Lactose
is the primary source of energy and the sugar molecule which is
present in the milk. Lactose is made up of glucose and galactose.
Lactose free food products are those food products which are
specially made without lactose. In Lactose free food products the
content of lactose is reduced or removed. This is achieved by
breaking the lactose molecule present in the food into glucose and
galactose. Lactose-free foods are specially prepared for those
individuals who are intolerant towards lactose. People those who are
intolerant towards lactose do not have sufficient amount of lactase,
the enzyme which breaks lactose into glucose and galactose. So the
main purpose behind the production of lactose free food products is
to provide all the nutritional benefits of the product without having
any adverse reactions. Lactose free food products are easy to digest
and the demand for lactose-free food products is accelerating due to
the increased incidences of food allergies and intolerances.
