CAS 112163-33-4 Lactoferrin Raw Material Lactoferrin Food Grade

Product Description

Lactoferrin (LF), also known as lactotransferrin (LTF), is a multifunctional protein of the transferrin family. Lactoferrin is a globular glycoprotein with a molecular mass of about 80 kDa that is widely represented in various secretory fluids, such as milk, saliva, tears, and nasal secretions. Lactoferrin is also present in secondary granules of PMN and is secreted by some acinar cells. Lactoferrin can be purified from milk or produced recombinantly. Human colostrum ("first milk") has the highest concentration, followed by human milk, then cow milk (150 mg/L).

Lactoferrin is a metal-binding glycoprotein, each molecule of which binds to two iron atoms and plays an iron transfer role. It is usually used to make lactoferrin powder, which is a special protein product extracted, purified and dried from high-quality fresh milk. It is in powder form, has good fluidity, high iron binding, milk flavor, and no odor such as mold.

There are many products containing lactoferrin on the market, including yogurt, skimmed milk, health food and fermented dairy products.
