Question

What are the considerations for formulating an oral spray using `Lactoferrin (95%)`, specifically regarding its solubility, dispersion, and heat sensitivity?

Answer

Yes, Lactoferrin (95%) can be used in oral sprays. Our Lactoferrin is a protein derived from milk, known for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and immune-modulating properties. It is widely used in the food and beverage industry, including infant formulas and dietary supplements, which indicates its suitability for oral applications.

However, it is important to note that Lactoferrin (95%) is described as "poorly soluble" and "can be dispersed in water." This means that while it can be incorporated into a water-based spray, you may need to consider specific formulation techniques to ensure proper dispersion and stability in your oral spray product. It also cannot withstand heat, so it should be added during the cool-down phase of your formulation. The recommended usage rate is 1-4%.
