This study presents a comprehensive physicochemical characterization of sodium lactobionate aqueous solutions, focusing on density, viscosity, and refractive index analyses. Sodium lactobionate, a salt derived from lactobionic acid, finds applications in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, making its physical properties of significant interest. The density measurements were conducted across a range of concentrations and temperatures, allowing for the determination of apparent molar volumes and thermal expansion coefficients. Viscosity analysis revealed the solution's dynamic behavior, providing insights into its rheological properties. Additionally, refractive index measurements were performed to understand the optical characteristics of sodium lactobionate solutions. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the behavior of sodium lactobionate in aqueous solutions and offers valuable insights for its various applications.
