Home Fortifiaction And Miconutrient Powders
Specialize in developing scientifically formulated Products
At Food Research Lab, we specialize in developing scientifically formulated Home Fortification products, such as Micronutrient Powders (MNPs), to address the global burden of vitamin and mineral deficiencies. These innovative products are designed to improve the nutritional status of vulnerable populations, including children, pregnant women, and at-risk communities. Our expertise ensures that these products are not only effective but also easy to use, culturally appropriate, and scalable.
FRL’s Approach to Home Fortification
1. Customized Formulation Development
- Precise Nutrient Composition: FRL develops MNP formulations tailored to specific health goals, such as combating anemia, improving cognitive development, or supporting immune health.
- Key Ingredients: Our formulations include fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), water-soluble vitamins (B-complex, C), and essential minerals like iron, zinc, iodine, selenium, and copper.
- Cultural Adaptation: The MNPs are designed to integrate seamlessly with staple diets, ensuring high acceptability across different regions.
2. Innovative Product Design
- Ease of Use: MNPs are provided in 1-gram sachets, allowing users to sprinkle them on home-cooked or school-prepared meals without altering the taste, texture, or appearance of the food.
- Stability and Compatibility: The powders are formulated to prevent interactions with food components and maintain their nutritional efficacy during storage and use.
3. Regulatory and Safety Compliance
- Global Standards: FRL ensures that all MNPs comply with WHO, UNICEF, and Codex Alimentarius guidelines for fortification.
- Rigorous Testing: Each batch undergoes stringent quality checks to ensure safety, stability, and nutrient bioavailability.
4. Regulatory Compliance
- Addressing Anemia: MNP formulations enriched with iron, folic acid, and vitamin C are tailored to combat iron-deficiency anemia in children and women.
- Improving Maternal Health: Fortified powders for pregnant women include nutrients critical for fetal development, such as folic acid, vitamin A, and iodine.
- Enhancing Cognitive Development: Powders with zinc, B-vitamins, and DHA support mental and physical growth in preschoolers and school-aged children.
5. Sustainability and Scalability
