharide is a product of milk digestion?
galactose
Is galactose a complex carb?
is galactose a complex carbohydrate
Which sugar when hydrolyse would yield a molecule of glucose and galactose?
lactose
When was Galactose - EP - created?
Galactose - EP - was created in 1999.
How many atoms of hydrogen are present in a molecule of galactose?
Galactose is C6H12O6
What monosaccharides make up lactose?
Glucose and Galactose.
What is the difference between lactose and galactose?
galactose and lactose is the same galactose is found in the milk of mammals and even lactose is present in the milk of mammals
What does galactose galactose and glucose make?
The monosaccharides galactose and glucose, when bonded together through a condensation reaction, form the disaccharide lactose.
What is an example of galactose?
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.
What are the differences between glucose and galactose?
they are all the same but the difference is galactose has different spacial
Is galactose a polysaccaride?
No
