Results relating to the total and bioaccessible fractions and
bioaccessibility of Ca in the 9 different milk-based fruit beverages
studied are shown in Table 1. Concerning total Ca content, the
approximate amounts expected according to food composition and
nutrition tables (Souci, Fachmann & Kraut, 2000), and taking into
account the proportions of the different ingredients used in the
manufacture of samples (see Materials and methods), are 246.45 μg/g,
251.40 μg/g and 53.4 μg/g for non-treated JW, JS and JSy, respectively.
As can be observed, values determined in the present study for JW-NT
(235.53 μg/g), JS-NT (227.86 μg/g) and JSy-NT (77.88 μg/g) are very
similar and closely match those expected.
