Advancing Nutrition and Health Through Innovation
Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) have a profound impact on our daily diets and overall lifestyle. As essential components of the global food supply chain, these products present a unique opportunity to improve nutrient intake at scale. At Hexagon Nutrition, we are driving innovation in FMCG fortification, ensuring that essential vitamins and minerals are seamlessly incorporated into everyday food and beverage products. Through our customized micronutrient premixes, we are helping bridge the nutrition gap, making fortified foods accessible to diverse populations.
Staple Premix
Food Research Lab creates bespoke staple premixes enriched with vital micronutrients to address specific dietary deficiencies and support population-wide health initiatives. These scientifically developed blends aim to fortify essential staples like wheat, rice, and maize flour with vitamins and minerals, closing critical nutrient gaps in everyday diets.
Fortified Rice Kernels
FRL utilizes advanced warm extrusion technology to produce fortified rice kernels that maintain superior micronutrient stability and extended shelf life under varied storage conditions. By incorporating white ferric pyrophosphate as an iron source, our FRK solutions ensure minimal color change, enhancing consumer acceptance. Analytical testing validates the efficacy of our fortified kernels even after cooking, making them a reliable choice for global fortification programs.
At FRL, we advance the functionality of flours through enzyme and micronutrient fortification. Our tailored enzyme solutions improve dough elasticity, shelf life, and nutritional profiles in products for bakery, beverage, and dairy industries. By customizing these blends, FRL not only ensures better product performance but also addresses health-specific needs such as weight management, functional foods, and clean-label formulations. These solutions are developed using robust testing methods, aligning with industry trends and consumer expectations.
FRL leverages its R&D capabilities to deliver premium animal nutrition solutions, including feed premixes fortified with essential vitamins, trace minerals, and amino acids. Our formulations are tailored for various species, including poultry, livestock, pets, and aquaculture. These solutions enhance overall health, immunity, and productivity while ensuring sustainability in farming practices. FRL’s expertise extends to optimizing feed formulations to meet global quality standards, ensuring both safe and nutritious animal diets.
FRL empowers FMCG companies with innovative solutions to develop fortified products that meet modern nutritional demands. By incorporating our state-of-the-art micronutrient premixes, we enable brands to offer functional products such as fortified snacks, beverages, and dairy items. FRL’s solutions are scalable, cost-effective, and designed to meet regulatory standards while maintaining the sensory qualities that consumers expect. Our goal is to help FMCG companies create products that drive health and wellness while catering to global market needs.
Wheat, being one of the most widely consumed cereal grains globally, is utilized in various food forms such as bread, biscuits, pasta, cakes, wafers, and extruded products like noodles. At FRL, we focus on fortifying wheat flour to address hidden hunger by enhancing its micronutrient profile. This process not only fulfills caloric requirements but also ensures improved nutritional outcomes for the population.
Maize, owing to its global milling centralization and ease of fortification, is an ideal candidate for nutritional intervention. FRL specializes in fortifying maize flour with essential micronutrients while ensuring optimal stability under room temperature storage. This ensures that fortified maize flour remains effective in combating micronutrient deficiencies in diverse regions.
Milk, often regarded as nature’s most complete food, provides essential nutrients like fat-soluble vitamins and calcium. However, high-temperature processing can lead to significant nutrient losses. At FRL, we address this challenge by fortifying milk and milk powders with vitamins A and D. Our fortified dairy solutions are available in both liquid and powder forms to meet diverse consumer needs and improve overall dietary quality.
FRL pioneers in fortifying edible oils to combat widespread micronutrient deficiencies. Our formulations incorporate essential micronutrients, thereby enhancing the nutritional value of oils like soybean, palm olein, groundnut, cottonseed, and mustard. These fortified oils are critical for addressing dietary gaps in essential vitamins and minerals.
