For chemists, researchers, and formulators, a thorough understanding of a chemical compound's properties and specifications is fundamental to its successful application. Lactulose (CAS 4618-18-2), a synthetic disaccharide, is no exception. As a dedicated manufacturer and supplier of fine chemicals, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides detailed information on the chemical profile of Lactulose to support our clients’ diverse needs.

Lactulose, also known by its systematic chemical name 4-O-β-D-Galactopyranosyl-D-fructose, is characterized by its appearance as a white powder. Its molecular formula is C12H22O11, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 342.30 g/mol. Key physical properties that users often seek include its solubility, melting point, and optical activity. Lactulose is freely soluble in water, which is advantageous for many aqueous-based formulations and applications. While the specific melting point can vary with purity and crystalline form, it is generally around 169°C with decomposition.

The functional properties of Lactulose are primarily related to its non-absorbable nature and its fermentation by colonic bacteria. This leads to a decrease in intestinal pH and osmotic effects, making it an effective treatment for constipation and a therapeutic agent for hepatic encephalopathy by reducing ammonia absorption. When sourcing Lactulose, users often look for specifications related to purity, often expressed as a percentage (e.g., ≥98% by HPLC), and the absence of specific impurities. We ensure our Lactulose meets these critical specifications.

As a chemical supplier, we recognize the importance of providing comprehensive data. Our Lactulose is supplied with detailed product specifications, including CAS number, molecular formula, molecular weight, and appearance. For those involved in R&D or complex pharmaceutical development, understanding these specifications is key to successful integration into their projects.
