THE EUROPEAN LACTOSE-FREE MARKET 2017/2018 1.3.2 LACTOSE CONTENT OF MAMMALIAN MILKS Cows’ milk 4.7% Sheeps’ milk 4.9% To view, please download FULL Report Human milk 6.9% Goat’s milk 4.1% Figure 1.2: The percentage of lactose found in different mammalian milks 4 § There is sometimes a perception that lactose is found predominantly in cows’ milk, although the carbohydrate is found in all mammalian milk (see figure 1.2). Sheep and goats’ milk contain very similar lactose concentrations to cows’ milk, whilst human breastmilk contains over 2% more lactose than cows’ milk. § There is anecdotal evidence that lactose from the milk of smaller mammals is easier to digest, decreasing the likelihood of lactose intolerance symptoms. Other theories suggest that many people who claim to be lactose intolerant actually have an allergy to the alpha S1 casein protein, which is much less prevalent in goats’ milk.

THE EUROPEAN LACTOSE-FREE MARKET 2017/2018 1.3.3 MILK ALTERNATIVES FOR LACTOSE INTOLERANT CONSUMERS Lactose intolerance Lactose-free dairy Plant based alternatives Lactase drops & pills To view, please download FULL Report How?: Cows’ milk is filtered and subjected to the enzyme lactase. Top brands: Arla Lactofree; Valio How?: Milk substitutes are created using plants including soy, oats & nuts. Top brands: Alpro; Blue Diamond How?: Lactase drops added to milk or taken as a tablet before eating, to facilitate lactose break down. Figure 1.3: Alternative dairy options for lactose intolerance sufferers. § Dairy is a good dietary source of calcium - vital for bone, muscle and heart health. It is recommended for those with lactase deficiency to replace dairy with other sources of calcium. § There are several dairy-based products on the market, which have been processed using filtration and enzymes to remove lactose. Enzyme drops are available to treat milk at home. Both methods allow lactose-intolerance sufferers to consume dairy without adverse side effects, whilst still benefitting from the milk’s calcium & vitamins. § Plant-based milk alternatives are also available, some of which are fortified with calcium and vitamins.
