Abstract:
Low lactose nutritional compositions and methods of producing low lactose nutritional compositions are provided. The methods include producing an initial nutritional composition comprising protein, carbohydrate, fat, and minerals. At least one high lactose protein source is utilized to provide 30-100% by weight of the total protein in the initial nutritional composition. Lactase is added to the initial nutritional composition to digest the lactose in the initial nutritional composition to form a low lactose nutritional composition.
