Melibiose dihydrate

Dihydrate, monoclinic crystals from water or dil alcohol mp 84-85. Shows mutarotalion. [c ] +111.7 — 129.5 (c = 4), One gram dissolves in 0.4 ml water, 8.5 ml methanol, 220 ml abs alcohol. Dilute acids hydrolyze melibiose to D-glucose and i> -galactose Also split by emulsin and by bottom yeast. Reduces Fehling s soln. 3.5 g melibiose dihydrate are about as sweet as 1.0 g sucrose.
