Thesis Abstract
**Abstract
**
This project aims to address the nutritional needs of vulnerable populations, specifically children and the elderly, through the development of fortified foods. Malnutrition is a significant concern among these demographics due to various factors such as poor dietary intake, limited access to nutritious foods, and physiological changes associated with aging. Fortified foods, enriched with essential vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients, offer a practical solution to combat malnutrition and improve overall health outcomes. This research project will focus on formulating fortified food products tailored to the specific nutritional requirements of children and the elderly, considering factors such as taste preferences, digestibility, and bioavailability of nutrients. Through a combination of nutritional analysis, sensory evaluation, and consumer feedback, this study aims to develop fortified foods that are not only nutritionally balanced but also palatable and readily accepted by the target populations.
