Goat milk lactoperoxidase was purified using CM-Sephadex-C-50 ion exchange

chromatography and Sephadex G-100 gel filtration. The purified protein was found

to have high antifungal and antibacterial activity in a thiocyanate-H2O2 medium.

The results are relevant enough to suggest the exploitation of

LP-thiocyanate-H2O2 system as an effective agent against many of the disease

causing organisms in plants and animals.
