Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lactase (EC 3.2.1.108) and what does it do?
Lactase (β-galactosidase) hydrolyzes lactose into glucose and galactose, enabling lactose-free dairy and lactose-reduced food formulations.
What are the recommended pH and temperature ranges for Lactase?
Effective operation is achieved at pH 4.5–7.0 and 35°C–55°C.
How should I interpret the activity value (5,000–15,000 ALU/g)?
Activity is measured in Acid Lactase Units per gram; higher values generally indicate faster lactose conversion at equivalent dosing. Confirm in process trials.
How does Lactase help with ice cream texture?
By reducing lactose levels, Lactase helps avoid crystallization during freezing, maintaining smooth, uniform texture.
What are the storage and shelf-life requirements?
Store sealed powder in a cool, dry environment. Shelf life is 24 months under these conditions.
