Having established – through the application of appro- priate criteria – that the nature of the public health risk posed by a micronutri- ent deficiency justifies intervention in the form of food fortification, the selection of a suitable combination of food vehicle and fortificant(s), or more specifically, the chemical form of the micronutrient(s) that will added to the chosen food vehicle, is fundamental to any food fortification programme. Subsequent chap- ters (Part IV) cover other important aspects of food fortification programme planning, including how to calculate how much fortificant to add to the chosen food vehicle in order to achieve a predetermined public health benefit (Chapter 7), monitoring and impact evaluation (Chapters 8 and 9), marketing (Chapter 10) and regulatory issues (Chapter 11). In practice, the selection of a food vehicle–fortificant combination is governed by range of factors, both technological and regulatory. Foods such as cereals, oils, dairy products, beverages and various condiments such as salt, sauces (e.g. soy sauce) and sugar are particularly well suited to mandatory mass fortifica- tion. These foods share some or all of the following characteristics: • They are consumed by a large proportion of the population, including (or especially) the population groups at greatest risk of deficiency.

The iron ore after pelletizing and roasting was reduced by hydrogen to obtain direct reduced iron (DRI). Carbon and sulfur were removed in this step and other impurities such as silicon, manganese, titanium and aluminum were excluded from metallic iron. Dephosphorization was implemented simultaneously during the melting separation step by making use of the ferrous oxide (FeO) contained in DRI. The problem of deoxidization for pure iron was solved, and the oxygen content of pure iron was reduced to 10 ppm by refining with a high basicity slag. Compared with electrolytic iron, the pure iron prepared by this method has tremendous advantages in cost and scale and has more outstanding quality than technically pure iron, making it possible to produce high-purity iron in a short-flow, large-scale, low-cost and environmentally friendly way.

In view of this fact, it might seem superfluous to add to the existing literature except for the following considerations : Earlier workers have for the most part confined their attention to special portions of the diagram or to disputed questions of theory. Their thermal studies have not been carried out with the degree of accuracy now attainable. They have practically without ex- ception employed commercial materials of varying degrees of purity.
