Fortifying wheat flour with vital micronutrients like iron, folic acid, and vitamin B-12 addresses deficiencies and enhances overall health. This cost-effective method combats nutritional anaemia and other deficiencies across all age groups. Micronutrients play critical roles in metabolic processes, cognitive development, and supporting growth in active individuals. National and international organizations advocate for daily micronutrient intake to improve overall health, implementing fortification initiatives effectively.
Fortifying wheat flour enhances public health, provides essential nutrients, and prevents deficiencies. It offsets nutrient losses during milling and aids in anaemia prevention. Fortified wheat flour per FSSAI recommendations offers one-third of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of essential vitamins and minerals. The process involves incorporating premix into wheat flour during milling, with a premix feeder ensuring precise dispensing and a blender ensuring uniform blending of micronutrients.
