  2. Lactose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactose

    Lactose, or milk sugar, is a disaccharide composed of galactose and glucose and has the molecular formula C 12 H 22 O 11.Lactose makes up around 2–8% of milk (by mass). The name comes from lact (gen. lactis), the Latin word for milk, plus the suffix -ose used to name sugars.

  3. Lactase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactase

    Lactase (EC 3.2.1.108) is an enzyme produced by many organisms and is essential to the complete digestion of whole milk.It breaks down the sugar lactose into its component parts, galactose and glucose.

  4. Sugar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar

    Lactose, maltose, and sucrose are all compound sugars, disaccharides, with the general formula C 12 H 22 O 11. They are formed by the combination of two monosaccharide molecules with the exclusion of a molecule of water. [72] Lactose is the naturally occurring sugar found in milk. A molecule of lactose is formed by the combination of a molecule ...

  5. Milk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk

    The lactose gives milk its sweet taste and contributes approximately 40% of the calories in whole cow's milk's. Lactose is a disaccharide composite of two simple sugars, glucose and galactose. Bovine milk averages 4.8% anhydrous lactose, which amounts to about 50% of the total solids of skimmed milk.

  6. Disaccharide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disaccharide

    For example, milk sugar (lactose) is a disaccharide made by condensation of one molecule of each of the monosaccharides glucose and galactose, whereas the disaccharide sucrose in sugar cane and sugar beet, is a condensation product of glucose and fructose. Maltose, another common disaccharide, is condensed from two glucose molecules. [7]

  7. Carbohydrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbohydrate

    Lactose is a disaccharide found in animal milk. It consists of a molecule of D-galactose and a molecule of D-glucose bonded by beta-1-4 glycosidic linkage.. A carbohydrate (/ ˌ k ɑːr b oʊ ˈ h aɪ d r eɪ t /) is a biomolecule consisting of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms, usually with a hydrogen–oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water) and thus with the empirical formula C m ...

  9. Galactose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactose

    The word galactose was coined by Charles Weissman [6] in the mid-19th century and is derived from Greek γαλακτος, galaktos, (of milk) and the generic chemical suffix for sugars -ose. [7] The etymology is comparable to that of the word lactose in that both contain roots meaning "milk sugar". Lactose is a disaccharide of galactose plus ...
