Lactose powder is widely used in the dairy, baking, confectionery and pharmaceutical industries. It is used as a sweetener, carrier of active substances, stabiliser and fermentation component in the production of yoghurts and cheeses. It is also ideal as an ingredient in instant products, nutritional supplements, tablets, capsules and specialised foods. Its high quality, low moisture content and neutral taste make it an extremely versatile raw material.
Feed-grade lactose is widely used in the nutrition of young animals, especially piglets and calves, due to its excellent digestibility and high energy content. It promotes the growth of beneficial intestinal microflora, particularly lactic acid bacteria, supports nutrient absorption, and enhances the taste and palatability of feed. This results in improved feed intake, better gut health, and optimal growth performance.
