Fortified Rice in India Is a Mixture of Technology and Nutrients



It is said that rice is filled with macro and micronutrients prior to milling. At the time of rice milling process the fat and micronutrient layers are eliminated to make it commonly used starch-rich white rice. White rice is the most preferred staple food in India, second most populated country in the world. As per the survey of the world’s rice production, 45% rice is farmed and consumed in India. However, 30% calories we consume from rice and this can increase if you regularly consume it.

Although, rice is a superb food for getting micronutrients and has the power to importantly improve the shortage of micronutrient. Well, this will only get the preferred result only if the uniqueness of the end product are not noticeably vary and people don’t have problem to including fortified rice in India into their everyday life.

Moreover, using rice to get the micronutrients will work only if fortified rice is cost-effectively available to people. Unpolished rice is a great way to get vitamins B1, B6, E and others. At some stage in polishing, the best parts of these vitamins are eliminated.  

Fortification is the procedure of intentionally improving the level of micronutrients that is vitamins and minerals in a food. It not only increases the content of nutritional quality of the food, but also provides a good health to people. 

Rice is the ruling staple food consumed almost ½ the population of the world. The shortage of Micronutrient in public health is very common in India, thus rice fortification has the power to support helpless people that are not aware from the wheat or maize flour fortification plans. Though, rice production is performed locally which can make fortification programs demanding.

Fortified rice in India carries a layer of micronutrient powder that is sprayed on the surface of the normal rice grains and later vitamin & mineral mix to make a protective outside layer. Rice can also be squeezed out and formed into partly precooked grains, which can mix with natural polished rice. A practical dare is to produce fortified rice that looks natural rice and support regular food preparation.
