It is eaten whole and commonly consumed in Japan. In this study, we examined the e#ect of Sudachi (Citrus sudachi Hort. ex. Shirai) juice on calcium, magnesium and phosphorus bioavailability in healthy young men. Dried shirasuboshi powder treated with distilled water (C) or sudachi juice (S,*) was prepared for use in two experimental diets, the control diet and the sudachi diet. Either S,* or C was added to a basal diet with a low calcium content (+2* mg/d). The basal diet and the two experimental diets were each consumed for 0 d by six healthy young men according to a randomized and crossover design. The apparent absorp- tion and retention of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus from shirasuboshi were determined and were found to be significantly higher in the sudachi diet than in the control diet. The apparent absorption and retention of calcium from the basal diet were found to be in negative balance. Our results indicate that shirasuboshi added to sudachi juice was associated with increased mineral bioavailability in healthy young men.

  • Calcium Supplements | Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
    PATIENT & CAREGIVER EDUCATION Calcium Supplements This information explains calcium supplements and how to take them. Calcium is a mineral that you need to build and maintain healthy bones. If you don’t get enough calcium from your diet, your body will take it from your bones. This can cause osteoporosis. Osteoporosis Osteoporosis develops when you lose bone tissue, which makes your bones more likely to fracture (break). Osteoporosis is most common in females who have gone through menopause (a permanent end of your monthly periods). It can develop in anyone, including males, due to medication or illness. Some risk factors for osteoporosis include: Having a thin build Being of Northern European or Asian descent Having fair skin Going through menopause early (before the age of 45) Taking certain steroid medications for longer than 3 months Calcium Supplements 1/9 Not getting enough physical activity Not getting enough calcium in your diet (or from dietary supplements) Smoking Drinking too much alcohol (more than 2 drinks per day for females or 3 drinks per day for males) Taking aromatase inhibitors (medications that stop the production of estrogen and are used to treat breast cancer) Vitamin D Vitamin D is a vitamin that helps your body absorb calcium. Your body makes vitamin D after being exposed to the sun. Vitamin D is also found in some foods. It can be hard to get enough vitamin D from just sunlight and foods. Your doctor or clinical dietitian nutritionist might tell you to take vitamin D supplements. These can be prescription or over-the-counter vitamin D supplement pills or calcium supplements with vitamin D added.

  • Improvement of Subtropical Fruit Crops: Citrus
    IMPROVEMENT OF SUBTROPICAL FRUIT CROPS: CITRUS HAMILTON P. ÏRAUB, Senior Iloriiciilturist T. RALPH ROBCNSON, Senior Physiolo- gist Division of Frnil and Vegetable Crops and Diseases, Bureau of Plant Tndusiry MORE than half of the 13 fruit crops known to have been cultivated longer than 4,000 years,according to the researches of DeCandolle (7)\ are tropical and subtropical fruits—mango, oliv^e, fig, date, banana, jujube, and pomegranate. The citrus fruits as a group, the lychee, and the persimmon have been cultivated for thousands of years in the Orient; the avocado and papaya were important food crops in the American Tropics and subtropics long before the discovery of the New World. Other types, such as the pineapple, granadilla, cherimoya, jaboticaba, etc., are of more recent introduction, and some of these have not received the attention of the plant breeder to any appreciable extent. Through the centuries preceding recorded history and up to recent times, progress in the improvement of most subtropical fruits was accomplished by the trial-error method, which is crude and usually expensive if measured by modern standards. With the general accept- ance of the Mendelian principles of heredity—unit characters, domi- nance, and segregation—early in the twentieth century a starting point was provided for the development of a truly modern science of genetics. In this article it is the purpose to consider how subtropical citrus fruit crops have been improved, are now being improved, or are likel3^ to be improved by scientific breeding. Each of the more important crops will be considered more or less in detail.
