Product information

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.
It has a low sweetening power (0.16 compared to 1 for sacharose). Standard Edible Lactose has a purity grade of 99%. The color goes from white to yellowish-white.
