Abstract
Cuttlebone, an underutilized byproduct of cuttlefish, remains largely unexplored regarding its properties. This study investigates the characteristics and in vitro coagulation properties of structured calcium compounds derived from cuttlebone. Dried cuttlebone powder (DCB) was calcined to form calcined cuttlebone powder (CCB). Both were processed into structured calcium hydroxide, lactate, and citrate-malate compounds (DCB-OH, CCB-OH, DCB-Lac, CCB-Lac, DCB-CiMa, and CCB-CiMa, respectively). Among all samples, CCB exhibited the highest ash content (99.11 %), with calcium as the predominant mineral component. XRD and FT-IR analyses confirmed a phase transition from aragonite (CaCO₃) in DCB to calcium oxide (CaO) in CCB. DCB-CiMa and CCB-CiMa exhibited spherical shapes with smoother surfaces compared to the others. Lactate and citrate-malate compounds had greater water solubility. The different forms and concentrations of calcium compounds exhibited distinct effects in in vitro coagulation assay (APTT, PT, and TT tests). These findings suggest cuttlebone-derived calcium's potential in food fortification.
期刊介绍:
Food Chemistry: X, one of three Open Access companion journals to Food Chemistry, follows the same aims, scope, and peer-review process. It focuses on papers advancing food and biochemistry or analytical methods, prioritizing research novelty. Manuscript evaluation considers novelty, scientific rigor, field advancement, and reader interest. Excluded are studies on food molecular sciences or disease cure/prevention. Topics include food component chemistry, bioactives, processing effects, additives, contaminants, and analytical methods. The journal welcome Analytical Papers addressing food microbiology, sensory aspects, and more, emphasizing new methods with robust validation and applicability to diverse foods or regions.
