Can milk be non-lactose?
Milk naturally contains the sugar lactose. Lactose-free milk is made by 'pre-digesting' the lactose in the milk. This is done by adding the enzyme lactase to the milk. The enzyme breaks down the lactose and people who can't digest lactose properly (lactose intolerance) can drink the milk without side-effects.
Milk protein-digesting enzymes found in children?
Unless they're lactose intolerant, yes, lactase is found in children.
What happens when milk is treated with lactase?
Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose in milk. This allows lactose intolerant individuals to drink the lactose free (or reduced lactose) milk.
A milk protein-digesting enzyme found in children?
It's not rennin... christ. Lactase is needed to digest the Lactose, Protease is needed to digest the casein and whey protein and Lipase is needed to digest the fats (lipids) in the milk.
Whats the function of the lactase substrate?
Lactase is the bodily enzyme that breaks down Lactose, a sugar found in milk.
What Enzyme is Present in Lactaid?
The enzyme that breaks down lactose (milk sugar) is called lactase, and a deficiency can prevent the body from digesting lactose.The Lactaid supplements provide lactase. However the Lactaid brand dairy foods have already been processed to break down the lactose sugar, and do not provide the enzyme.
Is lactase a protein?
Yes; Lactase is an enzyme (protein) that breaks down the sugar lactose found in milk.
What is another term for lactose intolerance?
lactase deficiency.
What is lactase used for?
Lactase improves the digestion of milk by some people who lack the enzymes, aka lactose intolerance.
How is fat removed from milk?

It cannot be removed from those products. Instead, persons who are "lactose intolerant" must avoid all dairy products and all foods that contain dairy products as ingredients. Soy milk, almond milk, rice milk and coconut milk are all readily available at supermarkets and make excellent substitutes for dairy milk.
What does the lactase enzyme help with the digestion of?
