Anhydrous lactose occurs as white to off-white crystalline particles or powder. Several different brands of anhydrous lactose are commercially available which contain anhydrous b-lactose and anhydrous a-lactose. Anhydrous lactose typically contains 70–80% anhydrous b-lactose and 20–30% anhydrous a-lactose.

개요젖당은 이름 그대로 포유류의 젖, 특히 초유 속에서 많이 발견되며, 그 양은 모유에 6.7%, 우 유에 4.5% 정도 함유되어 있다. 모유 속에서는 이 밖에도 10종 이상의 소당류가 발견되는데, 이들 은 모두 락토오스를 골격구조로 가지고 있다. 젖당은 젖 이 외에서는 별로 발견되지 않았으나, 식물 의 씨에서 발견되었다는 몇 가지 보고가 있다.

용도Lactose is a disaccharide carbohydrate that occurs in mammalian milk except that of the whale and the hippopotamus. it is princi- pally obtained as a cows’ milk derivative. it is also termed milk sugar and it is a reducing sugar consisting of glucose and galactose. its most common commercial form is alpha-monohydrate, with the beta-anhydride form available to a lesser extent. all forms in solution will equilibrate to a beta:alpha ratio of 62.25:37.75 at 0°c. it is about one-sixth as sweet as sugar and is less soluble. it functions as a flow agent, humectant, crystallization control agent, and sweetener. it is used in baked goods for flavor, browning, and tenderizing and in dry mixes as an anticaking agent.

일반 설명Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control, provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards.

생산 방법There are two anhydrous forms of lactose: a-lactose and b-lactose. The temperature of crystallization influences the ratio of a- and blactose. The anhydrous forms that are commercially available may exhibit hygroscopicity at high relative humidities. Anhydrous lactose is produced by roller drying a solution of lactose above 93.5°C. The resulting product is then milled and sieved. Two anhydrous a-lactoses can be prepared using special drying techniques: one is unstable and hygroscopic; the other exhibits good compaction properties. However, these materials are not commercially available.
