Lactose Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Milk Sugar
Lactose is a dairy-derived carbohydrate used in food, pharmaceutical, animal-feed and process applications in Malaysia. Also known as milk sugar, it is commonly specified as a white to off-white crystalline powder or granule, with the required grade selected for the buyer's formulation.
Commercial choices include food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade lactose monohydrate, spray-dried lactose, milled or sieved forms, anhydrous lactose and specialist inhalation grades. These options differ in hydrate state, particle characteristics and intended processing route, so the required standard should be named in the enquiry.
Applications include dairy and infant-formula blending, confectionery, bakery, seasonings, tablet and capsule formulation, dry-powder inhaler carriers, animal feed and fermentation media.
