Staple Food Fortification
Targeted Incorporation of Micronutrients
The fortification of staple foods enables a significant contribution to daily nutrient intake. Essential vitamins and minerals can be specifically integrated into widely consumed foods.
Add vitamins to flour, rice and oils
Products such as flour, or edible oils are particularly suitable for large-scale nutrient fortification. Key success factors include process stability, homogeneous distribution, and compliance with regulatory requirements. Tailored nutrient solutions help address dietary deficiencies without altering familiar product characteristics. This results in staple foods with societal relevance and sustainable value for manufacturers and consumers alike.
