ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a lactase solution comprising a lactase solution comprising less than 10 g/kg of poly and oligosaccharides, a process for the production of such a lactase solution from an untreated lactase solution, a sterilized lactase solution and to a process for the production of milk containing sterilized lactase, whereby such lactose is filter sterilized in-line with the milk production process.
