Summary

Calcium and phosphate concentrations in milk ultrafiltrate prepared at 37 °C over the pH range 4.0–8.0 have been measured and used to calculate the apparent solubility products for various calcium phosphates in milk. Micellar calcium phosphate had a constant Ca/Pi = 1·58·10·03 at all pH values and a near-invariant ion activity product for CaHP04. Apparent solubility products have also been obtained for brushite, hydroxyapatite and amorphous tricalcium phosphate in milk salt solution over a similar pH range. No evidence was found for a hydroxyapatite or amorphous tricalcium phosphate phase in milk.
