Lactose is the natural sugar present in milk or milk products. Lactase is an enzyme that helps in the digestion of lactose. Therefore, deficiency of lactase leads to the accumulation of lactose in the body, which causes gas, cramps, bloating, nausea, and diarrhea. The foods that do not contain lactose are termed as lactose-free food products.
Many consumers are now opting for lactose-free products due to the perceived health benefits of these products. Most consumers feel that drinking cow's milk can upset their digestive system and cause bloating. The growing demand for lactose-free products, in turn, is encouraging many manufacturers to make modifications to their processing techniques and dosages, and focus on lactose-free product formulations.
