5000 ALU β-galactosidase Powder

How does 5000 ALU β-galactosidase powder efficiently hydrolyze lactose and support digestive comfort?
 

 With its high catalytic activity, 5000 ALU β-galactosidase powder effectively breaks down the chemical bonds in lactose molecules, rapidly hydrolyzing them into easily absorbable glucose and galactose. By preventing undigested lactose from fermenting in the intestines, it helps support the management of digestive discomfort, such as occasional bloating, thereby promoting overall digestive comfort.

What is ALU:

ALU (Abbey unit) is the internationally recognized unit for lactase activity, used to measure the enzyme's ability to break down lactose.

1 ALU is defined as the amount of enzyme required to hydrolyze 1 microgram of lactose per minute under standard conditions (pH 4.0–5.5, 55°C–60°C).‌

Lactase is mainly used in food for the following purposes:

·Producing low-lactose dairy products

·Improving the flavor of food

Specific applications:

 ·Pasteurized milk

Solving lactose intolerance problems

Increasing the absorption and utilization of minerals such as calcium

 ·Milk powder

Lactose is broken down into sweeter galactose and glucose

The sweetness increases by nearly 3 times, and the taste is better

Producing oligosaccharides, promoting intestinal health

 ·Ice cream, condensed milk

Preventing lactose from precipitating into particles

Increasing sweetness, enhancing the milk flavor

Improving the overall flavor

 ·Yogurt

The lactose breakdown rate increases from 20% to 90%

The fermentation time is shortened by 30%

The product becomes thicker and has a stronger milk aroma

Lactic acid bacteria grow faster, extending the shelf life

Q1: What is β-galactosidase used for?
A: It's mainly used to hydrolyze lactose in milk and dairy products or as a digestive aid in supplements to help individuals with lactose intolerance.

Q2: Is β-galactosidase the same as lactase?
A: Yes, lactase is the common name for β-galactosidase when referring to its activity in breaking down lactose.

Q3: How is β-galactosidase produced?
A: It is produced through fermentation of microorganisms such as Aspergillus oryzae or Kluyveromyces lactis, followed by purification and drying into a stable powder form.

Q4: Can β-galactosidase withstand heat processing?
A: Thermostability depends on the enzyme's microbial source; fungal-derived enzymes are optimal for mild processing temperatures, while bacterial forms are more heat-tolerant.

Q5: Is it safe for vegetarians and vegans?
A: Yes. Microbially derived β-galactosidase is suitable for vegetarian and vegan applications.

Q6: Does β-galactosidase alter the nutritional profile of milk?
A: No, it does not reduce nutritional value - it simply converts lactose into glucose and galactose, which are more digestible and slightly sweeter.
