Abstract
Deer sinew as a by-product has high collagen and nutritional value. This study focuses on its hydrolysate being used as a calcium carrier to develop functional foods. The chelation mechanism was analyzed by SEM, EDS, UV-vis, FTIR, and fluorescence spectroscopy and zeta potential analysis after using peptide-sequenced deer sinew peptides for chelation with calcium ions. The results showed that the chelation of deer sinew peptides with calcium ions occurs mainly at the O and N atoms of carboxyl, amino and amide bonds. In vitro and in vivo studies revealed that deer sinew peptide-calcium chelate (DSPs-Ca) promoted the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells without toxic side effects and increased the alkaline phosphatase activity. The DSPs-Ca group improved the bone microstructure induced by low calcium, as well as up-regulated the expression of genes responsible for calcium uptake in the kidneys, as evidenced by serum markers, bone sections, bone parameters, and gene expression analyses in low-calcium-fed mice. From the above, it can be concluded that DSPs-Ca is expected to be a calcium supplement food for promoting bone health.

Abstract
SCOPE This paper aims to explore the osteogenic activity and potential mechanism of the peptide-calcium chelate, and provides a theoretical basis for peptide-calcium chelates as functional foods to prevent or improve osteoporosis. METHODS AND RESULTS In this research, a novel peptide (Phe-Gly-Leu, FGL) with a high calcium-binding capacity is screened from bovine bone collagen hydrolysates (CPs), calcium binding sites of which mainly included carbonyl, amino and carboxyl groups. The FGL-Ca significantly enhances the osteogenic activity of MC3T3-E1 cells (survival rate, differentiation, and mineralization). The results of calcium fluorescence labeling and molecular docking show that FGL-Ca may activate calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), leading to an increase in intracellular calcium concentration, then enhancing osteogenic activity of MC3T3-E1 cells. Further research found that FGL-Ca significantly promotes the mRNA and protein expression levels of CaSR, transforming growth factor β (TGF-β1), TGF-β-type II receptor (TβRII), Smad2, Smad3, osteocalcin (OCN), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteoprotegrin (OPG), and collagen type I (COLI). Subsequently, in the signal pathway intervention experiment, the expression levels of genes and proteins related to the TGF-β1/Smad2/3 signaling pathway that are promoted by FGL-Ca are found to decrease. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that FGL-Ca may activate CaSR, increase intracellular calcium concentration, and activate TGF-β1/Smad2/3 signaling pathway, which may be one of the potential mechanisms for enhancing osteogenic activity.

Abstract
Recently, owing to the good calcium bioavailability, peptide-calcium chelates made of various foods have been emerging. Hericium erinaceus, an edible fungus, is rich in proteins with a high proportion of calcium-binding amino acids. Thus, mushrooms serve as a good source to prepare peptide-calcium chelates. Herein, the conditions for hydrolyzing Hericium erinaceus peptides (HP) with a good calcium-binding rate (CBR) were investigated, followed by the optimization of HP-calcium chelate (HP-Ca) preparation. Furthermore, the structure of the new chelates was characterized along with the evaluation of gastrointestinal stability and calcium absorption. Papain and a hydrolysis time of 2 h were selected for preparing Hericium erinaceus peptides, and the conditions (pH 8.5, temperature 55°C, time 40 min, and mass ratio of peptide/CaCl2 4:1) were optimal to prepare HP-Ca. Under this condition, the chelates contained 6.79 ± 0.13% of calcium. The morphology and energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS) analysis showed that HP-Ca was loose and porous, with an obvious calcium element signal. The ultraviolet-visible (UV) absorption and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis indicated that calcium possibly chelates to HP via interaction with free -COO- from acidic amino acids and C = O from amide. HP-Ca displayed good stability against stimulated gastrointestinal digestion. Moreover, HP-Ca significantly improved the calcium absorption by Caco-2 epithelial cells. Thus, HP-Ca is a promising Ca supplement with high calcium bioavailability.

Abstract
A novel calcium-binding peptide from bovine bone collagen hydrolysate was screened based on a new target-the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), and its chelation mechanism and calcium absorption activity were investigated. Glu-Tyr-Gly exhibited superior binding affinities to CaSR because of its interaction with the active sites of the CaSR Venus Flytrap (VFT) domain. Glu-Tyr-Gly-Ca may exist in five potential chelation modes and its potential chelation mechanism was that calcium ions were located in the center and surrounded by ionic bonds (carboxyl group) and coordination bonds (carbonyl, amino, and carboxyl group). Glu-Tyr-Gly-Ca was slightly damaged in the intestinal fluid and at different temperatures, whereas it was severely damaged in the gastric fluid and acidic conditions. The results of the calcium dialysis percentage and Caco-2 cells experiments showed that Glu-Tyr-Gly-Ca possessed good calcium transport activity and bioavailability. The findings provided theoretical basis for Glu-Tyr-Gly-Ca as potential calcium supplement to improve intestinal calcium absorption.

Abstract
Calcium has limited bioavailability because of the formation of calcium phosphate deposits in the gastrointestinal tract. In this study, we prepared a dextran-casein phosphopeptide (CPP)-Ca2+ delivery system and evaluated for Ca2+ binding mechanism, structure, stability, and sustained release of Ca2+ and assessed inhibition of calcium phosphate precipitation. The results revealed that Ca2+ binds to dextran-CPP through the phosphate, carboxyl, and amino groups and forms crystal clusters. Furthermore, compared with single polymer CPP-Ca2+ conjugates, copolymer dextran-CPP-Ca2+ conjugates exhibited improved stability at various conditions (pH, temperature, and coexisting food), efficiently reduced the calcium phosphate precipitation, and improved sustained-release of Ca2+. Collectively, dextran-CPP-Ca2+ conjugates can be an efficient Ca2+ delivery system.

Abstract
To reduce grievous ecological environment pollution and protein resource waste during mung bean starch production, mung bean peptides-calcium chelate (MBP-Ca) was synthesized as a novel and efficient calcium supplement. Under the optimal conditions (pH = 6, temperature = 45 °C, mass ratio of mung bean peptides (MBP)/CaCl2 = 4:1, MBP concentration = 20 mg/mL, time = 60 min), the obtained MBP-Ca achieved a calcium chelating rate of 86.26%. MBP-Ca, different from MBP, was a new compound rich in glutamic acid (32.74%) and aspartic acid (15.10%). Calcium ions could bind to MBP mainly through carboxyl oxygen, carbonyl oxygen, and amino nitrogen atoms to form MBP-Ca. Calcium ions-induced intra- and intermolecular interactions caused the folding and aggregation of MBP. After the chelation reaction between calcium ions and MBP, the percentage of β-sheet in the secondary structure of MBP increased by 1.90%, the size of the peptides increased by 124.42 nm, and the dense and smooth surface structure of MBP was transformed into fragmented and coarse blocks. Under different temperatures, pH, and gastrointestinal simulated digestion conditions, MBP-Ca exhibited an increased calcium release rate compared with the conventional calcium supplement CaCl2. Overall, MBP-Ca showed promise as an alternative dietary calcium supplement with good calcium absorption and bioavailability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adequate calcium intake is necessary to prevent osteoporosis, which poses significant public health challenges. The natural bioactive peptide calcium chelates have been regarded as superior calcium supplements. Microalgae peptides are regarded as potential candidates for protection from bone loss in osteoporosis. This study aimed to prepare microalgae calcium-chelating peptides from four microalgae proteins and assess their osteogenic activities in osteoporosis-like zebrafish. RESULTS After in vitro gastrointestinal digestion, 4.42% Chlorella pyrenoidosa protein, 2.74% Nannochloropsis oceanica protein, 6.07% Arthospira platensis protein and 10.47% Dunaliella salina protein were retained. The calcium-chelating capacities of four microalgae protein hydrolysates (MPHs) ranged from 14.10 ± 7.16% to 34.11 ± 9.34%. CaCl2 addition increased the maximum absorption peaks, absorption intensities and particle sizes of MPHs. Calcium-chelating MPHs showed stronger osteogenic activities than MPHs in the osteoporosis-like zebrafish model, with significantly increased mineralized tissue area and integrated optical density. CONCLUSION Microalgae proteins have favorable digestibilities. Among the four MPHs, Nannochloropsis oceanica protein hydrolysates showed the highest calcium-chelating capacity, which might be due to its high degree of hydrolysis after in vitro digestion and high content of Ser, Tyr, Thr, Asp and Glu. The absorption intensities and particle sizes of MPHs both increased after calcium addition. MPH treatment could reverse dexamethasone-induced osteoporosis of zebrafish, and MPHs-Ca chelates showed higher osteogenic activities in osteoporosis-like phenotype zebrafish. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
