Often used by the food and drug industry as an ingredient or additive. Used in confectionery, sweets, and baked goods for adding sweetness and enhancing flavor, texture, color and stability. It increases the volume of loaves and biscuits. Used as an anti-freezing agent in the ice cream.
Lactose provides the signature milk-like sweetness and creamy mouthfeel and full body to your beer (use 4 oz per gallon of beer).
