What is a premix?
A premix is a combination of micronutrients that are blended together to be used by flour mills in flour fortification programmes. In most cases the premix contains an inert diluent (carrier) such as starch, maltodextrin and if needed an anti-caking agent (to prevent lumping). Premixes are usually prepared so that they are added to flour at a standard dosage rate such as 150, 200, 250, or 300 grams per metric ton (MT).
