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