D-(+)-Raffinose Pentahydrate

D-(+)-Raffinose Pentahydrate is a naturally occurring trisaccharide composed of galactose, glucose, and fructose units, supplied as a white, crystalline, water-soluble powder containing five water molecules per formula unit. It is commonly used in biochemical, microbiological, and food science research as a carbohydrate source and substrate for enzymatic and metabolic studies.

In laboratory applications, D-(+)-Raffinose Pentahydrate serves as a carbon source in microbial media, a reagent in enzymatic assays, and a substrate in studies of carbohydrate metabolism, fermentation, and glycosylation. Its high purity and stable pentahydrate form ensure consistent performance and reproducible results in experiments requiring precise sugar supplementation.
