What is Lactose?
Lactose is a type of sugar, specifically a disaccharide, that is naturally found in milk and other dairy products. It is made up of two simpler sugars: glucose and galactose.
What are the uses of Lactose?
Lactose is less sweet than sucrose, but its addition can increase the bulk of food products without significantly altering sweetness. It impacts the texture of products like condensed milk, affecting whether they are grainy or slimy.
Lactose is widely used as a filler or binder in tablets due to its compressibility and low cost. It can also act as a stabilizer for pharmaceutical products and aromas.
