• Fortification & Additive Applications: Calcium phosphate (dicalcium phosphate) serves as a versatile fortifier, providing 23% elemental calcium with GRAS status (FDA 21 CFR §182.1221) and ≤50ppm heavy metal limits, ideal for cereals and breads. Zinc malate, with its low reactivity (pH 4.5–5.5), fortifies acidic juices without organoleptic changes. As an acidity regulator, sodium citrate (E331) stabilizes processed cheeses at ≤2% w/w, while magnesium laurate (HLB 3.8) acts as a plant-based emulsifier in vegan spreads, replacing synthetic mono/diglycerides.

• Market Drivers: The global food fortification market is USD 12.7 billion, with micronutrient premixes (38% of sales) addressing public health challenges. In India, the National Food Security Act mandates fortification of rice with 30–40ppm iron + 10–15ppm zinc, driving demand for DSM NutriRice® spray-dried blends. Clean label trends (78% of US consumers prefer “no artificial additives”) fuel adoption of fermented minerals like Corbion NutriVert™ calcium from Lactobacillus fermentation.

• Sustainability Initiatives: GreenCa™ technology from Sisecam Group produces calcium chloride from brine waste, a byproduct of solar salt production, reducing freshwater use by 90% compared to synthetic routes, aligning with circular economy principles.
