Abstract

The paper presents experimental data on obtaining biogenic calcium from eggshells with maximum separation of the inner shell membrane and fine grinding of the shell. The results of studying the biological value of eggshell powder using laboratory animals are presented. The research results showed that during processing, the mass fraction of protein in the shell decreases almost 7 times - from 15.4% to 2.3%. Vortex mills are more suitable equipment for grinding. Eggshell is an effective source of calcium for the body, does not have acute and sub-acute toxicity. The availability of calcium from eggshell powder to the body is 2.6 times higher than that from a salt diet of inorganic calcium and is 81.7–87.9%. Enrichment of diets with eggshell powder has a beneficial effect on protein, lipid and mineral metabolism, as well as on the formation of the skeleton of growing organisms. The study of the biological value showed that the inclusion of eggshell powder in the diet in the amount of 1.5% (experimental group No. 2) and 3% (experimental group No. 3) did not lead to a decrease in traditional quality characteristics. As a result, an alternative to commercial proposals based on inorganic Ca salts for functional nutrition, cosmetics, biochemical and pharmaceutical production was found.
