Lactoferrin is an iron-binding protein found in small amounts in cow's milk. In precision fermentation an engineered yeast, Komagataella phaffii, carries the cow's lactoferrin gene and secretes the protein, which is separated from the yeast, purified and spray-dried. It is a boundary entry, since the yeast makes one protein and nothing is soured or turned to alcohol.

Lactoferrin is an iron-binding protein found in small amounts in cow's milk. In precision fermentation an engineered yeast, Komagataella phaffii, carries the cow's lactoferrin gene and secretes the protein, which is separated from the yeast, purified and spray-dried. It is a boundary entry, since the yeast makes one protein and nothing is soured or turned to alcohol. Made in 4 steps over 4 days. The longest step, add methanol so the yeast makes lactoferrin, takes 3 days (Iglesias-Figueroa B 2016). Komagataella phaffii does most of the fermenting.
Unlike traditional ferments, the yeast is a factory for one milk protein, which is purified out after the yeast is spun and filtered off. Unlike lactoferrin from milk, no cow is involved.
The protein has the same amino-acid sequence as cow's milk lactoferrin, so it can trigger milk allergy and must be labelled as a milk allergen. FDA had no questions about TurtleTree's notice (GRN 1219). The lab method adds methanol, a flammable liquid that can damage the optic nerve and cause blindness, so this is a lab process and not a home recipe.
