Lactose Monohydrate M-100
Lactose is a disaccharide sugar derived from galactose and glucose that is found in milk. Lactose makes up around 2–8% of milk (by weight),[3] although the amount varies among species and individuals, and milk with a reduced amount of lactose also exists. It is extracted from sweet or sour whey. The name comes from lac or lactis, the Latin word for milk, plus the -ose ending used to name sugars.[4] It has a formula of C12H22O11 and the hydrate formula C12·11H2O, making it an isomer of sucrose.
