Lactase is also named β-galactosidase, derived from the Aspergillus oryzae. It’s a food grade enzyme which is produced from submerged fermentation. It is widely used in dietary supplements as a digestive aid to reduce lactose intolerance.
The lactase can hydrolyze the β-glycosidic bond of lactose molecule into glucose and galactose, rendering it easily digestible.
Enzyme Activity Definition: One lactase unit is defined as the quantity of enzyme that will liberate o-nitrophenol at a rate of 1 µmol per minute under the condition of hydrolyze oNPG at 37℃ and pH 4.5.
