One FCC Lactase Unit (ALU) is defined as the quality of enzyme that will liberate one micromole of o-nitrophenol per minute at 37º C and a pH of 4.5. It is based on a 15 minute hydrolysis of an o-nitrophenol-beta-D-galactopyranoside substrate. The acceptance criteria for all enzyme assays is: NLT 85.0% and NMT 115.0% of the declared units of enzyme activity.
We hereby declare that, to the best of our knowledge, this product was not produced from or with GMO plant material.
Statement Option #1: Pure Single Ingredient This 100% single ingredient does not contain or use any additives, preservatives, carriers and/or processing aids in its manufacturing process. Statement Option #2: Multiple Ingredients Must include all/any additional sub ingredients contained in and/or used in its manufacturing process.
We hereby declare that, to the best of our knowledge, this product is gluten-free and was not manufactured with any ingredients containing gluten.
This product does not contain any trans fats.It is a B-galactosidase produced by the controlled fermentation of a Non-GMO strain of Aspergillus oryzae. The lactose hydrolyzes the B-1,4-glycosidic bonds in lactose; releasing an equal molar mixture of glucose and galactose. The food grade powder contains no chemical preservatives.The pH optimum is 4.0 to 5.0 with a stability range of 4.0 to 7.5. The optimum temperature is 55ºC with a stability range from 30ºC to 55ºC.
We hereby confirm that, to the best of our knowledge, this product is free of BSE/TSE.

Lactase is mainly used in the food industry to convert low-sweetness and low-solubility lactose into sweeter, more soluble monosaccharides (glucose and galactose); it can be used in ice cream, concentrated milk, and evaporated milk. The possibility of lactose crystallization is reduced, and sweetness is increased at the same time.
