Hexagon Nutrition at heart is a research-oriented organization with a strong mix of capabilities and a large portfolio of tested products which includes micronutrient premix, malnutrition products, clinical nutrition, Fortified rice kernels, animal nutrition, floor enzymes, etc. They manufacture and market scientifically formulated brands across a 360-degree spectrum of illness, wellness, and lifestyle disease management.
MICRONUTRIENT PREMIX
Wheat Flour Premix
Wheat is one of the most widely consumed cereal grains that are produced worldwide; wheat flour is consumed in a range of forms that includes bread, biscuits, pasta, cakes, wafers, and extruded products such as Noodles. Fortification of this staple offers a great deal to consumers, satisfying caloric requirements as well as alleviating the problem of hidden hunger.
Maize Flour Premix
The growing centralization of maize milling, its worldwide consumption, and the simplicity of the fortification technology make this vehicle a good choice for nutritional intervention. The overall stability of micronutrients in fortified maize flour stored at room temperature is good.
Milk
MILK – Nature’s most nearly perfect food. Besides protein and fat, dairy products provide a wide range of micronutrients, such as fat-soluble vitamins and calcium. However, most of these nutrients are lost during High-temperature processing, which is why dairy fortification is important. Milk and milk powders are commonly fortified with vitamins A and D3. Both liquid and powder premixes are available from Hexagon Nutrition.
Oil
We fortify oils and fats with essential micronutrients that would improve the quality of edible oil thereby making it relevant in addressing micronutrient deficiencies. All kinds of edible oils (soybean, palm olein, groundnut, cottonseed, and mustard) can be fortified with micronutrients.
FMCG
FMCG are goods that sell quickly at a relatively low cost. Most of these fast-moving consumer goods have a short shelf life, either because of high consumer demand or because the product deteriorates rapidly. Seasons and holidays influence their sales. For maximum efficiency, the logistics and distribution systems often require secondary and tertiary packing.
MALNUTRITION PRODUCTS
RUTF
Ready-to-use Therapeutic Food is a combination of essential micro-nutrients, milk solids, sugar, maltodextrin, and vegetable fats, designed to treat children who come under the moderate acute malnutrition category. It can also be administered to children who have been in therapeutic nutrition programs so that they do not relapse into severe acute malnutrition.
RUSF
RUSF or ready-to-eat supplementary food is administered in cases of moderate acute malnutrition. Based upon combinations of milk solids, sugar, maltodextrin, vegetable fats, and custom premixes comprising vitamins and minerals, RUSF provides nutritional support for at-risk populations.
Home Fortifications
Home Fortifications or Multiple Micronutrient Powders (MNPs) are 1 g sachets that are easy to administer along with staples. MNPs can easily be sprinkled on meals that are prepared at home or in schools.

FORTIFIED RICE KERNELS
Rice is one of the majorly consumed staples in the world, especially in South East Asia. Rice is consumed by approximately 70% of the Indian population, according to a report released by the international NGO – Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN). Fortified Rice Kernels (FRKs) are normally added to normal rice in a ratio of 1:99 to make fortified rice that adds to the nutritional value of rice.
Fortification of rice can be done by the following methods, according to GAIN:
Hot Extrusion: The rice can be fortified by the extrusion process, which involves combining the rice flour, micronutrient premises, and water, and then the product is extruded in the form of rice kernels. The process involves subjecting the product to heat i.e. 70°C -110°C, hence the product is precooked
Cold Extrusion: This process is like hot extrusion, but there is no heat processing and rice flour is replaced by rice dough, which is combined with the micronutrient premix. The mixture is then extruded in the form of rice-like kernels. This type of fortified rice is not precooked.
Coating: In this technique, the micronutrient premixes are combined with ingredients like gum and waxes, which are later sprayed on the rice.
Dusting: This method involves dusting the rice grains with the micronutrient premixes, which binds with the rice grains due to electrostatic force.
Although other techniques like Coating and Dusting exist, Hot Air Extrusion is the most preferred method of fortification.
Common Fortificants:
- Vitamins: Vitamins B9 and B12
- Minerals: Iron
