General description

Melibiose is a carbon substrate.

Application

Melibiose has been used in a study to improve the preparation of benzoylated ethyl 1-thioglycosides. It has also been used in a study to investigate the effect of water plasticization on the molecular mobility and crystallization tendency of amorphous disaccharides.

Spray-dried protein formulations commonly require stabilising excipients to prevent protein degradation during processing and storage, and trehalose has been commonly used. The purpose of this work was to evaluate melibiose in spray-dried protein formulations in comparison to trehalose. The protein-activity-preserving
