  calcium - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about calcium   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Calcium is an essential component of bones, teeth, shells, milk, and leaves, and it forms 1.5% of the human body by mass.
Calcium ions in animal cells are involved in regulating muscle contraction, blood clotting, hormone secretion, digestion, and glycogen metabolism in the liver.
It is acquired mainly from milk and cheese, and its uptake is facilitated by vitamin D. Calcium deficiency leads to chronic muscle spasms (tetany); an excess of calcium may lead to the formation of stones (calculi) in the kidney or gall bladder.

The calcium carbonate in the shell when ground allows all the calcium carbonate to be neutralised by any acid caused by oxidation of the soil.
When sulphuric acid reacts with aquatic shells (calcium carbonate) in the ground it forms an insoluble layer of calcium sulphate on the surface and any further reaction is retarded if not stopped.
In Australia, the acid sulphate soils of most concern are those which formed within the past 10,000 years, after the last major sea level rise.

 Calcium sulphate used to fight listeria
21/02/2003 - An acidified calcium sulphate solution called Safe2O has been shown to significantly reduce the amount of Listeria monocytogenes on hot dogs and prevented regrowth of the pathogen over a 12-week period, according to a Texas A&M study funded by AMI Foundation.
An hour after being treated with the Listeria monocytogenes mixtures, the frankfurters were submerged for 30 seconds in dips containing saline solution (control); acidified calcium sulphate (Safe2O); 3.3 per cent potassium lactate; or 3.4 per cent lactic acid.
The frankfurters were then vacuum packaged, stored under refrigeration (4.4 degrees C) and evaluated at two-week intervals over a 12-week period.
