Galactose is a critical monosaccharide hexose sugar essential for the synthesis of glycolipids and glycoproteins in biological systems. We offer high-purity D-Galactose in crystalline form, optimized for superior water solubility and industrial process stability.
Known commercially as "brain sugar," this naturally occurring carbohydrate serves as a vital carbon source for microbial fermentation and cell culture. It is a key precursor for Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), driving innovation in functional nutrition and prebiotic development.
Our Pharma Grade Galactose adheres to global purity standards, making it an ideal pharmaceutical excipient and diagnostic reagent. It provides a specialized bio-active energy source particularly suited for advanced infant formulas and clinical nutrition.
SoleChem, an ISO 9001:2015 certified chemical supplier based in Türkiye, delivers Galactose (CAS 59-23-4) to customers in more than 40 countries.

Galactose
Applications
- Cell Culture Media Optimization: Acts as a specialized carbon source to improve the glycosylation profiles and yields of recombinant proteins in bioprocessing.
- Pharmaceutical Formulation: Utilized as a high-purity excipient and carrier in drug delivery systems and as a clinical reagent for metabolic diagnostic testing.
- Functional Food Production: Serves as the primary building block for prebiotic synthesis, supporting the development of healthy gut microbiota in specialized dietary products.
Safety & Risks
Galactose is not classified as hazardous; however, avoid generating combustible dust concentrations. Operators should wear safety goggles, protective gloves, and a dust mask (N95) during bulk handling to ensure respiratory safety.
