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 and machinery, micronutrient analysis, quality assurance and control (QA/QC), and government programs and policies for successful implementation.Key features of the book include:Discussion on the importance of raw ingredients, i.e. broken rice, vitamins and mineral premix (VMP) for the manufacturing of fortified rice kernels (FRK), including the detailed description of each process operation, such as grinding, mixing, extrusion, drying, and polishingProduction 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 standardsEfficacy and safety of FRThis book, written and edited by a team of experts who have worked on rice fortification technology, will be of immense help to industry professionals and academicians as well as undergraduate students and postgraduate researchers. This book will also guide through troubleshooting tips to support continued learning, professional development, and production of FR.
