Why does lactose-free milk turn up as positive on a glucose strip?
lactose and glucose are not the same! milk contains sugar, and sugar (starch-->glucose) is glucose, so if the milk is lactose free, it still contains glucose and proteins...
Is lactose free milk sugar free?
No. The lactose is broken down into it's components, glucose and galactose.
Does milk have glucose and why?
No the untreated milk does not contain glucose. When you put in Lactoid in it than the milk will contain glucose.
Does coke have lactose in it?
Cola is lactose free it has no lactose it has glucose in it !
Does milk fat contain lactose?
Lactose, or milk sugar, is a natural component of milk. In regular milk, the lactose portion is 5%. In butter, the lactose portion is about 0.1%. Therefore, butter cannot be considered lactose-free.
Why is milk sweet in taste?
That's because the lactose is broken down into two other easily digested sugars which are sweeter: breaks into galactose and glucose... this occurs through hydrolysis in the milk prior to drinking it ( because lactase is found in the milk, which contains lactose), thus creating a sweeter milk).
Is lactose a simple carbohydrate?
No: lactose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and galactose. It is found exclusively in milk and is also known as "milk sugar".

What is the natural sugar found in milk?
the name for milk sugar is lactose. The ose ending indicates that it is a sugar, like fructose (fruit sugar) or glucose (blood sugar).
What is the principle and chemical reaction for the lactose extraction from milk?
The principle behind lactose extraction from milk is enzymatic hydrolysis. The enzyme lactase is added to milk, which breaks down lactose into its constituent sugars, glucose and galactose. The chemical reaction can be represented as: Lactose + Water → Glucose + Galactose
What does heating cause to lactose in milk to do?
Lactose is a sugar like glucose or fructose and so cannot be denatured as can enzymes, which are proteins. However, if you heat lactose long enough it will caramelize (oxidize), like the sugar in sweetened condensed milk does when super heated.Heating lactose-free milk does denature the enzyme it contains to digest lactose, lactase, and inhibit it from working further.
Is glucose one kind of sugar in milk?
The main sugar in milk is a disaccharide, Lactose, which is made up of Glucose and Galactose.
