With a purity of 99%, our lactose is an ideal carbohydrate for use in the manufacture of infant formula, where the composition of the final product is subject to detailed control.

A number of our customers rely on our high quality lactose as a raw material for further processing into lactose derivatives. These include lactitol, the low-calorie, prebiotic sweetener, and lactulose, a non-digestible sugar that can counter chronic constipation.

One of the applications of lactulose is as a digestive aid in infant formula.

Lactose is also an ideal fermentation substrate for the development of bacterial strains used as cultures, for example, in the production of yogurt and cheese.
