The Galactomannon test kit is suitable for the measurement and analysis of Galactomannan in food and plant products.

UV-method for the determination of Galactomannan in legume
seeds, foodstuffs and plant products

Principle:
(β-mannanase)
(1) Galactomannan + H₂O → galactomanno-oligomers

(β-mannanase + α-galactosidase)
(2) Galactomanno-oligomers + H₂O → D-galactose +
manno-oligomers

(β-galactose dehydrogenase)
(3) D-Galactose + NAD⁺ → D-galactonic acid + NADH + H⁺
