Technology for the Production of Nutrient Premix for Rice Fortification

An appropriate technology for the large scale production of nutrient premix especially for rice fortification with active ingredients (iron, folic acid and vitamin B₁₂). Developed technology improved the protection and retention of nutrient during processing, production and storage of fortified rice kernels (FRK).

Retention and bioavailability of the nutrients present in the premix during processing and storage of FRK is a major concern. Our specialized nutrient premix, designed for rice fortification, offers enhanced retention and protection of essential nutrients. This technology ensures optimum nutrient levels in fortified rice, addressing widespread malnutrition effectively as per the government regulations. With improved stability and bioavailability, our premix enhances the nutritional quality of fortified rice, promoting better health for malnourished population and promotes sustainable development.

It is a scalable and effective technology for large-scale production of nutrient premix especially for rice fortification with enhanced nutrient protection and bioavailability. It further strengthens the fortification strategies to address the challenges in the production of fortified food products as well as health issues globally.
