Lactose Refractometer

Lactose is commonly extracted from whey and used in the production of baby food, confectionery, and artificial milk. It's also widely used in pharmaceutical applications.

As a flavoring agent, lactose has about one-sixth the sweetness of sucrose and is often added to milk products to enhance taste and texture.

Lactose refractometers are essential tools for measuring the soluble solids content in lactose quickly and accurately.

The intestines of young mammals produce lactase, an enzyme that breaks down lactose into simpler sugars. However, most adults, including many humans, have reduced lactase activity, leading to lactose intolerance. This condition can cause digestive issues such as bloating and diarrhea after consuming dairy products.

Human milk contains approximately 7% lactose, while cow’s milk has around 4.2%, and goat’s milk contains about 4.6%. Although lactose is present in all these milks, it is less sweet than sucrose—only about one-sixth as sweet.

The PAL-19S is a popular model of lactose refractometer designed for quick and reliable measurements.

This device works by placing the sample on the prism, where light refraction is measured. The result (or the value obtained after dilution, multiplied by the dilution factor) gives the lactose content in Brix units.
