Food and Beverage Applications
Lactose is a versatile ingredient for commercial food development. Its moderate sweetness can help formulators manage overall sweetness while maintaining sweetener solids, while its ability to disperse and dissolve makes it useful as a bulking agent and viscosity builder. As a reducing sugar, lactose can also support color development during high-temperature cooking and baking through the Maillard browning reaction.
Leprino Nutrition Lactose can be used in applications including confectionery, baked goods, dry mixes, frozen desserts, soups, and sauces.
