ok today's microbio lesson was kinda interesting about probiotics..i consume it every other day whenever i feel constipated...*erk
now i noe the what it means to be lactose intolerant...
in a normal person,there is this enzyme called lactase which is responsible for the conversion of lactose --> lactic acid..
however in the case of lactose intolerant people,the gene for this enzyme was not expressed and thus there is no lactase enzyme to convert lactose to lactic acid..Therefore such people cannot consume lactose based products such as milk as it wouldn't be broken down.
ok im sounding like some food chemist..hahas...anyways my fyp topic is abt food..."development of a healthy food snack using functional starch"
finally ut is over *relieves...was kinda ok...looking forward to hols~
the sound of TRUTH.
