Strategic Fortification for the Mass Market
The food and beverage sector requires nutrient solutions that can withstand industrial-scale processing while remaining invisible to the consumer's palate. Fortitech Premixes specializes in creating custom blends that allow manufacturers to meet aggressive nutritional goals and capitalize on growing health and wellness trends.
Key Challenges We Solve:
- Processing Survival: Protecting sensitive vitamins from degradation during high-heat processes like baking, pasteurization, or retort sterilization.
- Sensory Interference: Neutralizing the metallic, bitter, or astringent tastes introduced by minerals and high-dose active ingredients.
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring the precise levels of fortification are met across all units to comply with local and international labeling laws.
Custom Formulation for Product Categories
Our expertise spans the entire spectrum of consumer packaged goods, delivering specific solutions for each product's unique matrix.
Food Applications:
- Cereal & Bakery: Utilizing highly stable, micronized powders that blend uniformly into dry mixes and retain potency through the baking or extrusion process.
- Dairy & Alternatives: Formulating high-solubility calcium and mineral blends that prevent precipitation, chalkiness, and separation in $\text{pH}$-sensitive milk and plant-based drinks.
- Snack Foods: Developing lipid-based coatings and protective matrices to incorporate Omega-3s and other oils without impacting the texture or stability of the finished snack.
Beverage Applications:
- Enhanced Juices & Water: Providing liquid premixes or high-solubility powders that dissolve instantly, maintaining crystal clarity and avoiding sediment or off-flavors in high-acid environments.
- RTM (Ready-to-Mix) Powders: Engineering agglomerated particles for superior flow and immediate dissolution, ensuring a lump-free, quick consumer experience.
Scientific and Supply Chain Value
We act as an extension of your R&D and procurement teams, managing complexity to enhance your bottom line.
