Detailed explanation-1: -Fortification is the practice of deliberately increasing the content of one or more micronutrients (i.e., vitamins and minerals) in a food or condiment to improve the nutritional quality of the food supply and provide a public health benefit with minimal risk to health.
Detailed explanation-2: -Commercial and industrial fortification is the process of adding micronutrients to commercially accessible items such as wheat, rice, cooking oils, sauces, and butter while they are being manufactured.
Detailed explanation-3: -Enriched foods refer to those foods in which certain nutrients that were lost during processing, are artificially added back into them. A prominent example of an enriched food is white flour. Whole wheat grains contain nutrients like iron and folic acid, but these are often lost during the process of making flour.
