An aldonic acid; comprised of galactose and gluconic acid; can be produced by the lactose oxidation pathway in Pseudomonas; increases the water solubility of clarithromycin; has been used as a low pH buffer for the entrapment of SYK kinase inhibitors in liposomal nanoparticles; has antioxidant, humectant, and metal-chelating properties; topical administration lowers the pH of the stratum corneum in mice at 10% v/v; free acid and δ-lactone forms of lactobionic acid are interconvertible, with acidic pH conditions favoring formation of the δ-lactone form; provided as a mixture of the free acid and lactone
