Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lactose fermentation technology for milk powder, specifically a lactose fermentation reduction device for milk powder suitable for lactose intolerant individuals. Background Technology

[0002] Lactose intolerance is a common digestive problem caused by a lack of lactase in the body, making it difficult to digest lactose. Causes are classified as primary, secondary, and congenital. Primary lactose intolerance is related to genetics, with lactase activity decreasing with age. Secondary lactose intolerance is often caused by intestinal diseases, medications, or damage to the small intestinal mucosa. Congenital lactose intolerance is extremely rare; individuals are born without lactase. After consuming lactose-containing foods, patients experience symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, the severity of which varies from person to person. Diagnosis relies on medical history, symptoms, and tests such as lactose tolerance tests and hydrogen breath tests. Treatment primarily involves adjusting the diet, choosing low-lactose or lactose-free foods, and, when necessary, using lactase preparations.

[0003] The market demand for lactose-intolerant milk powder is growing. Traditional milk powder production processes have many shortcomings in reducing lactose content. While common chemical methods can reduce lactose content, they may affect the nutritional components and flavor of the milk powder. Furthermore, such devices cannot accurately control the degree of lactose fermentation, making it impossible to ensure that the lactose content meets the needs of lactose-intolerant individuals. Ordinary physical separation methods are inefficient and difficult to apply on a large scale. Therefore, we propose a lactose fermentation reduction device for lactose-intolerant milk powder.
