What are the functions of lactase?

Efficacy one
Lactase is found in the intestines of plants, fungi, bacteria, and mammals, especially infants, but not only the microbial lactase has industrial application value. The lactase produced from microorganisms is not affected by various factors such as seasons and geographic locations. It has the characteristics of abundant enzyme sources, low production cost, high yield and short cycle. Lactase can catalyze the hydrolysis of lactose in mammalian milk into galactose and glucose for use in the dairy industry.

Effect two
Lactase can convert low-solubility lactose and low-sweetness into sweeter and more soluble monosaccharides (glucose and galactose). It can also reduce the possibility of lactose crystallizing in concentrated milk, ice cream, and evaporated milk. , And increase sweetness at the same time.

Effect three
Lactase can be used in the fermentation and baking industry because it allows lactose, which cannot be used by ordinary yeasts, to be hydrolyzed into glucose. If lactase and lysozyme are added to milk, it can prevent infants from having normal intestinal deficiencies. Lactose decomposing enzymes cause diarrhea after feeding milk.

Effect four
Reasonable consumption of lactase can improve lactose intolerance. Lactose intolerance is a multiple disease, which mainly occurs in adults with genetic funds, premature babies, and intestinal mucosal damage caused by intestinal surgery. In patients whose lactase activity will temporarily disappear, these patients can use foreign aid to supplement lactase, which can effectively solve lactose intolerance.
