Ha-Lactase™

More consumers are turning to dairy as an important source of protein and nutrients and consume dairy products several times a day. As the daily consumption of dairy products increases, providing lactose-free options is key to ensuring that consumers take advantage of the positive benefits of dairy, while minimizing the potential discomforts caused by lactose.

Ha-Lactase™ is the ideal solution for developing tasty and healthy lactose-free products.

Ha-Lactase™ is a classic yeast lactase, a widely approved enzyme preparation suitable for organic dairy products. Ha-Lactase™ converts lactose into glucose and galactose, enhancing sweetness perception while creating the option for going lactose-free.

For dairy producers, this is fantastic, as it provides an opportunity to differentiate in two ways:

• Production of all types of lactose-free dairy products: Use Ha-Lactase™ to remove lactose in milk, yogurt, quark, cheese and other dairy to provide dairy products with low or no lactose for easy digestibility.
• Reduction of added sugar in fermented dairy: Ha-Lactase™ converts lactose into glucose and galactose, both of which are perceived to taste sweeter than lactose. This enables the dairy producer to reduce the added sugar (or other sweetener) content, typically by 1-2 grams per 100 grams.

Ha-Lactase™ is available in several pack sizes and two activity levels: 2100 NLU/g and 5200 NLU/g. It is also available for aseptic dosing with TetraPak® Aseptic Dosing Unit F (Flex-Dos®) and the GEA® VARI-DOS-ASEPT® system. Ha-Lactase™ products can be used for Kosher, Halal, vegetarian, V-log, non-GMO and other GMO-free labeling of products.

Ha-Lactase™ products are backed up by technical and application support from our Dairy Application Specialists, who can advise on the use of Ha-Lactase™ in dairy applications.
