The invention discloses an application of a
calcium-reinforced layered
network structure emulsion in preparation of a product for promoting
calcium absorption and enhancing
bone mineral density, and aims to solve the technical bottlenecks of low
absorption rate and insufficient
bone targeting of a traditional
calcium supplement. According to the
emulsion, the insoluble calcium salt is uniformly dispersed in an
oil phase by utilizing the
density difference between the insoluble calcium salt and the
oil phase, and is embedded into a layered
network structure formed by
proteoglycan. Hydrophobic molecules or hydrophobic chain segments spontaneously gather to form a hydrophobic region, and
free diffusion of water molecules and water-soluble ions is effectively prevented, so that solubilization and stable dispersion of insoluble calcium salt are realized. The obtained
emulsion has good
processing stability and tolerance, the
absorption rate of calcium is remarkably improved, and the
bone mineral density is favorably enhanced. The
system can be used as a calcium fortifying preparation to realize on-line addition, the process is simple and convenient, the
system is suitable for various foods such as dairy products, biscuits,
ice cream and
plant milk, and preparation and application of high-calcium nutritious foods are realized.
