Lactose-free milk
Share
German: Laktosefreie Milch Also known as: Laktosefrei, Milch ohne Laktose, Lactosefreie Milch
Milk whose milk sugar has been enzymatically split or removed and which in Germany must contain less than 0.1 g lactose per 100 g.
To make lactose-free milk, the enzyme lactase is added, which splits milk sugar into glucose and galactose. Often part of the lactose is removed beforehand by filtration. Because the breakdown products taste sweeter, lactose-free milk seems slightly sweet although no sugar is added.
In Germany, a dairy product may only be called lactose-free if its lactose content is below 0.1 g per 100 g, which must also be stated. The products are aimed at people with lactose intolerance. For everyone else they offer no nutritional advantage.
