Application

D-(+)-Raffinose pentahydrate has been used as a fermentable sugar reference during in vitro colonic fermentation. It has also been used as a constituent of synthetic complete minus uracil media (Sc-ura).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Raffinose is a trisaccharide belonging to a family of oligosaccharides. It is extracted from various plants including beet sugar molasses, cottonseed meal and seed of food legumes. Raffinose improves cell proliferation and immune response. In addition, it also exhibits anti-oxidant and healing property. Raffinose is used as an additive in medicine, food and cosmetics.
Raffinose is a trisaccharide composed of galactose, fructose, and glucose. Raffinose is hydrolysed to D-galactose and sucrose by D-galactosidase.
