India is the largest producer of milk in the world with 146.3 million tonnes of production and per capita availability of 322 GM/day.
Fortification of milk with Vitamin A and Vitamin D is required in India because of the widespread deficiencies present in the population. A National Nutrition Monitoring Bureau (NNMB) survey and a Report of the expert group of ICMR in 2012 stated that India has very high burden of Vitamin A and D deficiencies, amongst both young children and adults particularly in urban areas are physically less active and have a very limited exposure to sunlight. Also, while milk is a rich source of high quality protein, calcium and vitamins A and D. Vitamins A & D are lost when milk fat is removed during processing.
Since milk is consumed by all, its fortification with micronutrients is a good strategy to address micronutrient malnutrition.

Milk Fortification
Process – For Liquid Milk
An aliquot of cold milk is mixed with the contents of the premix poured into a mixing tank.
The pre-blend is then added to milk aliquot.
The pre-blend (of milk & premix) is homogenized before adding to bulk milk in processing. This is followed by packing from the bulk storage of the fortified milk/product.
Milk Fortification
Process – For Dried Milk
In a separate mixing tank mix premix with a suitable aliquot of cold milk. Set temperature between 40-45C to hasten dissolution.
When the powder is fully uniformly dissolved, the pre-blend (milk & premix) is then added to the bulk milk in processing. This is followed by packing from the bulk storage of the fortified milk/product.
Note: It is not necessary to homogenize the pre-blend (of milk & premix) before adding it to bulk milk in processing.
