D-Lactose monohydrate is employed in the field of microbiology where it serves as a carbon source in culture media to promote bacterial growth, particularly for organisms that possess the enzyme β-galactosidase which can hydrolyze lactose. In enzymology research, D-Lactose monohydrate is used as a substrate to study the kinetics and specificity of β-galactosidase and to screen for the presence of this enzyme in various microorganisms. Additionally, it is involved in studies concerning lactose metabolism and lactase deficiency. In the food industry, research with D-Lactose monohydrate is critical for understanding the crystallization process and the properties of lactose in dairy products. Moreover, this compound is utilized in biotechnology as a starting material for the synthesis of lactose-derived oligosaccharides, which are of interest due to their prebiotic effects.
