Ethylene oxide is also hydrolyzed to produce ethylene glycol, widely used as an automotive antifreeze as well as higher molecular weight glycols, glycol ethers and polyethylene terephthalate. Ethylene undergoes oxidation by palladium to give acetaldehyde. This conversion remains a major industrial process (10M kg/y).
Galactagogues (substances claimed to increase supply). Galactagogues are foods, herbs or medications that can help to increase breastmilk supply. The use of a galactagogue requires consultation with a lactation consultant and/or medical adviser. At least 95% of mothers are able to produce more than enough milk for their baby(ies), especially when accurate support and information is obtained (1).
Galactose (galacto- + -ose, milk sugar), sometimes abbreviated Gal, is a monosaccharide sugar that is less sweet than glucose and fructose. It is a C-4 epimer of glucose. Galactan is a polymer of the sugar galactose found in hemicellulose.Galactan can be converted to galactose by hydrolysis.he hydrolysis of lactose to glucose and galactose is catalyzed by the enzymes lactase and Î²-galactosidase. The latter is produced by the lac operon in Escherichia coli. In nature, lactose is found primarily in milk and milk products.
