Megalobrama Amblycephala is an important fishery resource. The processing of Megalobrama Amblycephala often generates many underutilized leftovers including bone which contents abundant active calcium. This study investigated the optimization for extraction conditions of active calcium from Megalobrama Amblycephala bone. The active calcium was extracted from Megalobrama Amblycephala bone using citric acid and malic acid. The response surface methodology was applied to optimize the extraction technology parameters including extraction temperature, extraction time and ratio of citric acid and malic acid. Results showed that, the optimal conditions of extracting active calcium from Megalobrama Amblycephala bone were as follows: extraction temperature, 113 °C, extraction time, 0.8 h, ratio of citric acid and malic acid, 2: 1. Under these conditions, the yield of active calcium was 90.11%. This study has provided a reference for efficiently obtaining of active calcium and utilization of Megalobrama Amblycephala bone resource.
