Ingredients firm DSM has received the first GAIN business award for innovation in nutrition 2008, presented at a ceremony during the recent GAIN (Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition) Business Alliance Global forum in Amsterdam.

The Netherlands company gained the award for its "innovative efforts in rice fortification", called NutriRice.

DSM, in cooperation with Bühler, developed a new technology that produces rice kernels that are "indistinguishable from unfortified rice in looks and taste", and remain "highly nutritious" after washing and cooking.

 

“The judges were particularly impressed with the innovative features of DSM's NutriRice product. In the past, rice fortification efforts have not been very successful due in part to cultural and dietary preferences,” said Will Oulton, director, responsible investment, FTSE Group and chair of the judging panel.
