1. It serves as a sweetener, humectant and food processing aid. Its crystallization behavior and hydration properties play a vital role in food processing, which can optimize production processes and improve the stability, texture and mouthfeel of food preparations.

2. It can be used as an excipient in pharmaceutical formulations to facilitate drug shaping and enhance the physical properties and stability of pharmaceuticals. It is also applied to research the in-vivo metabolic processes and action mechanisms of saccharides, providing theoretical support for pharmaceutical research and development.

3. Melibiose is applicable to selective culture and enrichment culture of specific microorganisms as well as biochemical assays. It acts as a substrate for investigating the enzymatic mechanisms and characteristics of relevant enzymes.
