Lactose

Lactose is the major component in whey and is recovered by cristallisation in whey or permeate (deproteinated whey).

Lactose is a disaccharide composed of the monosaccharides Alpha-D-Glucose and Beta-D-Galactose. Several types and grades of lactose products exists - for example technical, edible and pharma grade - to meet the needs of various end-users.

BMI produces lactose in edible grade and we offer different types of granulation. Our raw material is either sweet whey, acid whey or permeate.
