About Lactose Chemical

Lactose is a disaccharide sugar derived from galactose and glucose that is found in milk. Lactose makes up around 28% of milk (by weight), although the amount varies among species and individuals, and milk with a reduced amount of lactose also exists. It is extracted from sweet or sour whey. The name comes from lac orlactis, the Latin word for milk, plus the -ose ending used to name sugars. It has a formula of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁.

Lactose is not added directly to many foods, because its solubility is less than other sugars commonly used in food. Infant formula is a notable exception, where the addition of lactose is necessary to match the composition of human milk.

Superior Pharmaceutical Grade Quality

Our lactose, complying with USP standards, is pharmaceutical grade with a minimum purity of 99%. Carefully processed via crystallization from high-quality whey, it ensures superior performance in pharmaceutical formulations and food applications. Its microbial, heavy metal, and moisture specifications align with global pharmacopeial regulations, guaranteeing a safe and effective ingredient for diverse applications.

Versatile Applications Across Industries

Lactoses stable, odorless, and slightly sweet profile allows its use as a diluent in tablets and capsules, sweetener in food and beverages, and as a medium for microbial culture in laboratories. Its excellent solubility and compatibility make it essential in pharmaceutical preparations, as well as a preferred choice for academic and industrial research applications.

Safe Packaging and Storage for Optimal Shelf Life

Packed securely in HDPE bags with an inner liner, lactose maintains its integrity during storage and transport. To ensure maximum shelf life of up to 2 years, it should be stored in a cool, dry place within tightly closed containers. The product is non-hazardous and non-poisonous, supporting easy handling and safe logistics worldwide.

FAQs of Lactose Chemical:

Q: How is lactose (milk sugar) manufactured?

A: Lactose is produced by crystallization from whey, a by-product of milk processing. The process involves isolating whey, concentrating it, and then crystallizing lactose from the solution. The resulting crystals are filtered, washed, and dried to obtain high-purity pharmaceutical-grade lactose.

Q: What are the primary applications and usage benefits of this lactose?

A: This lactose serves as a diluent in tablets and capsules, a sweetener in food and beverages, and a culture media ingredient in laboratories. Its high solubility, neutral taste, and compliance with global quality standards make it highly beneficial for consistent formulation and product stability.

Q: When should lactose be used in pharmaceutical formulations?

A: Lactose is ideal for use as a filler or binder in tablet and capsule manufacturing due to its purity, stability, and compatibility with active pharmaceutical ingredients. It helps ensure uniformity, ease of processing, and the desired release characteristics of medicinal products.

Q: Where is this lactose sourced and exported from?

A: This lactose is manufactured and supplied in India by reputable exporters, importers, and suppliers, with extensive distribution for both domestic and global markets in compliance with applicable regulations.

Q: What packaging options are available and how should lactose be stored?

A: Lactose is available in 25 kg and 50 kg HDPE bags with an inner liner for moisture protection. It should be stored in a cool, dry place in tightly closed containers to maintain quality and prolong shelf life up to two years.

Q: Is this lactose suitable for people with allergies?

A: This product contains lactose derived from milk and is not suitable for individuals with milk or lactose allergies. Allergen information should be carefully reviewed before use.
