An improved calcium-enriched composition and method of supplementing food products with the composition are provided. Broadly, the compositions include respective sources of phosphate ions, citrate ions, and calcium ions, metal hydroxides, and water, with the molar ratio of citrate ions to phosphate ions in the composition being from about 1.0:1.35 to about 1.0:2.35. The compositions have high solids contents relative to prior art compositions, and at least about 70 % of the theoretically available calcium ions remain dispersed in the compositions at ambient temperatures. The compositions are in the form of a colloidal suspension having very little or no sedimentation. Finally, the compositions can be mixed with food products (e.g., cow's milk, soy milk) to substantially increase the calcium available in the product without negatively affecting the taste, color, or smell of the product.
L'invention porte sur des compositions améliorées d'enrichissement en calcium et sur un procédé de complémentation de produits alimentaires par lesdites compositions. En gros, ces compositions comportent des sources d'ions phosphate, d'ions citrate, d'ions calcium, d'hydroxydes métalliques, et d'eau, le rapport molaire ions citrate/ions phosphate étant compris entre environ 1,0:1,35 et environ 1,0:2,35. Lesdites compositions ont une forte teneur en solides par rapport aux compositions antérieures, et près d'au moins 70 % des ions calcium théoriquement disponibles y restent dispersés aux températures ambiantes. Elles se présentent sous la forme d'une suspension colloïdale peu ou pas susceptible de sédimentation. Mélangées à des produits alimentaires (tels que du lait de vache ou du lait de soja), elles en augmentent la teneur en calcium sans en altérer le goût, la couleur ou l'odeur.
