Lactose is a type of sugar which is found in milk and which is sometimes added to food. a type of sugar found in milk, sometimes used as a food for babies and sick people (lac ( LACTIC) + -ose). Slightly sweet sugar (disaccharide) composed of two monosaccharides, glucose and galactose, linked together. Lactose-intolerant adults, and more rarely infants, cannot digest lactose because they lack the enzyme (lactase) that splits it into simpler sugars and suffer diarrhea and bloating when they eat foods containing it. Lactose, which makes up 2-8% of the milk of mammals, is the only common sugar of animal origin. Commercial lactose is obtained from whey, a liquid by-product of cheese. It is used in foods, in pharmaceuticals, and in nutrient broths used to produce penicillin, yeast, and riboflavin, and other products
Also called "milk sugar," lactose is that sugar that occurs naturally in milk It is less sweet than any of the other sugars Used in baby formulas and candies
the sugar produced by animals and human being found in milk Lactose is broken down in our digestive system by the help of an enzyme protein called lactase
It has a slightly sweet taste, is dextrorotary, and is much less soluble in water than either cane sugar or glucose
a sugar comprising one glucose molecule linked to a galactose molecule; occurs only in milk; "cow's milk contains about 4 7% lactose"
Lactose intolerance (or hypolactasia) is the term used to describe a decline in the level of lactase, an enzyme needed for proper metabolization of lactose (a sugar that is a constituent of milk and other dairy products), in human beings. Although an estimated 70% of adult humans are considered lactose intolerant, it is uncommon in healthy northern westerners and a few others groups
(Tıp, İlaç) Lactose intolerance, also called lactase deficiency, is the inability to digest and metabolize lactose, a sugar found in milk. It is caused by a lack of the enzyme lactase in the digestive system, required to break down lactose. It results in symptoms including abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence, diarrhea, nausea, and acid reflux
congenital disorder consisting of an inability to digest milk and milk products; absence or deficiency of lactase results in an inability to hydrolyze lactose
