Nutrient premixes are all-in-one, custom blends that offer food and beverage manufacturers numerous benefits, including ingredient accuracy and consistency, plus decreased labor and inventory costs.
With the wide variety of vitamins, minerals, botanicals and nutraceuticals that can be used to fortify foods and beverages, premixed ingredient systems exist to allow manufacturers benefits and savings that require almost no effort to attain. Premixes also offer manufacturers greater product consistency and greatly reduce the chances of using incorrectly weighed materials during finished product manufacturing, especially when considering that the levels of certain nutrients must be rendered in the microgram range.
Premixes also can be tailored towards specific therapeutic categories, such as bone health, heart health, cognitive health and weight management. Some foods and beverages are required by law to be enriched with specific nutrients. Examples include milk products, breads, rice and noodle products.
