Abstract:Sucrose emerges as a chelating agent to form a stable sucrose‐metal‐ion chelate that can potentially improve metal‐ion absorption. This study aimed to analyze the structure of sucrose‐calcium chelate and its potential to promote calcium absorption in both Caco‐2 monolayer cells and mice. The characterization results showed that calcium ions mainly chelated with hydroxyl groups in sucrose to produce sucrose‐calcium chelate, altering the crystal structure of sucrose (forming polymer particles) and improving its … Show more
