AILAZYME® LAC
Lactase Solutions for Lactose-Free Dairy Processing
AILAZYME® LAC includes lactase solutions designed to hydrolyze lactose in milk and dairy systems, helping manufacturers produce lactose-free and reduced-lactose products with reliable process performance and consistent product quality. The range includes neutral lactase solutions for dairy processing and acid lactase options for specific low-pH and specialty applications.
Flexible Lactase Solutions for Modern Dairy Processing
AILAZYME® LAC solutions are designed for dairy manufacturers who need efficient lactose hydrolysis under different processing conditions. The enzyme breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose, helping producers create lactose-free or reduced-lactose dairy products while maintaining process flexibility and product consistency.
The AILAZYME® lactase range includes neutral lactase solutions for milk and dairy processing, as well as acid lactase solutions for low-pH or specialty applications. This allows dairy manufacturers to select the most suitable enzyme depending on product type, hydrolysis temperature, process time, pH conditions, and desired residual lactose level.

Why Dairy Processors Choose AILAZYME® LAC
Efficient Lactose Hydrolysis
Breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose to support lactose-free and reduced-lactose dairy production.
Flexible Processing Options
Supports different process setups depending on temperature, hydrolysis time, product format, and residual lactose target.
Solutions for Neutral and Acid Conditions
The AILAZYME® lactase range includes options for standard dairy processing as well as specific low-pH or specialty applications.
Technical Support for Process Optimization
Dosage depends on milk composition, lactose content, process conditions, storage profile, and target lactose level, so technical support matters.
AILAZYME® LAC-AC
Acid lactase for low-pH and specialty applications
Recommended for:
specific low-pH applications
whey processing
digestive / dietary supplement concepts
selected GOS-related and specialty lactose hydrolysis uses
AILAZYME® LAC-AC is an acid lactase produced from Aspergillus oryzae and is effective in lower pH conditions. In addition to specialty dairy-related applications, it can also be used in whey treatment and selected formulations where acid lactase performance is required.
AILAZYME® LAC 2K / 5K
Neutral lactase for dairy processing
Recommended for:
lactose-free milk production
reduced-lactose dairy products
batch hydrolysis systems
dairy applications where process control, hydrolysis time, and residual lactose targets are key considerations
Derived from a selected strain of Kluyveromyces lactis, AILAZYME® LAC is designed for lactose hydrolysis in dairy systems and is available in multiple activity options. The product performs best around neutral pH conditions and can be adapted to different temperature and time profiles depending on the production process.
Choose the Right AILAZYME® Lactase Solution
Process Flexibility for Different Hydrolysis Conditions
AILAZYME® LAC can be applied under different hydrolysis temperatures, dosage rates, and process times depending on the dairy application. Internal application data shows that lactose hydrolysis performance changes significantly with temperature and enzyme dosage, which is why the optimal setup should always be selected based on the target product and process design.
Our technical team can help define the most suitable lactase solution and dosage strategy based on:
milk composition and lactose concentration
desired lactose level in the final product
batch hydrolysis time and temperature
in-line or post-packaging process conditions
product shelf-life requirements
How AILAZYME® CHY-G Works
Lactase, also known as β-galactosidase, hydrolyzes lactose into glucose and galactose. In dairy processing, this reaction helps reduce or eliminate lactose in milk-based systems, enabling manufacturers to produce lactose-free or reduced-lactose products for lactose-sensitive consumers.
For industrial dairy processing, final hydrolysis performance depends on several variables, including milk composition, lactose concentration, enzyme dosage, temperature, process time, and the target residual lactose level. Post-packaging conditions can also influence the final hydrolysis result in some process configurations.
