Yes, lactose is considered hydrophilic. As a disaccharide sugar composed of glucose and galactose, it has multiple hydroxyl (-OH) groups that can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, allowing it to dissolve in water. This property makes lactose soluble and able to interact with the aqueous environment in biological systems.
