High Quality Food Grade 10,000U/G Lactase Enzyme Powder
Products Description
It is a B-galactosidase produced by the controlled fermentation of a Non-GMO strain of Aspergillus oryzae.
The lactose hydrolyzes the B-1,4-glycosidic bonds in lactose; releasing an equal molar mixture of glucose and galactose. The food grade powder contains no chemical preservatives.
Enzymatic Properties
The pH optimum is 4.0 to 5.0 with a stability range of 4.0 to 7.5. The optimum temperature is 55ºC with a stability range from 30ºC to 55ºC.
Activity
One FCC Lactase Unit (ALU) is defined as the quality of enzyme that will liberate one micromole of o-nitrophenol per minute at 37º C and a pH of 4.5. It is based on a 15 minute hydrolysis of an o-nitrophenol-beta-D-galactopyranoside substrate.
The acceptance criteria for all enzyme assays is: NLT 85.0% and NMT 115.0% of the declared units of enzyme activity.
Application
Lactase is mainly used in the food industry to convert low-sweetness and low-solubility lactose into sweeter, more soluble monosaccharides (glucose and galactose); it can be used in ice cream, concentrated milk, and evaporated milk. The possibility of lactose crystallization is reduced, and sweetness is increased at the same time.
