Immobilization of enzymes for synergy in polymers to produce lactose free milk [PDF]
Scientific ReportsStabilization of the enzyme lactase is of interest in obtaining lactose-free foods. Optimization of the lactase enzyme activity was investigated using various immobilization methods, including encapsulation, and electrospinning.

World-wide distributions of lactase persistence alleles and the complex effects of recombination and selection [PDF]
Human Genetics, 2017 The genetic trait of lactase persistence (LP) is associated with at least five independent functional single nucleotide variants in a regulatory region about 14 kb upstream of the lactase gene [-13910*T (rs4988235), -13907*G (rs41525747), -13915*G ...

In vitro digestion and lactase treatment influence uptake of quercetin and quercetin glucoside by the Caco-2 cell monolayer [PDF]
Nutrition Journal, 2005 Background Quercetin and quercetin glycosides are widely consumed flavonoids found in many fruits and vegetables. These compounds have a wide range of potential health benefits, and understanding the bioavailability of flavonoids from foods is becoming ...

Genetic adult lactase persistence is associated with risk of Crohn's Disease in a New Zealand population [PDF]
BMC Research Notes, 2010 Background Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is an infective agent found in ruminants and milk products, which has been suggested to increase the risk of gastrointestinal inflammation in genetically susceptible hosts.

The Origins of Lactase Persistence in Europe
PLoS Computational Biology, 2009 Lactase persistence (LP) is common among people of European ancestry, but with the exception of some African, Middle Eastern and southern Asian groups, is rare or absent elsewhere in the world.

Characterization of putative mannoprotein in Kluyveromyces lactis for lactase production
Synthetic and Systems Biotechnology, 2023 Lactase is a member of the β-galactosidase family of enzymes that can hydrolyze lactose into galactose and glucose. However, extracellular lactase production was still restricted to the process of cell lysis.
