Liquid and Crystal products
Lactulose, also known as galacto-fructose, is a suitable ingredient for the development of food products.
Fresenius Kabi produces food-grade lactulose in a proprietary process for various applications, such as dairy products, infant formula and ready-to-eat foods for the general population.
The food-grade active ingredient is available as a liquid solution (~67% w/v) and in crystalline form.
Fresenius Kabi's lactulose crystals have been granted GRAS (Generally Recognised as Safe) status in USA and are considered safe for various applications in dairy products and beverages, such as meal replacement drinks, nutrition bars and dietary supplements.
Based on the health claims authorised in the individual countries, Fresenius Kabi has developed the Colowell® product line, which contains lactulose in the form of a fast-release powder in sticks.
