The product can be used as tablets and capsules of the filler or diluent, and sometimes also used for freeze-dried products and baby food formulations. Lactose is also used in powder inhalation of diluent.
Application
1.A fermented milk is essential to provide the carbon source. Under the action of lactic acid bacteria, lactose, galactose and glucose is decomposed into.
2. Provide nutrition to provide energy for mankind. Galactose has important influence on the development of the mammalian nervous. Lactose is conducive to the absorption of calcium. Lack of lactase causes lactose intolerance.
3 dairy organizations have an important impact on the state. Milk production, the impact on the crystallization of lactose milk taste. Solubility milk.
4 has an important influence on the color of dairy flavor. Browning reaction. After fermentation flavor formation.
