Galactose

What do we mean by galactose?

A monosaccharide, C6H12O6, commonly occurring in lactose and in certain pectins, gums, and mucilages. noun

A crystalline dextrorotatory sugar, C6H12O6, produced by the action of dilute acids on milk-sugar. noun

A white, crystalline sugar, C6H12O6, isomeric with dextrose, obtained by the decomposition of milk sugar, and also from certain gums. When oxidized it forms mucic acid. Called also lactose (though it is not lactose proper). noun

A monosaccharide found, along with lactose, in dairy products, and is synthesized by the body where it is found associated with glycolipids and glycoproteins. noun

A simple sugar found in lactose noun

A monosaccharide found, along with lactose, in dairy products, and is synthesized by the body where it is found associated with glycolipids and glycoproteins.
