Enzymes for lactose conversion
Make the most of lactose-free, low-sugar and fiber-enriched trends
Lactose-intolerant and health-conscious consumers are making low-lactose the fastest growing dairy segment. An increasing focus on healthy eating is also driving growth in low-sugar and fiber-rich foods. With our lactases, you can tap into these trends while delivering the tastes and textures consumers demand.
Develop products with lactose-free claims
After infancy, an estimated 65% of the world's population is less able to digest lactose. Certain populations tend to have higher rates. For example, people of East Asian descent have rates between 70% and 100%. That means that a large part of the world's population could benefit from lactose-free dairy. There are also growing numbers of health-conscious consumers who see lactose-free as a healthier option. Our lactase enzymes convert lactose into two easily digestible sugars, glucose and galactose. That allows you to develop products with lactose-free claims.
Enhance sweetness or reduce sugar for low-sugar claims

Food labels influence consumers' choices. If you want to differentiate your brands with no- and less-added-sugar claims, our lactases can help. You can use them to enhance sweetness and develop reduced sugar formulations. Or they can help you reduce sugar directly without reformulation. Either way, the result is a healthier choice for consumers with no compromise on sweetness.
Fiber-rich and low-sugar with clean labels
Fiber-rich and low-sugar with clean labels
Consumers are growing increasingly aware of the importance of dietary fiber. Many are looking for ways to boost their intake. At the same time, they want to cut their sugar intake. One way to meet those needs is to reformulate with sweeteners and fiber ingredients. But these ingredients may impact label-conscious consumers' perception of your products. Our enzymes can help. By converting sugar into dairy-based fiber, they help you give consumers more fiber, less sugar and a clean label.
