Durum wheat semolinaNeutral
Durum wheat semolina is a refined wheat product used in pasta making. It provides a good source of carbohydrates but lacks the fiber found in whole grains. The processing removes some nutrients, making it less beneficial than whole grain alternatives.
Risks
May cause allergic reactions in individuals with wheat or gluten sensitivities.
Benefits
Provides a source of energy through carbohydrates and is a staple in many diets.
Folic acidNeutral
Folic acid is a synthetic form of vitamin B9 used to fortify foods. It is essential for DNA synthesis and cell division. Fortification helps prevent deficiencies, especially in populations with low dietary intake.
Risks
Excessive intake can mask vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms.
Benefits
Crucial for DNA synthesis and cell division, and helps prevent neural tube defects during pregnancy.
Ferrous sulphateNeutral
Ferrous sulphate is an iron supplement used to fortify foods. It helps prevent iron deficiency anemia by increasing iron intake. The fortification process is important for populations at risk of iron deficiency.
Risks
Excessive iron intake can lead to gastrointestinal issues and toxicity.
Benefits
Essential for oxygen transport in the blood and preventing anemia.
Thiamine mononitrateNeutral
Thiamine mononitrate is a form of vitamin B1 used to fortify foods. It is essential for carbohydrate metabolism and nerve function. Fortification helps prevent thiamine deficiency, especially in refined grain products.
Benefits
Supports carbohydrate metabolism and nerve function.
WheatNeutral
