In Japan, Rohto Pharmaceuticals and dsm-firmenich debut Vision R — multi-layered micronutrient granules designed to address nutritional insufficiencies among seniors. The food fortifying ingredient utilizes dsm-firmenich’s patented Sprinkle It Technology (SIT).
SIT is based on a proprietary low-moisture, short-time extrusion process, which produces stable, highly compacted nutrient granules. Instead of traditional capsules, tablets or encapsulated products, SIT’s patented technology uses a natural matrix made from semolina and wheat starch, enabling vitamins to be integrated “seamlessly” into food.
