Nutritionally speaking, lactose is a disaccharide formed by the union of glucose (the main sugar of the human body) and galactose (a monosaccharide essential for the formation of nervous structures in the child).
Those who do not have sufficient quantities of β-lactase, which represent the enzymes responsible for the digestion of this sugar, become intolerant to lactose (unlike human milk, cow's milk does not contain alpha but beta-lactose).
L "intolerance to lactose manifests itself with digestive disorders, such as bloating, diarrhea and abdominal cramps, which appear following the" ingestion of the food.
For further information: Delactosed Milk it is obtained by enzymatically hydrolyzing lactose; through a technological treatment with free enzyme or immobilized enzyme, the lactose is "broken down" into the two monosaccharides that constitute it.
Delactosed milk thus becomes more digestible and sweet, since lactose has a lower sweetening power than the single monosaccharides that make it up.
For further information: Lactose intolerance, it must in any case be kept in the fridge to counter the Maillard reaction (a complex set of reactions that alter the organoleptic characteristics of the food).
