Description
Lactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein predominantly found in human and bovine milk. It exhibits potent antioxidant properties, effectively neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and thereby protecting cells from oxidative damage. This mechanism suggests its potential role in modulating oxidative damage and preventing the development of various chronic pathologies.
The extraction of lactoferrin is a meticulous process that begins with fresh cow’s milk. Typically, the cows are between two to five years old, with some exceeding five years. The milk undergoes advanced processing techniques, including ion exchange and membrane filtration, to ensure the production of high-quality lactoferrin. These methods are designed to preserve the integrity of the lactoferrin molecule, which is sensitive to heat and requires careful handling to prevent denaturation.
To maintain the purity and safety of the final product, suppliers implement a robust pesticide monitoring program. This program assesses the risk of various pesticides in whey and cheese products, including:
- Organophosphorous pesticides
- Organosulfur pesticides
- Phenylurea herbicides
- Carbamate pesticides
- Organonitrogen pesticides
- Halogenated pesticides
This comprehensive monitoring ensures that the lactoferrin produced is free from harmful residues, thereby safeguarding consumer health.
