Glucose in lactose

D-Fructose, also referred to as levulose, is present in equal amounts with o-glucose in fruits and honey. o-Galactose is combined with o-glucose in lactose. Trioses are present as intermediates in metabolic processes.

The concentrations of nine sugars (fucose, methylglucose, arabinose, glucose, fructose, lactose, sucrose, cellobiose, and maltose) in beer, milk, and soda are determined using an... 

D-Galactose Hydrolysis of lactose. Can be changed to glucose in the liver and metabolized. Synthesized in the mammary gland to make the lactose of milk. A constituent of glycolipids and glycoproteins. Failure to metabolize leads to galactosemia and cataract.

Figure 28.5, illustrates TLC of an urine sample by the normal TLC-technique vis-a-vis the wedged-tip technique (Figure 28.5(Z>)). One may clearly visualize the beautiful separated bands in the latter as compared to the several odd and irregular-shaped spots in the former. Both the clarity of separation and the reproducibility of the results are predominant in the latter technique. Figure 28.5 (a) and (b) represent the typical analysis of a urine sample containing glucose, arabinose, lactose and fructose respectively.

Fayolle et al. used a remote system to monitor on-line fermentations.15 Both the substrates (glucose, fructose, lactose, and galactose) and the metabolites (ethanol and lactic acid) were monitored. The equations used were built with PLS. The reference method was HPLC. For the alcohol fermentation, glucose, fructose, and ethanol had SEPs (in g/1) of 3.5, 4.5, and 3.8, respectively. For the lactic acid fermentation, the SEPs for lactose, galactose, and lactic acid were 4.1, 1.4, and 2.0, respectively.

On Ca +-form columns, some separation of monosaccharides is possible and, for the separation of galactose and glucose in dairy products, this is the column of choice. The separation of several disaccharides, such as sucrose plus maltose plus lactose, in sweetened dairy products cannot be accomplished on single-resin columns, however, and separation on amine-modified silica gel or on dual-resin columns " is recommended. These columns are capable of separating the five major food sugars, namely, D-glucose, D-fructose, sucrose, maltose, and lactose, but are subject to rapid degradation if proper precautions are not used (see Section II,2,a). 

Lactose ( milk sugar, 2) is the most important carbohydrate in the milk of mammals. Cow s milk contains 4.5% lactose, while human milk contains up to 7.5%. In lactose, the anomeric OH group of galactose forms a p-glycosidic bond with C-4 of a glucose. The lactose molecule is consequently elongated, and both of its pyran rings lie in the same plane. 

Other sugars and polyols also complex with iron. Fructose is the most effective, but sorbitol, glucose, galactose, lactose, sucrose, pentoses and tetroses can also keep hydrolyzed ferric salts in solution. An excess of sugar must always be present in order to prevent ferric hydroxide precipitate. There appears to be a competition between the OH- and sugar hydroxyls for the Fe3+. 

Figure 4.2.2 depicts the urinary oligosaccharide patterns of sialidosis (a-neur-aminidase deficiency), GM1 gangliosidosis and mucopolysaccharidosis type IVB (/3-galaclosidase deficiency) compared to a normal urine and standards of raffinose, lactose and glucose. In patients with sialidosis, a densely staining band close to the...

Graded Adsorbents and Solvents. Materials used in columns for adsorption chromatography are grouped in Table 12 in an approximate order of effectiveness. Other adsorbents sometimes used include barium carbonate, calcium sulphate, charcoal (usually mixed with kieselguhr or other form of diatomaceous earth, for example, the filter aid Celite), cellulose, glucose and lactose. The alumina can be prepared in several grades of activity (see below).
