The process of enriching food

 The process of enriching food

Preparing or arrangement of food, whether on a homegrown scale or on a business scale, will undoubtedly lose a portion of the supplements. Therefore, according to some dieticians, certain foods must be enriched. Technically there is a slight difference between the two reforms but we will use it richly for both here.

Even in developed countries, not only common foods are enriched but also new foods that are coming into the market are being taken care of to be nutritional standard. This is particularly significant in the eating regimens of youngsters, the older, and the debilitated. For nearly a decade in the United States, the Food and Drug Administration has been forcing the food industry to legally compile information on rich foods to determine what percentage of a person's share of the proposed food revenue. 

Food Labeling

For example, food labeling shows that 30 grams of rich grains yield 0.5 grams of B vitamins. The average food requirement of a normal person is 1.2 grams of life.

Here are some of the foods that are enriched with vitamins and minerals.

Wheat Flour and Bread Corn Flour and Oatmeal Macaroni Items Rice Farnia, Semolina Different Types of Starchy Cereal Fruit and Vegetable Juices Magerin, Butter, Milk, and Milk Products.

High Protein Grains

Some commodities have increased protein content in them. These are called high protein grains. They are especially used in baby food. In our country, wheat and rice are mostly eaten. Therefore, it would not be appropriate to mention them. The following is a list of flour and rice enrichment scales.

Nutrients	Dietary gram weight per pound	Dietary gram weight per pound
	To enrich the flour	To enrich the rice
	At most	At most
Thiamine	2.0 to2.5	2.0 to 3.0
Riboflavin	1.2 to 1.5	1.2 to 1.8
Niacin	16.0 to 20.0	32.0 to 16.0
Iron	13.0 to16.5	13.0 to 26.0

Deficiency of vitamins

     

Deficiency of vitamins

Vegetables, especially dark green leafy vegetables, are not commonly eaten raw. Cooked food loses a lot of vitamins in it. Nowadays, as much vitamin A is added to oil and vegetable ghee. First, it is not enough for our needs. Secondly, continuous cooking in oil or ghee eliminates 50 to 70% of life A.

In homes where pure ghee or butter is eaten, it is a satisfying source. But it is so low that it cannot meet our nutritional needs.

Subsequently, it is critical to incorporate vitamin An in food sources that we ordinarily eat every day. For example, salt, sugar, flour, etc.

Iron deficiency

It is a typical protest among pregnant ladies and lactating moms. The survey found that 40% of people have low hemoglobin. The reasons are many and the solutions are different. But one solution that is more acceptable is to enrich the diet with iron.

Iodine deficiency

Goiter is a common disease that is found in infectious forms in mountainous areas. In this disease, the glands of the throat become swollen. It causes diseases that reduce the ability of children to read, write and learn. The disease is caused by iodine deficiency. And iodine salts iodide and iodide give man health. The question arises if we can meet our nutritional deficiencies by enriching food then why not?

This is a long and wide debate and our dieticians are paying close attention to it. We are beginning to think a lot about this in the diet of children, not adults. For example, they like to enrich milk with iron. We should check whether the grain diet contains legitimate dietary fixings. Hopefully, by creating nutritional awareness, we will be able to pay proper attention to the diet of young and old.
