The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of galactose, the aldohexose galacto-hexose. The chemical reactions and pathways involving galactose, the aldohexose galacto-hexose. D-galactose is widely distributed in combined form in plants, animals and microorganisms as a constituent of oligo- and polysaccharides; it also occurs in galactolipids and as its glucoside in lactose and melibiose. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of hexose, any monosaccharide with a chain of six carbon atoms in the molecule. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of galactose, via the intermediate UDP-galactose.
