Lactose
What is Lactose
Lactose is a naturally occurring disaccharide sugar found primarily in milk and dairy products, consisting of two simpler sugars: glucose and galactose, with the molecular formula C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁. It makes up around 2–8% of milk by mass and is extracted from whey. The body uses the enzyme lactase to break down lactose into glucose and galactose, serving as an important energy source, especially for infants. Lactose is 30% as sweet as sugar and plays a significant role in nutrition and the dairy industry.
