lactose
A sugar that occurs in the milk of mammals and is also known as milk sugar. Many people cannot digest this sugar well, which leads to lactose intolerance.
Joghurt und Käse enthalten oft weniger Laktose als frische Milch.
Yogurt and cheese often contain less lactose than fresh milk.
The term 'Laktose' (lactose) is a technical term from chemistry. It is derived from the Latin word 'lac' for milk and has the ending '-ose', which is typical for types of sugar.
Die Endung -ose in Laktose, Fruktose oder Glukose signalisiert immer einen Zucker.
The ending -ose in lactose, fructose, or glucose always signals a sugar.
In everyday life, the word is often found in connection with 'Intoleranz' (intolerance). Other common combinations include verbs such as 'enthalten' (to contain), 'vertragen' (to tolerate), or 'verdauen' (to digest).
Ich vertrage Laktose leider nicht sehr gut.
Unfortunately, I don't tolerate lactose very well.
Although it is a technical term, 'Laktose' (lactose) is very present in everyday life. You very often encounter the derived adjective 'laktosefrei' (lactose-free), which appears on food packaging.
Gibt es diesen Kaffee auch mit laktosefreier Milch?
Is this coffee also available with lactose-free milk?
