Synthesis and physicochemical characterization of bovine lactoferrin supersaturated complex with iron (III) ions.

ABSTRACT: The aim of the study was to investigate the process of Fe³⁺ binding to bLTF. Moreover, the physicochemical characterization of the respective supersaturated complex was studied. The knowledge should be important for the description of processes that may take place in dairy products fortified with iron. Additionally, the synthesized complex can be utilized as a dietary supplement for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Finally, it was shown that formation of supersaturated iron-protein structures which include LTF often accompanies development of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer or Parkinson. Thus, the study can reveal some aspects of its pathogenesis process. The methodology of the investigation comprised the utilization of batch sorption study and applyin
