Product & engineering
Understand the product.
The Bovine Lactoferrin industry can be broken down into several segments, Freeze Dried and Milled, Spay Dried Powder, etc.
Across the world, the major players cover Fonterra Group, Bega Cheese, etc.
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 one of the components of the immune system of the body; it has antimicrobial activity (bacteriocide, fungicide) and is part of the innate defense, mainly at mucoses. This multi-functional characteristic of lactoferrin has seen its use increase enormously in the last 10 years and now includes mainstream foods and nutraceutical products including infant formula, dietary supplements, dairy, beverages, oral care, skin care and pet food.
