Mozzarella is one of Italy’s most valued and consumed products. For mozzarella lovers, being able to eat it is a real treat. PUnfortunately, not everyone can digest it, due to lactose intolerance or simply difficulty.
Milk delactose for lactose intolerance
Most people who are intolerant to or cannot digest milk tend to completely eliminate milk and all of its derivatives, such as cheese or ice cream; unfortunately, those who decide to eliminate everything tend to have calcium and vitamin deficiencies that affect the body’s health.
Delactose milk is a functional type of milk, in that it has the function of being digested by those who have intolerance for “lactose,” which is a specific milk sugar consisting of glucose and galactose. It was created not only for those who are intolerant, but also for those who simply struggle to digest lactose, or even those who need to follow a specific diet. In fact, we speak of lactose intolerance, not milk intolerance, as it is lactose that creates the disorder.
Nutritional principles: is delactose milk poorer than “normal” milk?
Delactose milk retains all the characteristics of milk, and thus also the nutrients and same benefits as unprocessed milk. It has excellent nutritional values, including vitamins, minerals, proteins, in fact they are at the base of the food pyramid, essential for a healthy diet, the well-being of the body and the health of adults and children.
What changes is the flavor. The taste is slightly sweeter, as the sugar present is no longer complex, but becomes a mixture that makes the milk sweeter.
Production of delactose milk
It is possible to produce low-lactose milk (>0.01) because there is a treatment that involves splitting lactose by adding the enzyme lactase, ultimately reducing the lactose content. Enzymes work to a stop through heat treatment.
