Lactose
Hiroland Lactose is a natural sugar found in milk and dairy products. It is a disaccharide composed of two simpler sugars, glucose and galactose, linked together.
Lactose, characterized by its modest sweetness, serves as a versatile carbohydrate that can effectively substitute for sucrose while excelling in enhancing flavors. Its unique attribute of browning makes it particularly well-suited for applications in baking and confectionery, contributing to the creation of delectable culinary experiences.

Applications
Key characteristics and information about lactose from Hiroland, your global dairy supplier, include:
- Natural Sweetness: It has a mild, natural sweetness, although it is not as sweet as other sugars like sucrose (table sugar) or fructose.
- Digestion: Lactose digestion in the human body relies on an enzyme called lactase, which is produced in the small intestine. Lactase breaks down lactose into its constituent sugars, glucose, and galactose, which can then be absorbed into the bloodstream and used for energy.
- Food Manufacturing: It is used in the food industry as a sweetener, a binder in tablets and pharmaceuticals, and a component of some processed foods.
