Lactoperoxidase

Lactoperoxidase (CAS 9003-99-0) is a naturally occurring enzyme derived from bovine milk and colostrum, supplied for its antimicrobial and oxidative activity.

Where is Lactoperoxidase used?

• Food and dairy processing: extends shelf life of raw milk and liquid dairy products without heat treatment
• Personal care and oral hygiene: antimicrobial efficacy in toothpastes, mouthwashes and saliva-substitute products
• Diagnostics and life sciences: labeling reagent for radioiodination of proteins
• Pharmaceutical research: biopreservative in protein-based formulations where conventional preservatives are incompatible
• It generates bactericidal compounds when combined with hydrogen peroxide and thiocyanate.

Good to know: The enzyme is the catalytic component of the lactoperoxidase system; this method is endorsed by FAO/WHO guidelines for global food safety. Buyers should confirm activity retention and cold-chain requirements when evaluating suppliers.
