Lactoferrin is a food-grade iron-binding glycoprotein isolated from bovine milk or whey, belonging to the transferrin family.We supply bulk Lactoferrin sourced from leading China manufacturers, available in powder form for international food processing operations. Our Lactoferrin is widely used in paediatric nutrition, functional foods, iron-fortified nutritional beverages, medical nutrition and recovery products.
Lactoferrin is produced by cation-exchange chromatography of pasteurised skim milk or whey, followed by ultrafiltration, diafiltration and spray drying.
With a molecular weight of ~80 kDa, it binds two Fe³⁺ ions per molecule. Bovine lactoferrin shares ~69% homology with human lactoferrin and is a premium functional ingredient for immune, gut and iron-nutrition applications.
