I found your site when I was looking (unsuccessfully) to see if anyone has gone the other way round with the rubber chicken bone demo — treating the chicken bone with a protease (e.g. calpain, papain, trypsin) to leave the hydroxyapatite matrix. Do you know if anyone has tried this?
We are thinking of doing the rubber chicken bone and adding a calcium tablet to the vinegar to see what effect it has.
