Lactose intolerance is one of those problems that is most acutely felt by certain categories of people and requires a binding solution.
Lactose is a carbohydrate of animal origin (disaccharide) and one of the main components of milk. For this reason, it is the main nutrient in the first years of a child’s life. But in its original form, lactose cannot be absorbed by the body, its digestion requires a special enzyme — lactase. This natural catalyst is produced in the human small intestine and is needed for the hydrolysis of lactose, and subsequently for the formation of monosaccharides such as galactose and glucose (grape sugar).
However, the main problem is that in certain groups of people there is a lack or complete absence of lactase. And when using lactose-containing foods, they have painful symptoms caused by the process of fermentation in the intestines and digestive system upset.
For such cases, the preparation «Astrolact» was developed by the manufacturer Calza Clemente s.r.l. (Italy). It is a complex containing lactase isolated from selected strains of Kluyveromyces Lactis yeast. The introduction of this preparation into the technological process allows to create dairy products for people who have lactose intolerance.
