Rice fortification is a proven technique to address the prevalence of micronutrient malnutrition, i.e. ‘Hidden Hunger’. This book Rice Fortification: Technology, Machinery and Quality Assurance aims to provide comprehensive technical literature on the production of fortified rice (FR) with emphasis on the raw ingredients, technology, equipment, micronutrient analysis, quality assurance and control (QA/QC), and government programs and policies for successful implementation.

Key features of the book include

(i) Discussion on the importance of raw ingredients, i.e. broken rice, vitamins and mineral premix for the formulation of fortified rice kernels (FRK), followed by the detailed description of each process operation, such as grinding, mixing, extrusion, drying and polishing;

(ii) Manufacture of FR, packaging, storage and shelf-life evaluation of FRK and FR, along with the required plant and machinery to produce FRK and FR; QA/QC insights and the micronutrient analysis, consumer acceptance, GMP/GHP and HACCP protocols, as well as Indian standards; and

(iii) Efficacy and safety of FR.

Written and edited by a team of experts who have worked on rice fortification, this book will be of interest to industry professionals and academicians as well as to undergraduate students and postgraduate researchers. This will also guide through troubleshooting tips to support continued learning and professional development.
