Valorization of bio-waste eggshell as a viable source of dietary calcium for confectionery products.

It is possible to reuse bio-waste eggshells as a calcium-fortifying substance for food design. The addition of powdered eggshells to food is an interesting direction, both for nutritional reasons (high concentration of calcium and optimal bioavailability) and also for environmental protection (reduction of post-production waste). © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.
