Lactoferrin and Lactoperoxidase Market: Emerging Niche Segments and Regional Industry Outlook

Lactoferrin belongs to the transferring family of protein and is a 70-80 kDa single sub unit glycoprotein and is comprised of two domains, each consisting one iron-binding site which requires synergistic binding of a bicarbonate anion. Lactoferrin and lactoperoxidase is a part of whey protein concentrates. Whey protein is a liquid that is derived from cheese. Whey protein is primarily of three types such as whey protein concentrates, whey protein isolates and whey protein hydrolysate. Whey protein concentrate is rich in Lactose and low in protein content comprises of more than one third of the market based on usage. Lactoferrin is partly saturated with iron which is mostly present in mammalian and several other exocrine fluids such as mucous secretion and saliva. However, Lactoperoxidase is a hemoprotein which allows catalyzing the oxidation iodide ions and thyocyanate in order to produce oxidizing agents.
