Abstract

The present invention provides a grain fortification system. The said system comprises a plurality of fortification tanks each containing at least one fortifying solution. The system further includes a homogenizer connected to the plurality of fortification tanks, wherein the homogenizer is adapted to receive at least one fortifying solution from the said plurality of fortification tanks to produce a homogenized fortification solution. The system further includes a fortification reactor connected to the said homogenizer. The said fortification reactor is adapted to receive the said homogenized fortification solution from the homogenizer, is adapted to receive the raw food grains, and react the said homogenized fortification solution with the said raw food grains to produce fortified grains by degassing the raw food grains at a preset degassing condition and adsorbing the said homogenized fortification solution on the degassed raw food grains in predefined controlled ambient adsorption conditions to produce fortified grains. The system further includes a fortification solution collection tank connected to the said fortification reactor at one end and to the said homogenizer at another end, wherein the said fortification solution collection tank is adapted to collect, store and recirculate a leftover fortification solution from the said fortification reactor to the said homogenizer. Also, disclosed is a process for grain fortification.
