Edible Lactose is manufactured from fresh sweet whey by crystallization, separation, washing, concentration, drying and milling to a crystalline free flowing powder. Edible lactose has a better crystallization than dextrose or sucrose. And when it is mixed with other sugars it also modifies their crystallization properties. Edible Lactose is only slightly soluble in water.
