White Bread Fortified with Calcium from Eggshell Powder

This paper presents the preparation of white bread with different hen eggshell powder additions. The aim of this paper is to resolve at least two important aspects: the waste recovery from food industry and fortification of white bread with minerals (calcium). The addition of eggshell powder to the white bread preparation was up to 2% and an increase in bread quality was on elasticity and humidity starting with 0.5% eggshell powder addition. Bread aging occurred 10 to 12 h after its baking. After 24 h, all physico-chemical properties of bread crust and crumb in the case of fortified bread with calcium had a positive effect.
