  • METHODS FOR ISOLATION, USE AND ANALYSIS OF FERRITIN
    Publication number: 20170087209
    Abstract: This invention provides methods of isolating ferritin from plant and animal material. The isolated ferritin can be administered to humans or animals in need of iron, and can be used to treat or supplement iron deficiency. The isolated ferritin can be used in industrial applications, such as increasing the iron content in heat-processed food or beverages. The methods of the invention also include remineralization of plant ferritin protein with iron atoms.
