Lactobionic Acid CAS：96-82-2
Outstanding Water Solubility：Lactobionic acid dissolves readily in water at a rate of 10g per 100mL, rendering it highly applicable for diverse uses in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic product development.
Skin & Health Benefits：Renowned for its strong chelating and moisturizing effects, it effectively locks in skin moisture and boosts the absorption and performance of active substances in healthcare and personal care items.
Biocompatible Delivery Material：It acts as a crucial ingredient in the design of safe, biocompatible targeted drug delivery systems, helping to elevate therapeutic effects while lowering potential adverse reactions.
Mild Taste & High Safety：When used as a food additive, lactobionic acid features a gentle, pleasant flavor and excellent safety, making it a preferred choice for improving taste and product acceptance without posing health risks.
Lactobionic acid, with the molecular formula C₁₂H₂₂O₁₂, is a type of disaccharide substance formed by the oxidation reaction of lactose. Its molecular structure consists of a galactose segment connected to a gluconic acid unit through an ether bond. Under appropriate conditions, this compound can be dehydrated to generate its corresponding lactone.
Possessing excellent chelating, emulsifying and moisturizing traits, lactobionic acid enjoys wide applications in the chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries. In food production, it is highly recognized for its good water solubility, mild taste and health benefits. Furthermore, lactobionic acid and its salts are playing a more significant role in the development of biocompatible targeted drug delivery systems, which helps improve both the targeting accuracy and safety of medications.
