As outlined by the FAO, the most commonly fortified foods are cereals and cereal-based products; milk and dairy products; fats and oils; accessory food items; tea and other beverages; and infant formulas. [3] Undernutrition and nutrient deficiency is estimated globally to cause the deaths of between 3 and 5 million people per year. [2]
In contrast to enriched flour, whole wheat flour contains both the bran and the germ. The remaining and largest portion of the seed is the endosperm. It acts as a nutrient reservoir for the developing embryo. The endosperm contains a large amount of carbohydrates, protein, iron, B vitamins (niacin and riboflavin), and soluble fiber.
Enriched grains are refined grains that have been fortified with additional nutrients. Whole grains contain more dietary fiber than refined grains. After processing, fiber is not added back to enriched grains. [6] Enriched grains are nutritionally comparable to whole grains but only in regard to their added nutrients. [5]
Enriched uranium is a type of uranium in which the percent composition of uranium-235 (written 235 U) has been increased through the process of isotope separation.Naturally occurring uranium is composed of three major isotopes: uranium-238 (238 U with 99.2732–99.2752% natural abundance), uranium-235 (235 U, 0.7198–0.7210%), and uranium-234 (234 U, 0.0049–0.0059%).
Meat, seafood, and poultry contain both forms, while plant-based or fortified foods contain only nonheme. ... 1 cup of enriched elbow noodles contains 3.3 mg of iron. Serve it up with a fiber-rich ...
White rice is often enriched with some of the nutrients stripped from it during its processing. [2] Enrichment of white rice with B 1 , B 3 , and iron is required by law in the United States when distributed by government programs to schools, nonprofits, or foreign countries.
This is an important improvement on ordinary fortification when it comes to providing nutrients for the rural poor, who rarely have access to commercially fortified foods. As such, biofortification is seen as an upcoming strategy for dealing with deficiencies of micronutrients in low and middle-income countries.
