Lactase enzyme milk

How to make cow’s milk lactose-free?

Transforming regular cow’s milk into a lactose-free option is simpler than you might think. The process involves introducing the lactase enzyme to the milk and breaking down lactose into easily digestible sugars, glucose, and galactose. This method makes the milk suitable for individuals with lactose intolerance, allowing them to enjoy its creamy taste and nutritional benefits without discomfort. An example of a product that can make this ‘lactase milk’ is lactase drops.

Adding lactase to milk is a straightforward way to achieve this. Lactase drops are readily available and can be mixed directly into milk. After adding the recommended amount of drops, let the milk sit in the refrigerator for about 24 hours. During this time, the enzyme works to break down most of the lactose, resulting in a lactose-free or low-lactose product.

Lactose-free cow’s milk retains all its essential nutrients, such as calcium, vitamin D, and protein, while eliminating the common digestive issues caused by lactose. By making cow’s milk lactose-free at home, you can enjoy the flexibility of creating dairy products like cheese, cake, and cream that suit your dietary needs.

With this simple method, you can easily integrate lactose-free cow’s milk into your diet. It’s an excellent solution for anyone looking to manage lactose intolerance without giving up on the wholesome goodness of milk. Rediscover the joy of dairy, one enzyme drop at a time!
