Biotechnologically-modified Carrots: Calcium Absorption Relative to Milk

The effect of casein phosphopeptides on calcium absorption from calcium-fortified milk in growing rats.

The effect of casein phosphopeptides (CPP) prepared from bovine casein by enzymatic hydrolysis (extrinsic CPP) on Ca absorption from Ca-fortified milk was studied in young male rats, in comparison with that produced from casein in the small intestine (intrinsic CPP). The gastrointestinal Ca disappearance (Ca ingested - (gastric Ca + intestinal Ca )) was calculated as an indirect measurement of ...

Calcium and fat absorption by low birthweight infants from a calcium-supplemented milk formula.

Barltrop, D., and Oppe, T. E. (1973). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 48, 580. Calcium and fat absorption by low birthweight infants from a calciumsupplemented milk formula. The retention of calcium and fat by low birthweight infants from two milks differing only in their calcium content has been determined. Calcium supplementation of the milk formula resulted in enhanced retentions of calciu...

Fermentation of calcium-fortified soya milk does not appear to enhance acute calcium absorption in osteopenic post-menopausal women.

Ageing women may choose to drink soya milk to reduce menopausal symptoms. As fermentation enriches soya milk with isoflavone aglycones, its beneficial qualities may improve. To reduce osteoporotic risk, however, soya milk must be Ca enriched, and it is not known how fermentation affects Ca bioavailability. A randomised crossover pilot study was undertaken to compare the Ca absorption of fortifi...
