obohatení

obohatená is a Slovak word that translates to "enriched" in English. It is often used in various contexts, primarily in relation to food and scientific materials.

In the context of food, obohatená typically refers to foods that have had additional nutrients added to them that are not naturally present or are present in insufficient amounts. This process is common for staple foods like flour, bread, milk, and cereals. For example, obohatená múka (enriched flour) may have iron and B vitamins added back after the milling process has removed them. Similarly, obohatené mlieko (enriched milk) might have added vitamin D. This practice aims to improve public health by compensating for potential dietary deficiencies.

Beyond food, the term obohatená can also describe materials that have been modified to enhance their properties. This might include scientific or industrial applications where a substance is treated to increase its concentration of a specific component or to imbue it with new characteristics. For instance, obohatená ruda (enriched ore) refers to ore that has undergone a process to increase the concentration of valuable minerals. The specific meaning of obohatená depends heavily on the surrounding context in which it is used.
