A significant proportion of Australian children are deficient in nutrients that dramatically affect mental and physical development. To improve health and wellness, micronutrients must be in a palatable form and be sufficiently absorbed to improve nutritional status. To optimise stability during processing, sensory quality and metabolic absorption, appropriate micronutrient food fortification technology must be used. This project proposes a unique linkage between three distinct University faculties and Industry, to combine the development of novel fortified dried-vegetable and/or fruit leathers with an efficient process for their production, nutritional studies to assess their absorption, and target market (young children) acceptance studies.

很大一部分澳大利亚儿童营养不足，严重影响智力和身体发育。为了改善健康和保健，微量营养素必须是可口的形式，并被充分吸收，以改善营养状况。为了优化加工过程中的稳定性、感官质量和代谢吸收，必须使用适当的微量营养素食品强化技术。该项目提出了三个不同的大学院系和行业之间的独特联系，将新型强化干蔬菜和/或水果皮革的开发与其生产的有效过程，评估其吸收的营养研究以及目标市场（幼儿）接受研究相结合。
