Lactose is a disaccharide succar derived frae galactose an glucose that is foond in milk. Lactose maks up aroond 2~8% o milk (bi wicht), altho the amoont varies amang species an individuals. It is extractit frae sweet or sour whey. The name comes frae lac or lactis, the Latin wird for milk, plus the -ose endin uised tae name succars. It haes a formula o C12H22O11.
