Ltd. offers ‘Electro-Fine’, an enhanced electrolytic iron powder for food supplements, vitamin fortification, and replenishment.

Food fortification

World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended only the use of electrolytic iron powder amongst all elemental iron powders in food fortification. With excellent bio availability, high surface area, long shelf life, better dissolution rate, and optimum particle size distribution, our electrolytic iron powder is the best solution for food fortification and other nutritional Applications. Moreover, our electrolytic iron powder does not change color, taste, and odor of the premix material and hence it is being gladly accepted by food industries across the globe. Products, where long shelf life is needed (EIP) are the only option.

FLOUR FORTIFICATION WITH THE PREFERRED ELEMENTAL IRON POWDER – ELECTROLYTIC IRON POWDER

Ordinary elemental iron powders have very poor bioavailability and low purity. So in actuality, your CUSTOMER is not getting the iron from the flour, even though you have PAID for it.

As per the Latest Guidelines published by WHO (World Health Organization), only Electrolytic iron powder is the recommended elemental iron for fortification

  • Most ordinary reduced iron / atomized iron has only half the bioavailability of Electrolytic Iron.
  • ‘Electro-Fine’ is an enhanced electrolytic iron powder from Industrial Metal Powders (India) Pvt. Ltd. It is the latest product that is COST EFFECTIVE, BACKED BY 42 YEARS OF R & D And huge Experience and a PRODUCT INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED WITH EASY AVAILABILITY.
  • Electrolytics is basically a process of purification; hence, you definitely get a better and purer product.

Why Flour Fortification?

We all know that flour is the staple diet in more than 180 countries worldwide since several people do not have access to divers food supplements, Flour is the cheapest and best source of diet and the best mode for vitamin fortification or replenishment. Also, while milling, flour loses most of its vitamins and nutritional value.

Particle Size, Shape and surface area

Electro – Fine has very fine particles, as you can see from the adjoining table. The excellent particle shape and high surface area contribute to a better dissolution rate and higher RBV.

Cost Effective

Electrolytic iron ‘Electro – Fine’ is a premium product; however, IMP has been able to offer this premium product at extremely competitive prices to benefit premix compliance in making the premix cost-effective, the flour millers in making their burden of flour cost lower, and the consumers who are getting and well-enriched product at affordable costs.
