Product Description
Fortified rice is produced by blending rice flour with essential vitamins and minerals (e.g., iron, zinc, vitamin B12, folic acid) and then extruding it into rice-shaped kernels that resemble natural rice. This process ensures better nutrition while maintaining taste and cooking properties.
**1. Ingredients & Fortification Mix**
**Base Materials**
- **Rice flour** (80-90%) - Fine powder from broken rice or milled rice
- **Binding agents** (5-10%) - Starch, gums (e.g., guar gum), or maltodextrin
- **Water** (20-30%) - For dough consistency
**Fortification Premix (1-5%)**
| **Nutrient** | **Common Form** | **Function** |
|--------------------|----------------|-------------|
| **Iron** | Ferric pyrophosphate (micronized) | Prevents anemia |
| **Zinc** | Zinc oxide/sulfate | Boosts immunity |
| **Vitamin A** | Retinyl palmitate | Improves vision |
| **Vitamin B1/B12** | Thiamine mononitrate / Cyanocobalamin | Energy metabolism |
| **Folic Acid** | Folate powder | Prevents birth defects |
*(Premix suppliers: DSM, BASF, FFI, etc.)*
**Step 1: Pre-Mixing**
- Blend rice flour, fortificants, and binder uniformly.
- Adjust moisture to **20-30%** (for proper dough formation).
**Step 2: Extrusion Setup**
- **Extruder Type**: Twin-screw (better mixing & shaping)
- **Temperature Zones**:
- **Zone 1 (Feed)**: 30-50°C
- **Zone 2-3 (Kneading)**: 70-90°C (partial gelatinization)
- **Zone 4-5 (Cooking)**: 100-120°C (full expansion)
- **Die Zone**: 80-100°C (shaping)
- **Screw Speed**: 200-400 RPM
- **Die Design**: Rice-grain-shaped holes (~5-6 mm length)
**Step 3: Extrusion & Shaping**
- The dough is forced through the die to form **rice-like kernels**.
- **Cutting mechanism**: Adjust blade speed for uniform grain size.
**Step 4: Drying & Cooling**
- **Hot-air drying** (60-70°C) to reduce moisture to **10-12%**.
- **Cooling** to room temperature before packaging.
**Step 5: Blending with Natural Rice**
- Fortified rice kernels are mixed with regular rice at **1:100 to 1:200 ratio** (e.g., 1 kg fortified rice + 99-199 kg natural rice).
**Conclusion**
Extrusion is the **most efficient method** for fortified rice production, ensuring **nutritional consistency** and **consumer acceptance**. Twin-screw extruders are preferred due to better mixing and shaping control.

Artificial rice refers to starch-like raw materials added with various nutrient fortification substances, artificially granulated, gelatinized, and dried to make granules similar to natural rice. The artificial rice is mixed with rice at a ratio of 1: 200 ~ 300, so that the nutritional value of the cooked rice after mixing is significantly better than that of ordinary rice.
Various vitamins, trace elements and proteins are added to solve the health problems caused by the lack of vitamins in the public. Ordinary grains will cause a lot of nutrient loss during the processing. Fortified vitamin B group and iron and other trace elements supplement or enrich the nutrients in rice, increase the deficiency of nutrients in food, and meet the requirements of nutrition and energy supply. Human nutrition is balanced, preventing disease and promoting health, and improving quality of life. Therefore, engineering rice is the most ideal new staple food in modern people's lives.
