Features

Lactose (milk sugar) is a carbohydrate derived from milk. It is being manufactured from sweet whey, by ultra-filtration, evaporation, crystallization and milling. It is applied as thickener, flavor and texture additive. Lactose is less sweet than regular sugar and has a flavor enhancing effect. 

Different grain sizes may be obtained through an adapted crushing. Grain sizes are classified by mesh.

The most common mesh sizes are:

  • 200 mesh (fine grain size)
  • 100 mesh (coarse grain size)
