As dietary intakes levels of Calcium decrease below those recommended by health authorities the incidence of Osteoporosis is set to continue to rise. To address this issue it is becoming necessary to fortify regularly consumed foods such as cereals, biscuits etc. with ingredients such as AquaCal. AquaCal is a natural, organic source of calcium that is produced from calcified seaweed, Phymatolithon and Lithothamnion and can be utilised for Calcium and magnesium supplementation in a broad range of foods and beverages. AquaCal presents a great potential over other calcium sources because of its porous structure and it composition associating key minerals as calcium, magnesium and boron in addition to being neutral in taste in applications. Once consumed the efficacy of AquaCal must then be verified therefore a bioavailability a comparative feeding study to assess effects of AquaCal on bone density was carried out. There was no significant difference in bioavailability based on calcium absorption between AquaCal and Limestone however the weights of the femurs of the animals fed AquaCal did significantly increase over the group fed Limestone. As a natural and organic mineral AquaCal has many different fields of application.

The purpose of this study was to compare the relative bioavailability of synthetic Vitamin C and Nutra-C^® (calcium ascorbate) using a randomized parallel pharmacokinetics study design. Under fasting conditions, 20 healthy volunteers were randomly allocated to receive a single oral dose (500 mg of ascorbic acid) of either synthetic Vitamin C or Nutra-C^®. Fasting blood was collected pre-dose and 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and 10 hr post-dose. The ascorbic acid content of human serum was determined using HPLC with ultraviolet detection. The fasting serum ascorbic acid concentrations of synthetic Vitamin C and Nutra-C^® were 6.734 ± 2.09 ng/mL (n = 10) and 7.542 ± 2.96 ng/mL (n = 10), respectively. The bioavailability of Nutra-C^® was significantly greater (128 %, p < 0.05) than that of the synthetic Vitamin C.

This study examined the effect of excess loading of calcium (Ca)and iron(Fe) on the bioavailability of minerals in both normal and Ca-and Fe-deficient rats. Three-week-old male rats were divided into four groups and fed experimental diets for six weeks, containing either normal (0.5%) or high(1.5%) Ca and normal (35ppm) or high (350ppm)Fe. Likewise, three-week-old male rats were first fed a Ca-and Fe-deficient diet for three weeks, and then fed one of four experimental diets for additional three weeks. In both normal and Ca-and Fe-deficient rats, ca contents of serum, liver, kidney and femur were not significantly affected by dietary Ca and Fe levels. Apparent Ca absorption(%) decreased in rats fed a high Ca diet regardless of dietary Fe levels. Magnesium(Mg) contents of serum, liver and femur significantly decreased in rats fed a high Ca diet. Fe contents of serum and liver significantly increased in rats fed a high-Fe diet, but decreased in rats fed a high Ca diet. Fe content of serum and liver significantly increased in rate fed a high-Fe diet, decreased in rats fed a high-Ca diet. Apparent Fe absorption increased in rats fed a high-Fe diet, and decreased in rats fed a high-Ca diet in Ca-and Fe-deficient rats, but dietary Ca did not seem to affect Fe absorption in normal rats. Phosphorus(P) contents of serum and femur were not significantly affected by dietary Ca and Fe levels in both normal and Ca-and Fe-deficient rats. Serum copper(Cu) decreased in rats fed a high-Fe diet, while serum zinc(Zn) decreased in rats fed a high-Ca diet in normal rats. Cu contents of liver, and Zn contents of serum and liver decreased in rats fed a high-Fe diet in Ca-and Fe-deficient rats. There results suggest that a dietary overload of Ca and Fe in both normal and Ca-and Fe-deficient rats may decrease mineral bioavailability leading to potential health problems.

The present study was designed to assess the influence of caeca on the availability of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese and copper from soybean, sunflower, rapeseed, sesame, fish and meat cum bone meal in adult roosters. The excretion of endogenous origin minerals viz., copper, magnesium, manganese and calcium was significantly (p<0.001) higher in caecectomized than in normal roosters. The difference in the endogenous excretion was 50; 60.45; 40.35 and 29.63 per cent for copper, magnesium, manganese and calcium, respectively, in caecectomized roosters. The caeca played a pivotal role in the reabsorption of endogenous origin calcium, magnesium, manganese and copper. The mechanism of phosphorus absorption by the caecal epithelium was negligible. The caecectomized roosters underestimated the bioavailability of copper in sunflower meal and manganese in almost all the test feedstuffs. The present investigation revealed that the caeca played a critical role in the absorption of minerals from vegetable protein feedstuffs which escape digestion and absorption in the small and large intestinal segments.

This study was to investigate interaction between dietary protein and Ca levels in Ca metabolism and renal function in osteporosis rats. Five week-old female rats were fed a low Ca diet for 4 weeks after ovariectomy operation to establish rat models of osteoporosis. The ovariectomized osteoporosis rats were divided into six groups and were fed experimental diets which contained two levels of protein, normal (20%) and high(40%) , and three levels of Ca, low (0.06%), normal (0.47%) and high(0.94%) for 4 weeks , respectively. The ovaricetmized rat model of osteoporosis showed a remarkable decrease in serum Ca concentration, fresh weight and breaking force of femur, Ca and P contents of femur, and apparent absorption and retention of Ca. The supplementations of Ca and P contents of femur, and apparent absorption and retention of Ca. The supplementations of Ca at the dietary levels of normal and high levels significantly enhanced Ca bioavailability shown in the above experimental rat models of osteoporosis, regardless of dietary protein levels ; whereas the rats which were fed the low Ca diet demonstrated rather a decrease in its bioavailability. Irrespectively of the dietary Ca levels, the rats which were fed high protein diet exhibited an increase in kidney weight, urinary Ca, volume and hydroxyproline, and glomerular filtration ratio(GFR). The results show that dietary protein and calcium levels affect the renal function and Ca metabolism independently, while the interaction between protein and calcium have not been shown.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of various types of calcium sources on calcium metabolism. Sprague-Dawley male rate weighing approximately 82g were divided into 6 groups and fed experimental diets containing about 0.2% calcium for 4 weeks. Perilla leaves, dried sea mustard, mulberry leaves, loach, skim milk powder, and CaCO3 were used as calcium sources for this study. Food intake of experimental groups showed no significant difference from that of control group, but food efficiency ratio were higher in group fed loach as a calcium source. Apparent calcium absorption from perilla leaves, and skim milk powder groups as good as that in CaCO group. Femur length showed no significant difference among exjerimental groups with different calcium sources. The breaking force of bone was higher in loach and dried sea mustard groups. Weight, ash weight, and calcium content of the femur were higher in the loach diet group than in the others. Thus, calcium from not only skim milk powder but also perilla leaves, dried sea mustard, mulberry leaves, and loach appears readily available and all of these can be recommended as calcium sources.

This study investigates the supplementing effects of milks by various heat treatment on growth performance and protein and calcium metabolism of rats. For 4 weeks, raw, LTLT-HTST-and UHT-processed milks were given to rats which fed on a calcium free, semi-synthetic diet containing 5%casein. There were no significant differences among the experimental groups in weight gain, feed efficiency ratio and the serum level of total protein and calcium. Also, no significant differences were showed in protein efficiency, nitrogen balance, apparent protein digestibiltiy and the contents of weight and calcium of the left femur as well as 2 incisors. However, the biological value of protein in the UHT-milk group was significantly higher than that of the raw-milk group. The apparent calcium digestibility and calcium balance in the UHT-milk group were higher than those in the raw-, LTLT- and HTST-milk groups. The weight of left femur in all the groups supplemented with various heat-treated milks was significantly impair the nutritive value of protein and calcium in milk. Futhermore, UHT-processing may improve the bioavailability of protein and calcium in milk.

본 연구는 $CaCO_3$를 표준으로 장내 칼슘 흡수를 촉진하는 peptide-Ca, anchovy-Ca, methionine hydroxyl analogue calcium의 생체이용성과 소화율을 평가하였다. 표 준군은 $CaCO_3$를 AIN-93G (1993)를 기준으로 칼슘 요구량의 0%, 30%, 60%로 첨가하여 모든 분석 항목에 대한 비교기준으로 삼았다. 실험군은 요구량의 40% 수준으로 각기 다른 칼슘 공급원으로 실험하였다. 실험결과는 대부분 칼슘 함량이 높은 Ca-60%군이 가장 높은 수치를 보여 주어 칼슘의 섭취량과 비례하여 양의 상관 관계를 보여 주었다. 생체이용성 평가에서는 MHA-Ca 군이 체중 증가량, BMD, BS, BBS 항목에서 높은 이용성을 보여 주었다. peptide-Ca은 회귀계수가 높은 회분함량 ($R^2\;=\;0.98$)과 BMC ($R^2\;=\;0.935$)를 이용한 평가 에서 표준군에 비해 11%, 7% 높은 이용성을 보여주었다. Anchovy-Ca군 역시 여러 생체이용성 평가항목에서 높은 이용성을 나타냈다. 이는 동일한 양의 칼슘을 섭취했을 때 실험군이 표준으로 사용된 $CaCO_3$ 보다 높은 칼슘 이용성을 가지고 있음을 의미한다. 하지만 본 연구로는 유기태 칼슘이 어떤생리 활성 작용을 통해 이러한 결과를 나타냈는지는 알 수 없었으며, 이 부분을 분명하게 규명하는 추가적인 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 소화율 측정항목에서는 Ca-0%군을 제외하고는 90% 이상 높은 칼슘 소화율을 나타냈다. 소화율과 보유율에서 peptide-Ca군이 유의한 차이는 없었지만 다른 실험군에 비해 미세하게 높았다. 이러한 차이의 축적으로 인해 생체이용성 평가시 실험군간 차이를 보여 주었다. 결국 공급한 칼슘에 대한 소화 및 흡수의 차이에 의해 뼈 건강관련 지표가 좋아지고 이로 인해 실험군의 생체 이용성이 높게 평가 되었다. Peptide-Ca와 순수한 식품 칼슘 급원인 멸치 뼈는 높은 칼슘 이용성을 나타내어, 체내칼슘 영양개선에 상당한 효과가 있슴이 증명되었다.

본 연구는 비건 인구의 증가 및 비건 문화의 확대에 발맞추어 대체육 제품에 대한 시장의 요구가 커짐에 따라, 대체육의 영양학적인 부적합의 가능성이 제시된 아미노산 조성과 아연 생체 이용률의 측면에서 대체육 제품이 동물성 육류 제품을 영양학적으로 대체할 수 있는지 평가하고자 수행되었다. 텐더 형태의 동물성 계육 제품 1종과 대체육 제품 2종을 선정하여 HPLC를 통한 아미노산 함량 및 조성측정, ICP-AES를 이용한 아연, 칼슘 등의 미량 원소 함량 측정, 아연 생체 이용률 저해 화학종인 피트산의 침전 추출 및 UV-Vis 분석을 통한 정량을 수행하고, 측정 결과를 실제 제품 섭취의 맥락에 맞추어 적용, 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 대체육 제품에서 valine, lysine 등 일부 필수 아미노산 함량이 동물성 육류 제품에 비해 부족하고, 제품을 통해 권장 섭취량을 달성하기 어려운 것으로 나타났다. 아연 생체 이용률의 경우, 칼슘에 의한 아연 생체 이용률 저해는 유의미하지 않을 것으로 분석되었으며, 같은 대체육이라 하더라도 제품 원재료의 아연 함량, 피트산 함량에 따라 낮은 단계에서부터 높은 단계까지 다양한 아연 이용률을 보였다. 따라서 아연 함량이 높고 피트산 함량이 낮은 식물성 원재료를 선정, 적절히 가공함으로 적절한 아연 생체 이용률을 달성하는 대체육 제품을 생산할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.
