Abstract

An aqueous lactoferrin solution can be thermally treated for heat pasteurization or spray drying purposes substantially without impairing the iron-binding ability of the lactoferrin by first adjusting the ionic strength thereof in accordance with the formulae, wherein I is ionic strength and T is temperature (.degree.C.): EQU log I.ltoreq.-T/10+5 (60.ltoreq.T.ltoreq.80.degree. C.) EQU log I.ltoreq.-3 (T.gtoreq.80.degree. C.).
