Lactose

Lactose, a natural sugar found in milk, is formed from two components: glucose and galactose. This compound is an important source of energy for the body, especially for infants. At the same time, lactose has a versatile application, not only in infant nutrition, but also as an important ingredient in the production of animal feed.

Technical aspects

Lactose occurs in the form of a free-flowing, fine powder with a light yellow color. It is a natural milk sugar. The product undergoes a series of washing steps to separate the Lactose from proteins, minerals and residues. It is then crystallized and crushed.

Lactose is a source of calories and sugar. Lactose also has functional properties – it often serves as a texture and flavor enhancer and emulsifier. Lactose is also hygroscopic and is therefore often used in products that need to retain adequate moisture.
