Calcium Fortified Soymilk Formulation Using Specialty Minerals Albafil® Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC)

A French Vanilla-flavored soymilk was formulated in the Specialty Minerals Inc. (SMI) Healthcare Laboratory, and sampled at an Institute of Food Technologists Exhibition, with extremely positive results. The comments: smooth, creamy, delicious. This soymilk uses SMI’s ViCALity Albafil® precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) as the calcium fortifier. Each eight-ounce (approximately 240 ml) serving provided 350 milligrams of elemental calcium—more than the calcium in a glass of cow’s milk.

ViCALity Albafil® is a 0.7 micron PCC, which is USP and FCC certified, and Kosher.  It has low levels of lead, less than 125 parts per billion (ppb). Where California Proposition 65 concerns require an even lower lead content, SMI suggests the ultra-low lead equivalent, CalEssence® 70 PCC.
