Development of Calcium Supplements Inspired by Fertilized Egg Hatching: Calcium‐Binding Peptides and Peptide‐Calcium Chelate Derived From Egg Yolk Protein

. In terms of composition, binding capacity, and stability, EYP showed comprehensive potential as a calcium supplement, proposing a novel strategy for the development of novel dietary calcium supplements. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Inspired by the efficient utilization of calcium during the incubation of chick embryos, this work investigated the content changes of calcium during incubation, identified egg yolk as an important site for calcium transport, and prepared yolk peptide-calcium from egg yolk, contributing a new angle for the development of dietary calcium supplements.
