Is Clarified butter lactose free?!
Answers:
No!. Clarifying butter removes water and milk solids!. Lactose is not removed!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Clarified butter is butter that has been rendered to separate the milk solids and water from the butter fat!. Typically it is produced by melting butter and allowing the different components to separate by density!. The water evaporates, some solids float to the surface and are skimmed off, and the remainder of the milk solids sink to the bottom and are left behind when the butter fat (which would then be on top) is poured off!. The components that are not butter fat are usually discarded!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
No the term clarified butter is used when the butter is melted to separate the salt from the butter!. It is still a dairy product and contains lactose!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
