Dairy Material Lactose Powder

Lactose, like other sugars, is the body's source of energy. A quarter of the total calories in milk come from lactose.

In addition to supplying energy to the human body, lactose also has different physiological significance from other sugars. Lactose is not digested and absorbed in the human stomach and can go straight to the intestine. In the human gut, lactose is easily broken down by lactase into glucose and galactose for absorption. Galactose is a component of the glycolipids that make up the brain and nervous tissue. It is very important for the intellectual development of infants. It can promote the production of galactocerebroside and mucopolysaccharide. Lactose can promote the formation of some lactic acid bacteria in the human intestine, inhibit the growth of spoilage bacteria, and contribute to the peristalsis of the intestine. Because the production of lactic acid is conducive to the absorption of calcium and other substances, can prevent the occurrence of rickets, baby food is often fortified with lactose.
