Thanks to many-year painstaking efforts, a study team, headed by Prof. LIU Anjun of Tianjin University of Science and Technology, has developed a comprehensive approach to utilize animal bones. The study has resulted in four key technologies: vacuum ionization technology for extracting mineral elements from bones, ionization, electroanalysis, and activation technology for collecting organic elements, condensing and recovery technology for active organic elements, and natural collagen recycling and extracting technology. Combined use of these technologies can turn hard bones into dissoluble bone composites, allowing organic and inorganic bone elements to be disassociated, dissoluble, and absorbed. The process can also allow bones to keep the physiological activity of proteins, mucopolysaccharide, and other organic elements. The study team, using these technologies, rolled out additives for high-calcium meat products.

Researchers explain that the products contain absorbable minerals and special proteins needed by bone generating and associated metabolism, desirable nutritional supplements for bones. The products can regulate bone metabolism through in vivo bone growth stimulating factors. They nurture and stimulate bone growth with inorganic elements, including calcium, phosphor, bone cells, bone collagen, and a dozen other organic nutrients. The products are desirable for preventing and treating bone metabolism related diseases, such as elders?¯ osteoporosis and enfant developmental deficiency.
