Introduction
Hemoglobin Powder is a high-quality protein derivative extracted from red blood cells of healthy, quarantined animals (porcine or bovine). Through cell separation, hemolysis, and spray drying, we create a dark red powder that preserves the native protein’s key functional properties.
It serves two critical roles in food and nutraceutical industries:
1.Heme Iron Supplement: The most biologically active form of iron, ideal for fighting iron-deficiency anemia—without the gastric side effects of ferrous sulfate.
2.Natural Colorant: Mimics meat’s myoglobin, making it perfect for processed meats and even plant-based alternatives (to create that realistic "bleeding" effect).

Functions
1.Heme Iron Absorption (MOA)
• Direct Pathway: Heme iron is absorbed intact by enterocytes via the specific Heme Carrier Protein 1 (HCP1). This bypasses the complex regulation that limits absorption of non-heme (plant/mineral) iron.
• High Bioavailability: Absorption rates range from 15% to 35%—far higher than the 2-5% seen with inorganic iron salts. And it’s not affected by dietary inhibitors like tea tannins or grain phytates.
2.Color Fixation
• Myoglobin Mimic: When hydrated, hemoglobin brings back a vivid red color. When cooked, it denatures just like fresh meat—turning brown—for a realistic cooking experience in both meat products and analogs.
Applications
Dietary Supplements:
• Iron Capsules: Used for anemia treatment and pregnancy support—"gentle on the stomach" is a key customer benefit.
• Sports Nutrition: Helps boost oxygen transport (VO2 max) for endurance athletes.
Food Industry:
• Meat Products: Enhances color in sausages, hams, and bologna.
• Plant-Based Meat: A go-to ingredient (or its plant equivalent, leghemoglobin) for vegan burgers—delivers both meaty color and iron content.
Animal Nutrition:
• Piglet Feed: Highly digestible protein source to prevent anemia in weaning piglets.
• Pet Food: Natural colorant and iron supplement for premium dog/cat food.
Flow Chart
1.Collection: Fresh blood from inspected healthy animals (anticoagulant added during collection).
2.Separation: Centrifugation to split plasma (light fraction) from red blood cells (heavy fraction).
3.Hemolysis: Breaking the cell membranes to release hemoglobin.
4.Filtration: Removing cell debris (stroma).
5.Ultrafiltration: Concentration and desalination.
6.Pasteurization: Heat treatment to ensure microbiological safety.
7.Spray Drying: Rapid drying to preserve heme structure.
8.Packaging: Sealed in moisture-proof bags for storage.
Quality Standard of Lactoferrin
Product: Hemoglobin Powder (Food Grade)
| Item | Specification | Result |
| Appearance | Dark reddish-brown to purple powder | Conforms |
| Protein (Nx6.25) | ≥ 92.0% | 95.4% |
| Moisture | ≤ 6.0% | 4.2% |
| Ash | ≤ 4.0% | 2.8% |
| Iron (Fe) | ≥ 2500 ppm (0.25%) | 2800 ppm |
| Solubility | Soluble in water (pH > 7) | Conforms |
| pH (10% Solution) | 7.0 - 9.0 | 7.8 |
| Heavy Metals (Pb) | ≤ 1 ppm | Not Detected |
| Microbiology | Total Plate Count < 5000 CFU/g | Conforms |
Method of Analysis of Lactoferrin
• Protein: Kjeldahl Method (industry-standard for protein testing).
• Iron Content: Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) or ICP-MS.
• Heme Integrity: Spectrophotometric analysis to confirm the porphyrin ring remains intact—ensuring functional heme iron.
Reference Chromatogram of Lactoferrin Reference Substance
(Image Placeholder: UV-Vis Spectrum of Hemoglobin)
The spectrum shows the characteristic Soret band absorption at approximately 415 nm—proof that the heme group is intact within the protein structure.
Stability and Safety
Stability Studies
• Shelf Life: 24 months.
• Storage: Hemoglobin is sensitive to moisture and oxidation—must be stored in a cool, dry place. High humidity can cause caking and color degradation.
• Thermal Stability: Stable as a dry powder. In solution, it denatures (changes color) at temperatures above 65°C—which is actually a desired trait for cooking applications.
Safety & Handling (MSDS Summary)
• Classification: Non-hazardous food ingredient.
• Source Safety: Strictly sourced from BSE/TSE-free regions. Veterinary Health Certificates provided with every batch.

FAQ
What is the difference between Phytosterols and Phytosterol Esters?
Phytosterols are the free form (powder), having a higher melting point and lower oil solubility. They are ideal for tablets and capsules. Phytosterol Esters are esterified with fatty acids (liquid/paste), making them fat-soluble and perfect for adding to margarine, dairy, and softgels. We supply both forms.
What is the source of your Phytosterols?
We offer two sources: Soybean (most common, cost-effective) and Pine (Soy-free, hypoallergenic). Both meet the same purity standards (>95%). Please specify your preference when ordering.
Can we make a "Cholesterol Lowering" claim?
Yes, in many jurisdictions. For example, the US FDA allows a health claim for products containing at least 0.65g of plant sterol esters per serving (or 0.4g free sterols) when consumed twice a day as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol.
