Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose in the body. Lactose-free milk is made with lactase, an enzyme that aids in the digestion of lactose. Lactose-free milk substitutes regular milk in any recipe, as it has similar taste, texture, and nutritional profile as regular milk.
Lactose-free milk is created by combining lactase with cow's milk. Raw material for lactose free milk includes minerals, proteins, and sugars, that are separated into fractions using the membrane process, and a low-lactose or lactose-free milk product is made up of the fractions. Continuous fluctuation in the raw material prices of lactose-free milk products leads to negative growth of the market.
