Lactobionic acid (C12H22O12) is a disaccharide derived from the oxidation of lactose. Chemically, it consists of a galactose unit linked to a gluconic acid molecule through an ether-like bond. The compound can undergo dehydration to form a lactone. Lactobionic acid is widely used in the chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries due to its chelating, emulsifying, and humectant properties. It is valued as a food ingredient for its excellent solubility, pleasant taste, and health benefits. Furthermore, lactobionic acid and its salts play a crucial role in the development of biocompatible and targeted drug delivery systems.
