Anhydrous Lactose is a naturally occurring simple carbohydrate, or sugar, found only in the milk of mammals. For this reason, it is also commonly referred to as "milk sugar." All commercial lactose is obtained from the milk of cows as a by-product of the dairy industry. Chemically, lactose is the disaccharide of the simple sugars D-galactose and D-glucose (Figure 1). In other words, the lactose molecule comprises one molecule of D-galactose chemically linked to one molecule of D-glucose. Lactose exists in two isomeric forms, known as alpha and beta (designated a-lactose and b-lactose).
Mainly used for: as the powdery food pigment adsorption dispersant, reduce the pigment concentration, easy to use and reduce discoloration during storage. Advantage of the characteristics of easy compression forming and low water imbibition, a tablet excipients, etc. Use lactose caramelization low temperature (163 ºC. The hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose 154.5 ºC, lactose is only 129.5 ºC), the characteristics of for some special baked goods, can be obtained under low baking temperature deep yellow to caramel color. Other have prevent crystallization, to reduce the sweetness, prevent caking and enhance aroma, and so on. Used for baby food, sweets and margarine, etc

1. As an absorbent dispersant for powder food pigment, it can reduce the pigment concentration, facilitate the use and reduce the discoloration during storage.
2. Using the characteristics of easy compression forming and low water absorption, it is used as an excipient.
3. The caramelization temperature of lactose was low (sucrose 163ºC).Glucose 154.5ºC, lactose only 129.5ºC), for some special baked foods, at lower baking temperatures to obtain a deeper yellow to caramel color.
4. Other has prevents the crystallization, reduces the sweetness,
Lactose widely used in making baby food, candy, margarine, etc., it can also be used as medium, chromatogram absorbent and excipient, etc
Lactose is commonly used in baby food. It is also widely used in beverages, western sausages, sauces, instant foods, spice blends and meat products in the food industry to supplement low sweetness, enhance aroma, prolong sales period and increase product value.
Lactose other derivatives, such as heteroemulsified sugars, can also be made for the processing of different foods and are often used as tablets.
Packaging: 25kg/bag or according to client requestDelivery Time: Within 14~21 days after confirm order. Some of the products can be supplied within 7 days on the strength of EDC warehouse.
