Abstract: Running title: Bivalve shell-a functional and versatile biomaterialBivalve shells, available in abundance, have no eminent use and are commonly regarded as waste.Their improper disposal causes a significant level of environmental concern and also results in a waste of natural resources. Bivalve shell is formed by biomineralization and consists mainly of CaCO 3 with a small amount of organic matrix, giving it a potential for use as raw material.Recycling shell waste could potentially eliminate the disposal prob… Show more

“…Although calcium enriched food can potentially help consumers to achieve required calcium intake, it is necessary to evaluate the adsorption of Ca derived from different sources (such as sea shell and fish bone) in comparison with available commercial products for human consumption [67]. Shells contain about 5% organic materials, which need to be considered when shell extracts are planned to be used as a food supplement [68]. The elemental concentration of black oyster (Pinctada margaritifera) shell was evaluated by Chang Downloaded by [University of California Santa Barbara] at 06: 53 25 June 2016 et al, and they reported that the measured concentrations are lower that the safety limit recommended for human consumption [69].…”
