I-D-Galactose isetyenziswa ngokubanzi kumashishini amayeza, ukutya kunye ne-cosmetic.Kwishishini loxubo-mayeza, lidla ngokusetyenziswa njenge-excipient kwimixube eyahlukeneyo yamachiza nanjengesithako kumajelo eendaba enkcubeko yeeseli.Iyaziwa ngokukwazi ukomeleza uzinzo kunye nokuphucula ukunyibilika kwezithako ezisebenzayo zamayeza.Ukongeza, i-D-galactose isetyenziswa kwiilebhu zophando ukufunda ukukhula kweeseli, imetabolism, kunye neenkqubo ze-glycosylation.
Kwishishini lokutya, i-D-galactose ingasetyenziswa njenge-sweetener yendalo kunye ne-flavour enhancer.Isetyenziselwa ukuveliswa kwe-confectionery, iziselo kunye neemveliso zobisi.Ubumnandi bayo obukhethekileyo, obudityaniswe nomxholo wekhalori ephantsi, buyenza ibe yindawo efanelekileyo kwabo bafuna enye indlela yeswekile.Ukongeza, i-D-galactose ifunyenwe ineempawu ze-prebiotic ezikhuthaza ukukhula kweebhaktheriya eziluncedo zamathumbu kunye nokuxhasa impilo yokugaya.
