Lactase powder / liquid conc. is a concentrated preparation of lactase enzyme derived from Aspergillus oryzae. It hydrolyses lactose into galactose and glucose.
Lactase have diverse industrial applications:
Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical: In pharmaceutical industries, lactase powder (an enzyme that breaks down lactose) is primarily used in the production of lactose-free or reduced-lactose products, rather than directly as an ingredient in most formulations. It is also utilized in diagnostic testing for lactose intolerance.
Food Processing: Lactase powder is widely used in the food industry, primarily to produce lactose-free dairy products for individuals with lactose intolerance. It's an enzyme that breaks down lactose, the sugar found in milk, into glucose and galactose, making the product digestible for those who are lactose intolerant. Beyond lactose-free products, lactase is also used to enhance the texture and taste of frozen yogurt and other dairy products.
