Lactase Enzyme Manufacturer & Supplier
Lactase Enzyme for Dairy Processing, Lactose Hydrolysis, and Nutraceutical Applications
Catalex Bio is a lactase enzyme manufacturer and supplier providing high-quality lactase enzymes for lactose hydrolysis in lactose-free milk production, dairy processing, and nutraceutical digestive enzyme formulations. Our lactase enzyme solutions support supplement manufacturers and food processors seeking reliable lactose conversion, consistent enzyme activity, and scalable commercial supply.
Lactase enzyme, also known as β-galactosidase, catalyzes the hydrolysis of lactose into glucose and galactose. This reaction is essential for producing lactose-reduced dairy products, improving digestibility of dairy ingredients, and supporting digestive enzyme formulations used for lactose intolerance.
Lactase enzymes are widely used across nutraceutical, dairy, and food processing industries, where controlled lactose hydrolysis is required to enhance digestibility, improve product formulation, and support lactose-free or lactose-reduced applications.
Key Benefits
- Efficient hydrolysis of lactose into glucose and galactose
- Supports production of lactose-free and lactose-reduced dairy products
- Improves digestibility of dairy ingredients for lactose-intolerant consumers
- Enables controlled lactose hydrolysis in milk and whey processin
- Widely used in nutraceutical digestive enzyme formulations
- Consistent enzyme activity for reliable industrial processing
Applications of Lactase Enzyme
Nutraceutical & Digestive Enzyme Supplements:
Used in digestive enzyme formulations designed to support individuals with lactose intolerance by helping break down lactose during digestion.
Dairy Processing & Lactose Hydrolysis:
Applied in milk and dairy processing to hydrolyze lactose, improving digestibility and supporting lactose-reduced dairy formulations.
Lactose-Free Milk & Dairy Products:
Enables production of lactose-free milk, yogurt, and dairy beverages by converting lactose into simpler sugars that are easier to digest.
Whey & Dairy Ingredient Processing:
Used in whey processing to hydrolyze lactose in whey streams, improving functionality of whey-based ingredients in food applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Lactase Enzyme
What is lactase enzyme used for?
Lactase, also called β-galactosidase, hydrolyzes lactose into glucose and galactose. It is widely used in lactose-free dairy production, dairy processing, whey processing, and digestive enzyme formulations.
What is lactase used for in lactose-free milk?
Lactase breaks down lactose in milk, enabling the production of lactose-free and lactose-reduced milk and dairy beverages with improved lactose digestibility.
What is the typical lactase dosage for dairy processing?
Lactase dosage depends on the enzyme activity, lactose concentration, processing temperature, pH, and required degree of hydrolysis. Catalex Bio can recommend the appropriate activity and dosage based on the dairy process.
Can lactase be used for whey and whey protein processing?
Yes. Lactase can hydrolyze lactose in whey streams and whey-based ingredients, supporting lactose-reduced formulations and improved processing flexibility.
Is lactase used in digestive enzyme supplements?
Yes. Lactase is widely incorporated into digestive enzyme and nutraceutical formulations designed to help break down dietary lactose.
What forms and activity strengths of lactase are available?
Catalex Bio supplies lactase in powder and liquid forms, with multiple activity strengths available according to the application and processing requirements.
