Lactoferrin from Milk: Nutraceutical and Pharmacological Properties
Lactoferrin is an iron-binding protein present in large quantities in colostrum and in breast milk, in external secretions and in polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Lactoferrin's main function is non-immune protection. Among several protective activities shown by lactoferrin, those displayed by orally administered lactoferrin are: (i) antimicrobial activity, which has been presumed due to iron depri...
متن کاملExtraction and Purification of Lactoferrin from Camel Milk and Investigation of Its Amylase Activity
Background and purpose: Lactoferrin is found in mucus, milk, and colostrum secretions and has antimicrobial activities, improves iron absorption, and enhances immune responses. Lactoferrin has the ability to degrade starch. The aim of this study was to investigate the preservation of milk lactoferrin enzymatic activity after purification by ion exchange chromatography. Materials and methods: ...
متن کاملLactoferrin in milk
Lactoferrin is a major component of breast milk protein, constituting 10-15% of the total content. Each molecule of lactoferrin is capable of binding two atoms of iron and it has been proposed that lactoferrin is involved in iron absorption in the newborn infant. It is known that iron status of exclusively breast-fed infants usually is satisfactory to 6-9 months of age, in spite of a low iron c...
متن کاملBioactive Peptides in Milk: From Encrypted Sequences to Nutraceutical Aspects
Milk provides a wide range of biologically active compounds that protect humans against diseases and pathogens. The purpose of this work is to describe the main aspects and research lines concerning bioactive peptides: from their chemistry, bioavailability, and biochemical properties to their applications in the healthcare sector. In this context, the uses of bioactive peptides in nutraceutical...
متن کاملEffect of Nutrition on Production, Composition, Fatty acids and Nutraceutical Properties of Milk
The objective of this paper was to determine the opportunities of improving milk productivity and altering the milk composition through nutritional interventions. The increase in the nutraceutical value of milk is expected through dietary modifications of the animal. Feeding high concentrate diets combined with dietary fat can be used to modify the FA profile of milk, without negative effect on...
