In contrast with sucrose, lactose is less sweet and has the appearance of crystallised sugar. If used in any food as a sweetening agent, it does not hinder the sweetness of food products. Therefore the demand for lactose includes a variety of low-volume and special applications in the food industry.
Lactose is used to improve the functionality of shortenings or to improve the taste of food products as an agglomerating or free-flowing agent. It is also used for flavours, enzymes, or pigments as a thinner. Lactose is also one of the main ingredients used to manufacture caramel flavours in confectioneries.
Lactose has significant applications in pharmaceuticals, apart from the food industry, and is used as a carrier for drugs because it is safe, is available in a highly processed form, and helps to manufacture tablets of good quality.

What will happen when yeast is added to a solution of lactose?
Since yeast will only have a reaction when it is able to break down an enzyme nothing will happen when it is added to lactose. Lactose does not contain the proper enzymes or glucose to cause a reaction.
What is the predominant food source of lactose?
The source of lactose is cow's milk.
Does fully matured Parmesan cheese have any lactose remaining?
Just a littleIt does, but not enough for a lactose intolerant person to get worried about. It contains less than a half a gram of lactose. Cheddar amd Swiss cheese, as well as most other natural and well aged cheeses, have trace amounts of lactose. Not even close to enough harm a lactose intolerant person. However, cheese foods and spreads, even those made of parmesan, may have lactose that was added later in the manufacturing portion of the food.
What is a food example of disaccharide?
Sucrose, Lactose, Maltose
Lactose intolerance is related to which of these food groups?
milk
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 kind of food do toyger cats eat?

Why is lactose fermentation common among enteric gram negative bacteria?
Probably because that is where the gram negative bacteria have found a food source. Lactose is not the perfered diet, but it works and they are most likely there because they can tolerate the environment, and survive (on lactose) when their #1 food source is not available.
What are the name of carbohydrates suitable as food for man?

Among the following foods which contains the lowest amount of lactose per serving?

What is the function of lac repressor system in E. coli?
It allows lactose to permeate the cell membrane, and then break bonds with glucose and galactose to use the lactose for food.
What amounts of lactose-containing food should be eaten by lactose intolerant adults?
Lactose intolerant people have lactase deficiency, which is an enzyme, so they should reduce the consumption of lactose containing food products like milk etc., however they can take foods prepared from milk like curd as lactose is converted to lactic acid,paneer cheese etc
