Lactose Powder

Lactose (milk sugar) is a carbohydrate derived from milk. It is being manufactured from sweet whey, by ultra-filtration, evaporation, crystallization and milling. It is applied as thickener, flavour and texture additive. Lactose is less sweet than regular sugar and has a flavour enhancing effect. 

Different grain sizes may be obtained through an adapted crushing. Grain sizes are classified by mesh.

The most common mesh sizes are:

200 mesh (fine grain size)

100 mesh (coarse grain size)

Edible Lactose can be used in many applications, like: bakery, pastry, chocolate, confectionery, infant food, instant soups, sauces, seasoning, meat products, diet food, milk powder standardisation, beverages etc.
