TL;DR: The studies suggest that KIO3 might have a big effect on the redox balance of tissue and would further result in oxidative stress of organisms and found that IO3(-) can be reduced to I(-) by tissue homogenates and IO3 (-) irreversibly decreases the antioxidant capability of tissues.

TL;DR: Fruits dipped in thiabendazole before storage remained virtually free of fungal attack even after they had completely ripened, indicating that plantain fruits may be sensitive to chlorine.
Abstract: Mature green plantains (Bini variety) dipped in fungicide and stored with Purafil in polyethylene bags, remained green and hard for 3–4 weeks before ripening started. Fruits stored with Purafil or potassium permanganate kept longer (by 2 weeks) than those stored with potassium iodate or potassium dichromate. Severe chemical and fungal damage occurred in fruits stored with calcium hypochlorite, indicating that plantain fruits may be sensitive to chlorine. No significant difference in storage life was observed between fruits stored in polyethylene bags alone and those stored in potassium iodate or potassium dichromate. There was much lower incidence of fungal infection in fruits dipped in thiabendazole (1 g/l) than those dipped in Diathane M45 (3 g/1). Fruits dipped in thiabendazole before storage remained virtually free of fungal attack even after they had completely ripened.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of pre-compression, pre-heating and particle size on the thermal decomposition kinetics of KIO 4 to KIO 3 was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis under isothermal conditions.
