Bioactivity | 3-Deoxy-galactosone is a 1,2-dicarbonyl compound originating from the degradation of galactose. 3-Deoxy-galactosone is formed in food during Maillard and caramelization reactions[1]. |
Invitro | 3-Deoxy-galactosone is also detected in galactose-free food items such as apple juice and beer[1]. In solutions containing glucose, 3-Deoxy-galactosone is formed from 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG) via the intermediate 3,4-dideoxyglucosone-3-ene (3,4-DGE)[2]. |
