APPLICATIONS MONOGRAPH ■ CALCIUMUSING DAIRY INGREDIENTS FOR FORTIFICATION PURPOSESA number of different ingredients areavailable from U.S. suppliers to be used byinternational manufacturers for fortificationpurposes. Studies show that consumersprefer <strong>dairy</strong> <strong>calcium</strong>-enriched <strong>products</strong> tonon-<strong>dairy</strong> <strong>calcium</strong>-enriched <strong>products</strong>because of <strong>dairy</strong>’s positive image <strong>and</strong>its health value. Market research studiesalso indicate that consumers are willingto pay more for <strong>products</strong> enriched with anatural, <strong>dairy</strong> source of <strong>calcium</strong>. The highawareness of, <strong>and</strong> preference for, <strong>dairy</strong><strong>calcium</strong>-enriched <strong>products</strong> in manycountries of the world offer uniquemarketing opportunities <strong>and</strong> sellingpoints to help manufacturers around theworld launch successful new <strong>products</strong>.MILK MINERALSMilk <strong>minerals</strong> are a natural source of <strong>calcium</strong>derived from <strong>milk</strong>. This ingredient hasthe advantage of also supplying phosphorus,magnesium, other <strong>minerals</strong>, lactose <strong>and</strong>proteins, all of which are important forabsorption of <strong>calcium</strong> <strong>and</strong> utilization by thebody. Typical applications include nutritionalsupplements, diet, sport <strong>and</strong> isotonicbeverages, nutritional bars, <strong>and</strong> nutraceutical<strong>products</strong>.Typical Compositionof Milk MineralsComponentPercentageTotal Mineral Content 79.00%• Ash 70.00%Calcium 25.00%Phosphorus 14.00%Ca/P 1.79%Ca/PO4 0.58%Magnesium 1.50%Sodium 0.65%Potassium 0.83%Zn (mg/100g) 27.40%Cu (mg/100g) 0.37%Fe (mg/100g) 1.88%• Organic Mineral (citrate) 9.00%Information courtesy of: Glanbia Foods, USA.Mineral-concentrated <strong>Whey</strong>All-natural source of <strong>calcium</strong> for fortification<strong>and</strong> functional purposesMineral-concentrated whey also functionsto improve texture, flavor, solubility, <strong>and</strong>nutritional profile in food formulations.Foods containing mineral-concentratedwhey will have a higher nutritionaldensity than comparable other <strong>products</strong>.The functions <strong>and</strong> benefits of theingredient are:• Good solubility, heat stability<strong>and</strong> cost-efficiency• Lower lactose content that helpminimize texture problems causedby lactose crystallization• High protein <strong>and</strong> <strong>minerals</strong> help providethe flavor <strong>and</strong> smooth texture desired infood <strong>products</strong>• Conveys a <strong>milk</strong>y flavor, help emulsifyadded fats, provides good stability <strong>and</strong>heat stability in sauces <strong>and</strong> gravies• A rich source of <strong>calcium</strong>, magnesium <strong>and</strong>phosphorus, which enhances nutritionalvalue <strong>and</strong> flavor profile in comminutedmeat <strong>products</strong> <strong>and</strong> saucesTYPICAL APPLICATIONSFor <strong>dairy</strong>, meat, confectionery, bakery,snack, seasonings, soups, sauces, follow-upformula, frozen desserts <strong>and</strong> nutritionaldrinks as:• A cost efficient source of <strong>dairy</strong> solids witha high mineral content• An alternative to other <strong>calcium</strong> sourceswhen lower lactose concentrations aredesired <strong>and</strong> higher mineral concentrationis required• A nutraceutical ingredient in powderedbeverages, nutritional drinks, <strong>dairy</strong><strong>products</strong>, powdered soups <strong>and</strong> desserts<strong>and</strong> baked goods.MANAGED BYDAIRY MANAGEMENT INC ṬMREFERENCESA compete listing of reference is availablefrom the U.S. Dairy Export Council(www.usdec.org), USA.MAKING NUTRITIONAL CLAIMSA nutritional claim is any statement thatindicates, suggests or implies that a foodhas special nutritional properties. Generally,three types of claims can be made: (1) aclaim about the content of <strong>calcium</strong> simplydescribing the level of a nutrient in the food(see Table on Codex Recommendations),(2) a comparative claim comparing thelevels of a <strong>calcium</strong> in two or more foods <strong>and</strong>(3) a functional claim that describes thephysiological role of <strong>calcium</strong> during growth,development <strong>and</strong> normal bodily functions.The specific types of functional claimsallowed vary from country to country. Pleasecheck local legislation for more information.Claims for Calcium,Codex RecommendationsSo, in thecase of<strong>calcium</strong>, theTo be The food followingentitled must contain thresholdto claim: at least values:“source of” 15% of 120mg ofNRV/100g Ca/100g(solids) or 60mg ofor 7.5% of Ca/100mlNRV/100ml or 40mg of(liquids) Ca/100kcalor 5% of or 120mg ofNRV/100kcal Ca/portionor 15% ofNRV/portion“high Twice the 240mg ofcontent of” “source” value Ca/100gor 120mg ofCa/100mlor 80mg ofCa/100kcalor 240mg ofCa/portionSource: Codex Alimentarius/Danone WorldNewsletter No. 19.Published by U.S. DAIRY EXPORT COUNCIL ®2101 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 400Arlington, VA 22201-3061 U.S.A.Tel: U.S.A.
