Table II.

Calcium Influence at 0, 1.4, 5, and 10 mM on the Extent of Digestion and Its Influence on Un-ionized–Ionized FA Ratios. The Un-ionized–Ionized FFA Ratio Is Calculated by Dividing FFAs Detected at pH 9 with the Sum of FFAs at pH 6.5 and pH 9. The Extent of Digestion Is Based on Calculations from Williams et al. for the Total Amount of FAs Available for Digestion in the LBFs (21)
