Abstract:Granular micronutrient premixes have been used to fortify salt and proven to alleviate micronutrient deficiencies. Expansion of the micronutrient premix technology to other food vehicles requires characterization of the granules to establish a basic understanding of the material. The objective of this study is to determine the physical and chemical properties of micronutrient premixes, and examine these parameters in relation to the attrition of the granules. The physical properties examined were particle shap… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
