ABOUT ENRICHMENT
AND
FORTIFICATION OF
FOODS
The terms “enrichment”
and fortification” have been
part of the food industry for
a long tune. But these terms
still create confusion among
many consumers.
The enrichment process
replaces nutrients lost
during the processing and
refining of food. Enrichment
of flour, bread, rice, cereal,
commeal, spaghetti and
macaroni products refers to
the addition of the B
vitamins (thiamine,
riboflavin and niacin) and
the mineral iron. There is no
need to ennch whole-gram
foods such as whole wheat
bread and flour smce they
contain their original
nutrients naturally.
Fortification goes a step
beyond enrichment. In this
process, a nutrient is added
that was not originally
present in the food or that
was present in a smaller
amount, such as vitamin D
milk, vitamin A fortified
margarine, iodized salt and
fruit drinks with vitamin C
added. Certain bread and
cereal products are fortified
with extra vitamins and
minerals. Better quality
protein sources are obtained
by fortifying some products
with certain ammo acids. In
some communities, the
drinking water is fortified
with fluonde. In short,
fortification helps to supply

otherwise be hard for some
people to get m their regular
diets.
Enrichment and for
tification have both played
an important role in im
proving nutrition in the
Umted States. However, the
federal Food and Drug
Administration does limit
the amount of nutrients that
can be added to foods.
Without limits, food com

ECONOMICAL HOME
SEWING
Sewing your own gar
ments can save you money.
Here are some suggestions
for cutting costs even more.
Use uncomplicated pat
terns. These usually require
less fabric and fewer extras
such as trims and notions.
And they require less cutting
and sewing time.
Select fabrics in wider
widths when possible.
Usually it will allow more
efficient use of fabric and
you’ll waste less in cutting.
Fabrics without nap or one
way designs are also more
economical.
Select fashions and fabrics
that do not require lining or
underlining. If the fabric
does require t lining or un
derlining, select a less ex
pensive fashion fabric which
has the same properties
regular lining fabrics do.
Often you can find a surah or
woven polyester or rayon in
last season’s colors on sale.
These will add color to your
garment as well as cut cost.
Don’t sacrifice in
terfacings to save money.
But if the fabric is not too
heavy or too translucent, use
it as interfacing. If you can’t
use it, buy a yard or so of the
interfacing you use most.
