Appearance and properties: White, odorless, tasteless crystals or amorphous powder.
Tricalcium phosphate (TCP) is also known as calcium phosphate. Chemical formula Ca3(PO4)2. White crystals or amorphous powder. There are many crystal transitions, mainly divided into low-temperature phase (-TCP) and high-temperature ± phase (-TCP), with a phase transition temperature of 1120-1170 and a melting point of 1670 soluble in acid, insoluble in water and ethanol. It is commonly found in human bones and is a good bone repair material.
Melting point (): 1670
Solubility: insoluble in water, insoluble in ethanol and acetic acid, soluble in acid.
Tricalcium phosphate is a safe nutritional enhancer, mainly added to food to enhance calcium intake, and can also be used to prevent or treat symptoms of calcium deficiency. At the same time, tricalcium phosphate can also be used as an anti-caking agent, pH regulator, buffer, etc. in food. For example, it can be used as an anti-caking agent (dispersant) for flour, an additive for milk powder, candy, pudding, condiments, meat, an animal oil refining aid, yeast food, etc.
Microencapsulated tricalcium phosphate, one of the sources of calcium for the human body
Microencapsulated calcium (LIPOCAL), produced by Lipofoods in Spain, is a calcium product that uses tricalcium phosphate as a raw material, is ultra-finely ground, and then wrapped with lecithin into microcapsules with a diameter of 3-5 microns.
The high absorbability of LIPOCAL is attributed to its use of lecithin for embedding. Since the molecular structure of lecithin is similar to the molecular structure of phospholipids in the cell membrane of intestinal epithelial cells, when lecithin is exchanged with the cell membrane or directly embedded, it can increase the fluidity of the intestinal epithelial cell membrane, thereby enhancing the absorbability of nutrients. When calcium is released from the microcapsules, it can easily penetrate the intestinal mucosa or intercellular space and enter the blood circulation. An experiment at the University of Barcelona in Spain showed that the bioavailability of tricalcium phosphate can be increased by 41% after microencapsulation.
In addition, as one of the daily calcium sources, tricalcium phosphate has the advantage of providing calcium and phosphorus at the same time compared to other calcium supplement products. It is very important to maintain a balance between calcium and phosphorus in the body, because these two minerals are essential for bone formation, so if the balance of the two substances cannot be achieved, it is usually difficult to achieve the ideal calcium supplement effect if calcium is simply supplemented.
