Chemical Information
NameLactose
DescriptionOccurs in mammalian milk (human 6-7%, cow 4-5%), fruits of sapodilla Achras sapota, and a few other plants. Nutrient. obtained industrially from whey Lactose is a disaccharide sugar that is found most notably in milk and is formed from galactose and glucose. Lactose makes up around 2-8% of milk (by weight), although the amount varies among species and individuals. It is extracted from sweet or sour whey. [Wikipedia]. Lactose in the urine is a biomarker for the consumption of milk. Lactose is found in many foods, some of which are tortilla, swamp cabbage, scrapple, and spearmint.
