Record 1, Textual support, English
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF
A white, hard crystalline mass or white powder with a sweet taste used in infant foods, margarine, butter, baking and confectionery. 10, record 1, English, - lactose
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The lactose of commerce is alpha-hydrate. It is formed whenever crystallization takes place at a moderate rate from aqueous lactose solutions below 93.5°C. All other forms of lactose in the presence of a small amount of water change to alpha-hydrate below 93.5°C, so it is the form normally encountered and the one most easily produced. Its crystals are hard and not very soluble. 11, record 1, English, - lactose
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1[right arrow]4)-β-D-glucopyranose: See the observations for "D" and "[right arrow];" form recommended by the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) for the systematic name corresponding to the CAS number indicated on the present record. 3, record 1, English, - lactose
