LACTOYIELD® is a novel enzyme which allows cost-effective conversion of lactose to lactobionic acid (LBA). LBA is a value-added product used in specific applications within the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry and may also be used to increase cheese yield.
As a charged molecule, LBA may be more easily removed than lactose from whey products such as galacto-oligosaccharides, resulting in increased purity and higher whey value.
