Integration of Green-Synthesized Calcium Nanoparticles in Natural Polymer Matrices by Bio-Nanocomposite Approach to Calcium Fortification
Abstract: Calcium deficiency continues to pose a widespread nutritional challenge, particularly in vulnerable populations. In this study, a bio-nanocomposite-based fortification strategy was developed using calcium nanoparticles (CaNPs) synthesized via green chemistry from Sesbania grandiflora (Agathi keerai) leaf extract. The nanoparticles, ranging between 50–150 nm in size, were characterized by SEM and embedded into buckwheat flour a naturally polymer-rich food matrix containing proteins, starch, and dietary fibers. The resulting system mimicked polymer …
