What?• Determine the Calcium Concentration in

Different Types of Milk and Compare to One Another – 2% Milk– Almond Milk– Soy Milk – Rice Milk

Page 3: Analysis of Types of Milk for Calcium Content

Importance• Most Abundant Mineral in the Body– About 1-2% of the body weight – Stored in the Bones and Teeth – Used for:• vascular contraction and vasodilation• muscle function• nerve transmission• intracellular signaling• hormonal secretion

Page 4: Analysis of Types of Milk for Calcium Content

Ways to Get Calcium • Through a well rounded diet

– Milk– Yogurt– Cheese – Broccoli – Kale– Soft Bone Fish

• Dietary Supplements– Multivitamin – Carbonate – Citrate

Recommended Daily AmountIt differs for the individual based on their age

Too Little or Too Much • Too Little

– No short term effects seen – Long term: Osteopenia, Osteoporosis, Bone Fractures– Symptoms of deficiency: numbness and tingling in the fingers,

convulsions, and abnormal heart rhythms (most extreme)

• Too Much– Causes Constipation– Lowers the absorption of iron and zinc– Risk of Kidney Stones (adults)– Current studies show that having too much calcium can also

contribute to prostate cancer and heart disease **more research being done

Upper LimitCan’t get close with just diet alone

Life Stage Upper Safe LimitBirth to 6 months 1,000 mg

Infants 7–12 months 1,500 mgChildren 1–8 years 2,500 mg

Children 9–18 years 3,000 mgAdults 19–50 years 2,500 mg

Adults 51 years and older 2,000 mgPregnant and breastfeeding teens 3,000 mgPregnant and breastfeeding adults 2,500 mg

Groups at Risk of Calcium Inadequacy

• Postmenopausal Women

• Amenorrheic Women

• Female Athlete Triad

• Lactose Intolerance

• Vegetarians

Page 9: Analysis of Types of Milk for Calcium Content

Method• Standardization of EDTA

– Dissolve 3.6 g of EDTA in 16 mL of ammonium buffer in 1000 mL volumetric flask

– Dissolve 0.5 g of Calcium carbonate in 100 mL of 0.1 M HCL

– Titrate 3 good trials

• Calcium content in milk- Mix 2-7 mL of milk solution, buffer, and indicator- Titrate 3 good trials with EDTA

Page 10: Analysis of Types of Milk for Calcium Content

Method cont.

• Spike tests- added 0.1 g of calcium carbonate to samples and titrated

with EDTA

• Frozen samples- froze 30 mL of each milk sample and titrated with EDTA

Page 11: Analysis of Types of Milk for Calcium Content

Proof of Method• We standardized a solution of EDTA

- Must be at pH of 10- The calcium in milk reacts quantitatively with EDTA and

forms a stable complex- Calmagite indicator changes color from magenta to blue at

a pH of >7.0- Indicator changes color when last of Ca2+ is

complexed by EDTA- the ammonium buffer maintains the pH to stay at 10

• We used EDTA because in experiment 6 it proved to be successful with finding concentrations of calcium carbonate in a solution

Problems That Occurred • The end point was expected to be less than 20

mL of EDTA based on the standardization– The first titration worked with Rice Milk

– The indicator wasn’t changing even after 50-60 mL of EDTA

– We tried using different indicators, but still didn’t see a

change and the end point

– Used a spike to try and figure out the problem, but still we

saw no change

Page 21: Analysis of Types of Milk for Calcium Content

Solution

• Changed the Parameters– Initially we were adding 55 mL of milk with enough ammonia buffer

to have pH 10– Realized this was too much too much calcium in the solution to

react– Changed the experiment to use 2 mL of milk plus 5 mL of buffer

**except for Rice Milk (7 mL, 10 mL)

– Titrations worked successfully

Page 22: Analysis of Types of Milk for Calcium Content

A Better Experiment?• Instead of comparing refrigerated milks to a

frozen sample, we would want to freeze a total of eight or so samples and keep each in for a longer amount of time

• This way we could have made a calibration curve of Concentration vs Time

• We could have done this, but didn’t think of it in time

Page 23: Analysis of Types of Milk for Calcium Content

In Conclusion • Almond milk is the best source of calcium

• Rice and Soy are poor sources of calcium

• The only milk seriously effected by being frozen is almond milk
