Vitamin D3 (VD3) and iron-blend granules were blended with corn and lentil composite flour (75/25, w/w) and fed into a pilot-scale twin-screw extruder to produce ready-to-eat snacks. The morphology and microstructure of extruded snacks were examined using scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX), X-ray powder diffraction, and FT-IR. Differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis measured the melting temperature and thermal stability of the extrudates.

The aim of this study was to develop vitamin D (VD) and iron (Fe) blended granules using Neusilin® US2 as an excipient. A central composite design of experiments was used for the continuous manufacturing process, considering VD and iron as independent variables and the bulk density, flow index, oil holding capacity, and color difference as response variables. The addition of VD had a significant effect on the powder flow properties.
