Usage and Safety

Application
Dulcitol (Galactitol), a sugar alcohol derived through reduction of galactose, is important in studies related to cataract formation, hepatosplenomegaly and mental retardation. It is used as a substrate to identify, differentiate and characterize galactitol dehydrogenase(s). Galactitol may be used as a reference compound in analytical procedures developed to analyze sugar alcohols in plants and food.
These Secondary Standards are qualified as Certified Reference Materials. These are suitable for use in several analytical applications including but not limited to pharma release testing, pharma method development for qualitative and quantitative analyses, food and beverage quality control testing, and other calibration requirements.
Deoxygalactonojirimycin hydrochloride has been used as an α-galactosidase A inhibitor to assess the enzymatic activity of α-galactosidase A. It has also been used as an α-galactosidase A inhibitor to study its effects on the mRNA levels in human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells and hippocampal neurons.
