Lactose Monohydrate FG
Lactose, also known as Milk Sugar, is a naturally occurring sugar found in milk. Edible lactose powder is commonly added to baby formula, serves as a filler in many baked goods, and even plays a role in the beer brewing process. It can be used as a filler, carrier, or stabilizer. It is hydrophilic, which means it attracts and binds water - great for hygroscopic formulations! It is more stable than some sugars in moderate humidity. It helps reduce crystallization in syrups.
