Division Definition

F1Bovine lactoferrin (bLF) is a protein that occurs naturally in cow's milk. It is an iron-binding glycoprotein of approximately 77 kDa and consists of a single polypeptide chain of 689 amino acids.

bLF is isolated from skimmed milk or cheese whey via ion exchange and subsequent ultra-filtration steps. Finally it is dried by freeze drying or spraying and the large particles are sieved out.

Description: Virtually odorless, light pinkish powder
