The equilibria of calcium and phosphate ions with the micellar calcium phosphate in cow's milk.
Calorimetric measurements of the heat of solution of micellar Ca phosphate suggest that this material more closely resembles OH-apatite than amorphous Ca phosphate or any other crystalline form. Preliminary computer calculations of the ionic equilibria of milk salt solutions indicate that, over a wide range of pH and temperature, such solutions are supersaturated with respect to OH-apatite and to various other Ca salts under certain conditions.
