soymilk has a healthful mix of nutrients but, compared to cows’ milk, it comes up short in the calcium department unless it is fortified. natural soy milk contains only 200 mg calcium per liter, about 1/6 that of cows’ milk. fortification can be problematic because of the tendency of the calcium to precipitate out or coagulate in the soymilk matrix. to mitigate the problem, researchers at he university of reading, whiteknights, investigated the effects of different chelating agents on some of the physicochemical properties of soymilk and their ability to prevent coagulation.
