AN OVERVIEW OF IMPORTANCE OF ENRICHMENT IN FOOD PROCESSING

32 PAGES (3302 WORDS) Agricultural Science Seminar
ABSTRACT
This seminar looked at the benefits of food enrichment in food processing. Various enrichment items like vitamin A, Iron and Iodine were discussed. These will help add to the nutrients, which were absent or removed during food processing. This work also looked at the fortifying agents in salt (iodine and iron) milk and margarine (vitamin A and D), diet beverages (vitamins and minerals) among others. Food enrichment helps to treat or help prevent nutritional deficiencies and hence promote the general well being of the generality of the population.
