摘要

Purpose of Review

The goal of this review is to explore the current technologies used for vitamin fortification in foods and to address the limitations of these methods. It seeks to answer how vitamin fortification can combat micronutrient deficiencies and improve public health, with a focus on the techniques used to add vitamins to food and the challenges involved.

Recent Findings

Recent research highlights food fortification, especially vitamin fortification, as an effective strategy to address global micronutrient deficiencies. Techniques such as blending, coating, microencapsulation, and vacuum impregnation are increasingly being utilized. Additionally, biofortification through genetic modifications and selective breeding has gained attention as a long-term solution. However, there are still limitations in the cost, sensitivity, and scalability of the fortification technologies used.

Summary

This review found that while vitamin fortification and biofortification are promising strategies for addressing nutrient deficiencies, each method comes with specific limitations. The effectiveness of these techniques depends on cost-effective, accurate, and scalable methods for vitamin delivery and detection. Future research should focus on improving these technologies to enhance their accessibility and impact on public health, especially for vulnerable populations.
