(Food-Beverage-News.Com, April 04, 2018 ) Lactose is the natural sugar present in milk or milk products. Lactase is an enzyme that helps in the digestion of lactose. Therefore, deficiency of lactase leads to the accumulation of lactose in the body, which causes gas, cramps, bloating, nausea, and diarrhea. The foods that do not contain lactose are termed as lactose-free food products.
Publishers analysts forecast the global lactose-free food market to grow at a CAGR of 11.10% during the period 2017-2021.
The rising levels of lactose intolerance as one of the primary growth factors for this market. Lactose intolerance is the inability of the body to digest a significant amount of lactose present in milk and dairy products. Some of the key symptoms of lactose intolerance include diarrhea, indigestion and abdominal pain, flatulence, abdominal bloating and distention, and nausea. The growing incidences of food allergies such as lactose intolerance stimulate the demand for lactose-free products since they are highly digestible.
