We have two Lactoferrin ingredients in the range to provide manufacturers with more flexibility to develop infant formula products. Our ingredients, SureStart™ Lactoferrin 7100 and SureStart™ Lactoferrin 7200, promote the growth of bifidobacteria in preterm infants, contributing to the development of the immune and digestive system.
SureStart™ Lactoferrin 7100
NZMP SureStart™ Lactoferrin 7100 is an iron binding whey protein extracted from fresh New Zealand and European bovine milk with a minimum lactoferrin content of 90% of the total protein.
This product is manufactured in Europe and New Zealand with specifications tailored for dry blend processing of maternal and paediatric products.
SureStart™ Lactoferrin 7200
NZMP SureStart™ Lactoferrin 7200 is an iron binding whey protein extracted from fresh New Zealand and European bovine milk with a minimum lactoferrin content of 95% of the total protein.
This product is manufactured in Europe and New Zealand with specifications tailored for dry blend processing of maternal and paediatric products.
This ingredient can be used in the following applications:
- Suitable for dry processing into paediatric applications for mothers and infants.
Lactoferrin is hydroscopic. Keep separated from odoriferous and volatile materials to prevent the absorption of flavour and odour taints. Ensure adequate protection by storing at temperatures below 25oC and relative humidities below 65%. Packages should not be in direct contact with walls or floors. Stock should be used within 36 months of manufacture.
