Lactose powder is a disaccharide that occurs naturally in mammalian milk. Lactose CAS 63-42-3 is commonly used in baby food, and also widely used in beverages in the food industry. The average content of Lactose Raw Materials in human milk and cow milk is 7.0% and 4.8%, respectively. Lactose raw materials are an important nutrient source for human body and play an important physiological role.

Functions of Lactose powder

1. Provide energy: Lactose is one of the main sources of energy for infants and young children, especially for breastfed infants. In the small intestine, lactose is broken down by lactase into glucose and galactose. Both monosaccharides can be absorbed by the intestines and converted into energy for various physiological activities of the body. For adults, although lactose is also a source of energy, it is not the main source of energy.

2. Promote mineral absorption: Lactose can promote the absorption of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and zinc, which is essential for the growth and health of bones. Calcium absorption is very important for the health of bones and teeth, muscle function, and nerve transmission. Magnesium participates in the activity of multiple enzymes and plays an important role in muscle and nerve function, blood sugar control, and blood pressure regulation. Zinc participates in immune function, protein synthesis, cell growth and differentiation, etc.

It should be noted that: Lactose intolerance.

Some people cannot effectively decompose lactose due to insufficient secretion or reduced activity of lactase in their bodies, resulting in undecomposed lactose entering the large intestine and being fermented by bacteria to produce gas and other substances, causing abdominal distension, diarrhea, abdominal pain and other discomfort symptoms. This is lactose intolerance.

Lactose intolerance is not an allergy, but a digestive problem.

People with lactose intolerance can relieve symptoms by the following methods:

Reduce lactose intake.

Eat low-lactose or lactose-free dairy products.

Take lactase supplements before eating foods containing lactose.

Eat dairy products in small amounts and multiple times.

Eat fermented dairy products such as yogurt.

Production methodprocess of Lactose powder

Lactose CAS 63-42-3 is made by heating the whey in milk (about 5% lactose) or adding lime milk, removing the protein, concentrating, cooling, crystallizing, and drying.
