CA 2146632

The present invention relates to sweetener supplement compositions which provide a bioavailable source of calcium and are stable from calcium salt precipitation for at least about four hours at temperatures of at least about 85°F (29°C). The compositions comprise: a) from about 0.6 % to about 7 % by weight, soluble calcium; b) from about 2 % to about 47 % by weight, of an edible acid component comprising a mixture of citric acid and malic acid wherein the ratio of citric equivalents and malic equivalents to calcium equivalents is from about 1.5:1 to about 2:1 and the ratio of citric equivalents to malic equivalents is from about 3:97 to about 93:7; c) from about 5 % to about 80 %, on a dry weight basis, sugar, wherein preferably at least about 15 % of said sugar is fructose, on a dry weight basis; and d) from about 5 % to about 92 % by weight, water. The present invention also relates to methods of making said sweetener supplements, foods and beverages containing them and to methods of enhancing the solubility and bioavailability of calcium citrate malate.

L'invention concerne des compositions de compléments édulcorants, qui fournissent une source de calcium biodisponible et sont stables, obtenus à partir de la précipitation de sels de calcium pendant au moins quatre heures à des températures d'au moins 29 C. Ces compositions comprennent: a) 0,6 à 7 % en poids environ de calcium soluble; b) 2 à 47 % en poids environ d'un composant acide comestible comprenant un mélange d'acide citrique et d'acide malique où le rapport des équivalents citriques et maliques aux équivalents en calcium varie de 1,5:1 à 2:1 environ et le rapport des équivalents citriques aux équivalents maliques varie de 3:97 à 93:7 environ; c) 5 à 80 % environ de sucre, en poids sec, dont de préférence 15 % au moins de fructose en poids sec; et d) 5 à 92 % environ en poids d'eau. Cette invention concerne aussi des procédés permettant de produire ces compléments édulcorants, des produits alimentaires et boissons les comprenant, ainsi que des procédés permettant d'améliorer la solubilité et la biodisponibilité du malate de citrate de calcium.
