Application

D-(+)-Raffinose pentahydrate has been used as a fermentable sugar reference during in vitro colonic fermentation.[1][2] It has also been used as a constituent of synthetic complete minus uracil media (Sc-ura).[3]

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.[4] 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.[5]
Raffinose is a trisaccharide composed of galactose, fructose, and glucose. Raffinose is hydrolysed to D-galactose and sucrose by D-galactosidase.
