PREMIX ADDITION SYSTEMS – SMALL SCALE FORTIFICATION
In small scale fortification premix can be added prior to milling(to
the grain) or after milling.
a) Calibrated scoop/spoon to measure an amount
proportional to the weight of grain, or
b) A sachet, containing an amount appropriate for a set
weight of grain, or
c) A small dosifier that dispenses an amount proportional
to the weight of grain flow. (refer to dosifier information
for continuous premix addition)
In methods a, and b, and appro- cation. If not, then pre-blending
priate batch mixer is required / dilution should be carried out
to ensure proper dispersion as the premixes are too concen-
on of the nutrients in the bulk. trated for fortification to small
The premixes used should be amounts of flour. (refer to notes
designed for small scale fortifi- on premix manufacturing later
in this chapter)
