Abstract: Nutrient Encapsulation and Release Machine for Enhanced School Meal Nutrition This invention describes an advanced nutrient encapsulation and targeted release system designed to enhance the stability, bioavailability, and efficacy of micronutrients in fortified foods. The system utilizes thermally stable, water-insoluble polymers and pH-responsive materials to protect nutrients during cooking and storage while ensuring controlled release at specific pH levels in the digestive tract. It comprises an encapsulation chamber with precision-controlled heating and mixing mechanisms, a polymer infusion unit, and a nutrient input module equipped with quality verification sensors. A real-time monitoring system tracks temperature and humidity, dynamically adjusting parameters to maintain encapsulation integrity under varying environmental conditions. The system also includes a storage and output module for climate-controlled preservation and a digital control interface for user-configurable settings and real-time feedback. Designed for large-scale applications like school meal programs, the invention addresses global challenges in combating malnutrition by ensuring effective nutrient delivery in resource-limited settings.
