Abstract: A process for preparing fish bone powder according to this invention generally comprising at least 4 steps: pre-heating, removing of impurity, drying and milling to derive a calcium-rich bone powder product that contains calcium in the range of 18-22 g/100 g of the fmal product. In addition, the bone powder particle size obtained is less than 100 microns and contains high levels of protein, fat, and essential minerals, such as sodium and phosphorus. The source of bone can be obtained from any fishes, preferably from tuna.

Abstract: A calcium enriched seafood product according to this invention, which includes, but not limited to, a shelf stable, chilled and frozen tuna or salmon products or other similar shelf stable, can provide a considerable bone health benefit to consumers by providing as much as 412 mg/100 g of available calcium in the finished product. This disclosure comprising the additional calcium supplement wherein the amount of calcium in final product is in the range of 0.5 to 5.0% (w/w) of the total weight of said product and wherein the sources of additional calcium supplement can be selected from raw or partially purified animal or fish bone or partially purified fish bone or inorganic calcium compound.
