Abstract:This chapter explores lactose hydrolysis, emphasizing conventional techniques and the noteworthy immobilization of β-galactosidase on polymeric matrices to enhance the process. Lactose, present in milk and dairy, poses challenges for lactose-intolerant individuals, requiring enzymatic hydrolysis for lactose-free product development. The presence of other milk components, such as proteins and minerals, can indirectly influence the efficiency of lactose hydrolysis by potentially interacting with β-galactosidase … Show more
