(WorldNews Netherlands)

NWO grant for research in nature-inspired multi-mineral salts for iron fortification 18 December 2018 One quarter of the world`s population does not get the right nutrients needed for a healthy life. Low iron intake is a particularly challenging problem in this respect. A consortium consisting of physicists and chemists from the universities of Amsterdam, Wageningen and Utrecht, together with industry partners Unilever and Nouryon (former AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals), and led by UvA physicist Noushine Shahidzadeh, has set up a 1MEUR project with a EUR600.000 NWO Technology Area grant to understand iron interactions with...
