Why is lactose converted into glucose and galactose during food processing?
Wiki User
∙ 9y ago
Converting lactose into glucose and galactose allows lactose-intolerant people to consume milk products. Glucose and galactose also taste sweeter than lactose so the need for additional sweeteners in flavored milk products is reduced. As glucose and galactose are more soluble, it gives ice-cream a smoother texture. Glucose and galactose can be fermented by bacteria more quickly so the use of these monosaccharides shortens the production time of cottage cheese and yogurt.

What Disaccharide is produced by combining glucose and galactose?
Lactose
What two monosaccharides forms lactose?
Glucose and Galactose.
Is compose of one glucose plus one galactose molecule?
Lactose is a disaccharide composed of one glucose molecule bonded to a galactose molecule.
What two molecules are used to make glucose?
Sucrose and Lactose. Sucrose is made from glucose and fructose, and Lactose is made from glucose and galactose. Hope this helps! (:
Is lactose free milk sugar free?
No. The lactose is broken down into it's components, glucose and galactose.
What monosaccharides make up lactose?
Glucose and Galactose.
What does galactose galactose and glucose make?
The monosaccharides galactose and glucose, when bonded together through a condensation reaction, form the disaccharide lactose.
What two molecules make lactose?
Glucose and Galactose make up lactose Glucose and fructose make up sucrose Glucose and glucose make maltose
Hydrolysis of lactose?
Glucose, galactose
What is the combination of glucose and galactose?
Lactose
What Disaccharide is produced by combining glucose and galactose?
Lactose
The combination of glucose and galactose forms?
lactose
What is lactose made of?
beta-glucose and Galactose
How is glucose an important factor in lactose synthesis?
Lactose is a disaccharide, made up of a bonded glucose and galactose.
What are the products of hydrolysis of maltose?
When a molecule of lactose is hydrolyzed the monomers that had linked together to form lactose will be pulled away from each other through the addition of lactose. Lactose is made from GLUCOSE AND GALACTOSE, henceforth these two monomers will emerge through the hydrolysis of lactose. Hope this helps...
What two monosaccharides make up milk sugar?
The 2 mono saccharides that make up lactose are glucose and galactose. Glucose is basically sugar in its most basic form. It is made by plants through photosynthesis.
What is lactose in the following equation galactose glucose-- lactose water?
Condensation
