Calcium content, in vitro digestibility, and bioaccessibility in leaves of spinach (Spinacia oleracea), sweet potato (Ipomea batatas), and drumstick tree (Moringa oleifera)

Abstract: Discuss this article AbstractLow calcium intake, poor calcium absorption, excessive calcium losses, or some combination of these factors contribute to calcium deficiency diseases.

“…The calcium concentration in nopal cladodes, for example, ranges from 220 to 320 mg/100 mg, which significantly outweighs that in oranges (40 mg/100 mg), apples (6 mg/100 mg), and bananas (5 mg/100 mg) [ 43 ]. Additionally, the calcium content in nopal cladodes (220–320 mg/100 mg) significantly surpasses common vegetables such as spinach (99 mg/100 g) and grains such as rice (28 mg/100 g) [ 44 ]. This showcases the potential role of cacti as an abundant source of this vital mineral, contributing to bone health and muscle function.…”

“…The majority of calcium is deposited in teeth and bones. Approximately 1% is bound in soft tissues and ionised calcium facilitates its transmission across tissue components (Allen et al ., 2014). Calcium has a vast variety of metabolisms in the body, from intracellular signalling and membrane integrity to muscular contraction and neural transmission (Kopic & Geibel, 2013).…”

“…But selecting plant sources to be incorporated in dairy products is extremely challenging, as it is difficult to get all necessary nutrients "effectively" by them. Phytochemicals like phytates, oxalates, tannins and other anti-nutritional factors in plant materials reduce the bioavailability of minerals (Allen et al, 2014). Besides, milk is already considered a good Ca source by the public, and to fortify it further with Ca; have to find extremely rich plant oriented Ca sources with better bioavailability and easy extraction processes.…”

“…Phyllanthus emblica fruit has a high ascorbic content which 45-70% of it contributes towards its antioxidant activity (Raghu et al, 2007). Also, it is important to know about the phytochemistry as these complex agents interfere in both mineral bioavailability (Allen et al, 2014) and shelf life of dairy products (Peixoto et al, 2011). Many attempts have been made and researches are carried out to use plant sources like Moringa oleifera to improve the health of consumers (El-Gammal et al, 2017).…”
