There are many parameters and factors to consider when developing a custom nutrient premix that will aid in maintaining overall health, preventing a specific health condition or targeting a certain demographic.

31/03/09 Never before has the focus on the health benefits of commonly available foods and beverages been so strong. The philosophy that foods/beverages can be health promoting beyond their nutritional value continues to be embraced within the public arena and among the scientific community, as mounting research links diet/food components to disease prevention and treatment.  During Vitafoods 2009, Ram Chaudhari, Ph.D., FACN, CNS Sr. Executive Vice President, Chief Scientific Officer for Fortitech, Inc., will be presenting a technical seminar on the fortification challenges of foods and beverages.  There are many parameters and factors to consider when developing a custom nutrient premix that will aid in maintaining overall health, preventing a specific health condition or targeting a certain demographic.  Dr. Chaudhari’s presentation will address these issues and other challenges associated with developing a dynamic premix blend.  The presentation is scheduled for 5 May at 11:05am at the Palexpo in Geneva.
