Lactose and glucose are not the same.
Glucose is a mono-saccharide (composed of one sugar molecule) while lactose is a di-saccharide (2 sugar molecules; one of which is a glucose molecule).

∙ 10y agoyou can make lactose with alpha or beta galactose, and alpha or beta glucose. There has been no reference to depict which form is predominant in milk.
otherwise it's the beta galactose and alpha glucose which join to form beta-1,4 glycosidic bond in lactose

∙ 9y agoNo, lactose is a sugar C12H22O11 ('glucosyl-galactosyl'-disaccharide) while lactic acid is a (weak) hydroxy-acid CH3-CH(OH)-COOH

Is lactic acid bacteria a bacteria?
Yes lactic acid fermenting bacteria is also a bacteria. It is rich in milk, yogurt. It ferments the lactose in the milk to lactic acid.
What is converted into lactic acid?
Basically, carbohydrates such as glucose, sucrose etc. It is actually pyruvate which gets converted into lactic acid.
What is difference between lactic acid and lactose?
If we are talking about distinguishing between the two solutions then, Carry out a Benedict's test on both solutions; Results: Lactose solution would give a brick-red/brown precipitate (positive test) Sucrose solution would give negative test result while sucrose is a non-reducing sugar which does not react with Benedict's reagent.
Is potassium lactate a form of lactose?
No 1. Potassium lactate is a salt of the lactic acid. 2. Lactose is a type of sugar found in milk.
What acid is sour milk?
Yes, sour milk is an acid. The lactic acid makes the milk acidic, milk is said to be sour when it is at a pH level of 4.3-4.5 (acidic) Yes, sour milk is an acid. The lactic acid makes the milk acidic, milk is said to be sour when it is at a pH level of 4.3-4.5 (acidic)
Is lactose in lactic acid?
No. Lactic acid is a different molecule than lactose. Molecular Formulas: Lactic Acid- C3H6O3 Lactose- C12H22O11 In addition, lactose is a sugar molecular while, as you may guess, lactic acid is an acid. When raw milk turns sour or becomes curdled, lactic acid bacteria are fermenting lactose into lactic acid.
A type of bacteria that digest the milk sugar lactose?
The answer is Lactic acid
Does lactose free milk contain lactic acid or when it ferments is lactic acid produced?
As far as I know lactose free milk does not contain lactic acid. They put in lactase to 'destroy' the lactose, which makes it lactose free! So no, and it probably won't be produced either. I hope this helps!
Where can you find Lactic acid?
It's in milk and other things with lactose.
What can't you eat with lactose intolerance?
lactic acid.
Is lactic acid lactose free?
Yes, they are completely different things.
Is lactic acid bacteria a bacteria?
Yes lactic acid fermenting bacteria is also a bacteria. It is rich in milk, yogurt. It ferments the lactose in the milk to lactic acid.
Can Lactic Acid in food affect someone who is Lactose intolerant?
I think the lactic acid will bother you but not as bad as drinking a straight glass of milk.
What is converted into lactic acid?
Basically, carbohydrates such as glucose, sucrose etc. It is actually pyruvate which gets converted into lactic acid.
What has more acid than yogurt?
I'm not sure but, Lemon,Vinegar and lactic acid is in cheese..
What does lactobacteria break down?
They break down lactose and other sugars to lactic acid
What is the change process of turning milk to yogurt?
Bacteria convert lactose into lactic acid.
