Animal plasma proteins
The LPS team employs many years of know-how in the field of plasma fractionation and with our ChimerAds technology it is possible to isolate individual functional plasma proteins with high yield and high purity
Isolation of animal plasma proteins
Animal blood and plasma is an abundant by-product of industrial slaughterhouses which contain highly functional proteins for food applications. Animal plasma also contain a host of bioactive proteins and enzymes that have significant market opportunities for animal and human healthcare applications, including substitution of antibiotics in animal farming.
The functionalities of animal plasma proteins are well described and still this source of valuable components seems vastly underutilized due to the lack of efficient and mild separation processes that retain the functional integrity while providing high yields of each component at a relevant processing cost.
The LPS team employs many years of know-how in the field of plasma fractionation for the development of individual proteins from animal plasma – with an initial focus on porcine and bovine plasma proteins – including albumin, immunoglobulin, fibrinogen and transferrin.
Example from our pipeline:
With the ChimerAds technology it is possible to isolate immunoglobulin products which provide maximum bioactivity, storage stability, ease-of-use and improved survival through passage of the gastric environment.
Concurrently, the albumin products are developed to provide optimal functionality with a minimum of taste and color contributions to the final food products.
Fibrinogen and transferrin can be isolated separately.
