Abstract
The present invention provides a process of producing a lactose concentrate, said process comprising the step of subjecting a partially demineralised aqueous lactose isolate to electrodialysis to produce a biotin-reduced lactose isolate containing at least 90% lactose by weight of dry matter and less than 2 mg ash per gram of lactose, and containing: The present invention also relates to a demineralised lactose concentrate having a reduced biotin content that can be produced by the aforementioned process. The invention further relates to an oligosaccharide-enriched biotin-reduced fraction that is obtained when lactose is separated before or after the electrodialysis step.
