The present invention relates to soybean phosphopeptide calcium and method for
producing thereof, wherein the soybean phosphopeptide calcium is produced by calcium-binding
reaction of soybean phosphopeptides which are obtained from hydrolysis with hydrolase
followed by chemical phosphorlyation of soybean protein using polyphosphate salts
or inversely from the procedure of chemical phosphorlyation before hydrolysis with
hydrolases. The optimum conditions for the sequential reactions of enzymatic hydrolysis,
phosphorylation and calcium binding were established.
The soybean phosphopeptide calcium has a high solubility in water and an efficient
absorption rate of calcium in a living body.
