3-Deoxy-galactosone is a 1,2-dicarbonyl compound originating from the degradation of galactose. 3-Deoxy-galactosone is formed in food during Maillard and caramelization reactions^[1].

3-Deoxy-galactosone is also detected in galactose-free food items such as apple juice and beer^[1].
In solutions containing glucose, 3-Deoxy-galactosone is formed from 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG) via the intermediate 3,4-dideoxyglucosone-3-ene (3,4-DGE)^[2].
