Premix for Fortified Rice Kernels (FRK)
Premix for Fortified Rice Kernels is a concentrated blend of essential micronutrients—typically including iron (such as ferric pyrophosphate), folic acid, vitamin B12, zinc, and other vitamins and minerals—formulated in precise proportions and mixed with carriers like rice flour or starch; this premix is extruded into kernels resembling natural rice grains, which are then blended with regular rice to deliver nutritional fortification at the point of consumption, thereby addressing widespread deficiencies such as anemia and malnutrition without altering the taste, texture, or cooking properties of rice.
Applications of Premix for Fortified Rice Kernels (FRK)
• Used in the production of Fortified Rice Kernels through extrusion or coating technology.
• Enriched with essential micronutrients such as Iron, Folic Acid, Vitamin B12, and Zinc.
• Helps combat malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies in large-scale food programs.
• Ideal for use in government food fortification schemes, public distribution systems, and nutrition-based CSR initiatives.
• Can be blended with regular rice to produce fortified rice for human consumption.
Advantages of Premix for Fortified Rice Kernels (FRK)
• Ensures uniform micronutrient distribution in rice kernels.
• Heat-stable and moisture-resistant formulation for long shelf life.
• Retains nutritional value even after washing and cooking.
• Complies with FSSAI and international food fortification standards.
