LACTOSE DOMESTIC PRODUCT

General Information
A molecule of chemical formula C12H22O11 is lactose, which is a natural dissaccharide containing galactose and a molecule glucose; it is chemically, physically and microbiologically stable and shows a high degree of compliance with other ingredients. Because of the potential for free aldehyde group formation of lactose, which is a reducing sugar? and? There are two forms.

The basic principle of lactose production is to evaporate water from whey to increase the lactose concentration. Condensed whey (60% of total solids at 60 ° C) is then gradually cooled, allowing lactation to be crystallized and allowed to produce.

Products such as lactobionic acid, lactose hydrolysates are commercially spray-dried or obtained from the crystalline lactose structure.
