Biological Activity
Lactitol monohydrate is a synthetic disaccharide sugar alcohol that acts as a prebiotic substrate and osmotic agent. It resists enzymatic degradation in the upper gastrointestinal tract and undergoes selective fermentation by colonic microflora. This metabolic processing stimulates the growth of beneficial bacteria, including Bifidobacterium species, while enhancing short-chain fatty acid production and lowering intestinal pH to promote gut health and intestinal motility.

Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
- Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
- Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
- For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
- Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
