With the current study, we aimed to determine the characteristics and calcium absorption capacity of egg white peptide–calcium complex (EWP-Ca) and determine the effect of sterilization on EWP-Ca to study the possibility of EWP-Ca as a new potential calcium supplement. The results of SEM and EDS showed a high calcium chelating ability between EWP and calcium, and the structure of EWP-Ca was clustered spherical particles due its combination with calcium. The FTIR and Raman spectrum results showed that EWP could chelate with calcium by carboxyl, phosphate, and amino groups, and peptide bonds may also participate in peptide–calcium binding. Moreover, the calcium absorption of EWP-Ca measured by the intestinal everted sac model in rats was 32.38 ± 6.83 μg/mL, significantly higher than the sample with CaCl2, and the mixture of EWP and Ca (p < 0.05) revealed appropriate calcium absorption capacity. The fluorescence spectra and CD spectra showed that sterilization caused a decrease in the content of α-helix and β-sheet and a significant increase in β-turn (p < 0.05). Sterilization changed the EWP-Ca structure and decreased its stability; the calcium-binding capacity of EWP-Ca after sterilization was decreased to 41.19% (p < 0.05). Overall, these findings showed that EWP could bind with calcium, form a peptide–calcium chelate, and serve as novel carriers for calcium supplements.

To study the relationship between the hydrolysis degree and calcium-binding capacity of whey protein by enzymatic hydrolysis, the response surface method was firstly used to investigate optimized the hydrolysis conditions of whey protein with protamex and flavorzyme. The optimum process parameters for the whey protein hydrolysis were as follows: Whey protein concentration was 5.0% (w/v), the ratio of protease to whey protein was 4.0% (w/w), the mass ratios of protamex to flavorzyme (w/w) was 2:1, and the reaction temperature was 49 °C. The hydrolysate obtained after the hydrolysis of 7 h, with a hydrolysis degree of 25.92%, possessed the highest Ca-binding capacity of 27.92%. Finally, the relationship between the hydrolysis degree and calcium-binding capacity was established and whey protein hydrolysate with high calcium-binding capacity was prepared, which can provide basic theories for the following optimization of chelation of whey protein hydrolysate with calcium.

Inherited hypodysfibrinogenemia (fibrinogen Bern I) was found in four members (two generations) of a family with no haemorrhagic or thrombotic history. Fibrin aggregation curves (350 nm, 37°C) with patient plasma or purified fibrinogen Bern I, after addition of thrombin, were normal at high calcium concentrations (5mM) but delayed at lower calcium concentrations (≤0.lmM). The release of fibrinopeptide A was normal. Whereas the polypeptide chains of fibrinogen Bern I were indistinguishable from normal fibrinogen by SDS-gel-electrophoresis, an abnormal γ-chain with a decreased negative charge was found by isoelectric focussing.Plasmic degradation o| normal fibrinogen, in the presence of calcium (≥ImM), results in only one terminal D fragment which is stabilized by calcium against further degradation of γ-chains. In contrast, degradation of fibrinogen Bern I, under the same conditions, yielded at least two additional smaller D fragments. In conclusion, fibrinogen Bern I is characterized by defective calcium binding in the D domain of the γ-chain.
