2. Description of the Related Art Calcium is one of the very important elements for the human body involved in the formation of skeleton and teeth, maintenance of cell vitality, sensitivity to nerve stimulation, muscular contraction, blood coagulation and the like. In particular, in recent years, it has been pointed out that calcium intake is insufficient, such as osteoporosis caused by calcium deficiency. In order to solve this shortage of calcium intake, calcium-enriched foods are being sold, and even milk, which is generally said to have a high calcium content, is further enriched with calcium by adding calcium. Attempts have been made to provide it as milk.

However, the above-mentioned conventional calcium carbonate for food is dried and shipped in a powdered state. Therefore, when it is used for a liquid such as milk or juice, it is again suspended. It needs to be cloudy. However, calcium in the form of a water-insoluble inorganic salt, such as calcium carbonate, has a problem in that when dried to form a powder, coarse aggregated particles are likely to be generated even when dispersed in water at the time of use. For this reason, special fine dispersion equipment such as a stirrer, a classifier, and a crusher was required. Further, even if the powdered calcium carbonate was added to a liquid such as milk at a high concentration, it could not be easily suspended.

According to the configuration of the present invention described above, the average particle size of the primary particles is in the range of 0.01 to 0.5 μm,
And the average particle diameter of the secondary particles as the aggregate is 0.1 to
5-20% by weight of calcium carbonate particles in the range of 50 μm
By dispersing 0.1 to 5% by weight of an emulsifier in water, the dispersion state can be favorably maintained, and a calcium carbonate emulsion for food which is easy to produce and easy to use can be obtained. . In the present invention, the reason why the amount of calcium carbonate is set to 5 to 20% by weight is that if the amount is less than 5% by weight, the amount of calcium carbonate added to the food cannot be increased. This is because calcium carbonate cannot be stably dispersed for a period. The reason why the amount of the emulsifier is 0.1 to 5% by weight is that if the amount is too large, the taste becomes worse and the emulsifier becomes wasted. If the amount is less than this, calcium carbonate is stably suspended for a long period of time. Because you can no longer do it. Further, the average particle size of the primary particles is from 0.01 to 0.1.
When calcium carbonate is in the range of 5 μm and the average particle size of the secondary particles as an aggregate thereof is in the range of 0.1 to 50 μm, good storage stability can be maintained in an aqueous dispersion state.

The present invention will be described below based on examples and comparative examples. (Example 1) Raw calcium carbonate was calcined to produce quicklime. The carbon dioxide gas generated at this time was recovered and used for compounding calcium carbonate and the like. Water was added to quicklime to digest it to produce slaked lime and to produce milk of lime in which calcium hydroxide was suspended in water. Next, carbon dioxide was blown into the lime milk to cause a carbonation reaction to obtain a slurry in which calcium carbonate was suspended in water. Next, the concentration of calcium carbonate in the slurry was adjusted to 10 to 15% by weight, and the PH was adjusted to 11 to 11.5. The average particle size of the primary particles of calcium carbonate in this slurry was 0.01 to 0.5 μm as measured by electron micrograph observation. The calcium carbonate was suspended in water, and the slurry was aged by holding the slurry in a tank. The aging conditions were 65 ° C. and 24 hours. As a result, stable particles that hardly cause aggregation were generated.

This emulsion was packed in a 20-liter polyethylene (PE) container and stored, and the state of the precipitation of calcium carbonate was observed. As a result, no precipitate was observed even after one week had passed, but after two weeks, some had slightly precipitated at the bottom of the container.

As described above, according to the calcium carbonate emulsion for food of the present invention, the average particle size of the primary particles is in the range of 0.01 to 0.5 μm and the secondary 5 to 20% by weight of calcium carbonate particles having an average particle diameter of 0.1 to 50 μm;
By dispersing 5% by weight of an emulsifier in water,
It is possible to provide a food-grade calcium carbonate emulsion which can maintain a good dispersion state, is easy to produce, and is easy to use. That is, it is stable and hard to aggregate, can be stored in a liquid state, and can be added to food as it is, so that it is easy to use. Further, the method of the present invention can efficiently and rationally produce a calcium carbonate emulsion for food.
