| Answer» A. Lactose | |

Explanation: Lactose is a disaccharide sugar that is found most notably in milk and is formed from galactose and glucose. Lactose makes up around 2-8% of milk (by weight), although the amount varies among species and individuals. It is extracted from sweet or sour whey. The name comes from lac or lactis, the Latin word for milk, plus the -ose ending used to name sugars. It has a formula of C12H22O11. Food industry applications, both of pure lactose and lactose- containing dairy by-products, have markedly increased since the 1960s. |
