About C12H24O12 (Lactose monohydrate)
Lactose monohydrate is a carbohydrate and a derivative of lactose, where one molecule of lactose is chemically bound to a molecule of water. This compound is extensively utilized in the pharmaceutical and food industries as an excipient and a stabilizer for the formulation of tablets and capsules, as well as a filler in the manufacture of foods.
