Abstract: A fortified salt mixture includes sodium chloride salt grains and a multi-supplement food-additive admixed with the sodium chloride salt grains. The multi-supplement food additive includes particles, and each particle includes a core having a first supplement and a binder, a coating on the core, and a second supplement in the core and/or in the coating. A method for fortifying salt ncludes combining a first supplement, a second supplement, a binder and a coating to yield a multi-supplement food-additive; and admixing the multi-supplement food-additive with sodium chloride salt grains.

Abstract: There is provided an iron-fortified tea preparation having dried tea; and a mixture of a chelator and iron adhered to the dried tea, optionally with an adhesive, the molar ratio of chelator:iron in the mixture being about 2:1 or greater. The iron-fortified tea preparation may be used to brew tea, may be mixed with unfortified tea prior to brewing, and may also be used as an additive to food or beverage products.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for processing defatted oil seeds, comprising the steps of: (a) solubilizing at least a portion of the protein contained in the oil seeds to produce suspended residual solids and a first solution comprising protein, phenolic-protein complexes, and free phenolic compounds; (b) treating at least a portion of the phenolic-protein complexes in the first solution to liberate at least some phenolic compounds from the phenolic-protein complexes thereby producing a second solution; (c) separating at least a portion of the free phenolic compounds from the second solution and recovering a free phenolic reduced solution; and (d) treating the free phenolic reduced solution to precipitate at least a portion of the protein as a precipitated protein isolate and recovering a treated solution containing a soluble protein isolate. Novel protein products are also disclosed. Food and drink products containing the novel protein products are also disclosed.
