Lactose

Lactose is the refined, crystallized milk sugar obtained from sweet whey. Sourced from mozzarella cheese, our lactose delivers a highly consistent, high-quality powder that fulfills a wide range of nutritional and functional needs.

Benefits


  • Being moderately sweet, lactose can be used to reduce overall sweetness while maintaining the same amount of sweetener solids, making it a great tool for product development.
  • Lactose is free-flowing and easily disperses and dissolves, making it an ideal bulking agent and viscosity builder.
  • As a reducing sugar, lactose will enhance color development during high- temperature cooking and baking via the Maillard browning reaction.
  • Inexpensive and functionally versatile, lactose has demonstrated success in an assortment of products and applications.

Applications


  • Confectionery
  • Dry mixes, blends, and seasonings
  • Baked goods
