Division Definition

Bovine lactoferrin (bLF) is a protein that occurs naturally in cows’ 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 via ion exchange and subsequent ultra-filtration steps. Finally it is dried by spraying and large particles are sieved out.

Description: Virtually odourless, light pinkish powder.
