Lactose

Lactose is a natural milk sugar that can be extracted from milk or whey by a filtration process that separates whey protein from lactose. The lactose is then crystalized and dried to obtain lactose powder composed of a minimum 99.2% lactose and less than 0.3% minerals and protein. Its natural delicate taste and low calories make lactose one of the greatest dairy ingredients for pharmaceutical, nutritional, food or feed applications.

LACTALIS Ingredients is able to provide lactose with a purity rate up to 99,6%, with very low protein and minerals content (below 0,1%), Our lengthy experience with dairy ingredients has allowed us to create lactose ideal for many markets, from food applications to high value nutritional markets. Lactose is available either in white or standard colour.
