This study explores the development of cereal bars fortified with Asian sea bass bone bio-calcium powder at three levels to enhance nutritional value and repurpose fishery by-products.
Bio-calcium powders were extracted from Asian sea bass bone by heat-treated alkaline with fat removal and bleaching supplementary method. Cereal bars (CBs) were fortified with produced bio-calcium at 3 levels:
- Increased calcium (IS-Ca): calcium ≥10% Thai RDI
- Good source of calcium (GS-Ca): calcium ≥15% Thai RDI
- High calcium (H-Ca): calcium ≥30% Thai RDI
Fortifying with bio-calcium resulted in harder texture CBs. An increase in fortified bio-calcium amounts decreased carbohydrate and fat but increased protein, ash, and calcium content. In conclusion, the production of cereal bars fortified with Asian sea bass bone bio-calcium powder is feasible. Further studies are recommended to analyze calcium bioavailability, sensory acceptance, and shelf life, as well as to check for any remaining hazardous reagents.
Objective
To study the effect of bio-calcium powder from Asian sea bass bone on the characteristics and nutrition values of cereal bars.
