  • Title: Estimation of the bioavailability of zinc and calcium from human, cow's, goat, and sheep milk by an in vitro method.

    Journal: Biol Trace Elem Res; 1995; 49(2-3):107-118. PubMed ID: 8562279.
    Abstract:
    The availability of zinc and calcium from human, cow's, goat, and sheep milk is evaluated by an in vitro method that involves a simulated human gastrointestinal digestion followed by measurement of dialyzability of zinc and calcium. Zinc availability of milk showed the highest value for human milk (15.0%) and the lowest for sheep milk (1.0%), in both whole and skim milk. Calcium availability of the different types of milk did not differ significantly and ranged between 18 and 23%. No significant differences in availability between whole and skim milk were found for both elements, except for zinc in cow's milk.
