Biosynthesis and functionalization of recombinant bovine lactoferrin: Alginate-mediated stabilization and MTGase-induced gelation for anthocyanin delivery.
Bovine lactoferrin (BLF) is a milk-derived glycoprotein with diverse biological activities, including antimicrobial, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory functions, with potential for applications in functional foods and nutraceuticals. However, its practical utilization remains limited by key challenges: low efficiency o...
