| Application examples: | Analysis of hydrolysates of oligo- and polysaccharides (e.g. arabinan, arabinoxylan, galactan, arabinogalactan), milk, dairy products, foods containing milk (e.g. dietetic foods, bakery products, baby food, chocolate, sweets and ice-cream), food additives (e.g. sweeteners), cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and other materials (e.g. biological cultures, samples, etc.). | 
| Method recognition: | Novel method | 
The L-Arabinose/D-Galactose test kit is a simple, reliable and accurate UV method for the measurement and analysis of L-arabinose and/or D-galactose in various materials including foods, feeds, beverages and plant products.
Note for Content: The number of manual tests per kit can be doubled if all volumes are halved. This can be readily accommodated using the MegaQuantTM Wave Spectrophotometer (D-MQWAVE).
