Green health iodic salt

Abstract: The green health iodized salt belongs to the field of food product technology The green health iodized salt has refined kelp and seaweed powder as iodine source to replace traditional potassium iodate and potassium iodide The present invention changes the inorganic iodide in table salt into organic iodide and can raise the iodine ingesting amount by two times Kelp and seaweed have high iodine content and the organic iodide is chemically stable, so that adding the refined kelp and seaweed powder in the amount of 25 wt% into table salt can meet the iodine replenishing requirement At the same time, kelp and seaweed contains also many trace elements and amino acids essential for human body The refined kelp and seaweed powder is produced with kelp and seaweed and through depurating, washing, crushing, milling into powder, sterilizing, adding preservative and packing

Iodate induced toxic retinopathy: a case report

Abstract: Iodine deficiency is a common preventable cause of intellectual and developmental disabilities. Iodine in the form of potassium iodate is added to the common salt under the National Iodine Deficiency Disorder Control Program in India. Overdose of iodate can lead to retinal toxicity. We hereby present a case of a 34 year old male patient who presented to us 10 years following iodate ingestion. There was widespread outer retinal atrophy, foveal atrophy and sub-retinal fibrosis noted on fundus evaluation. The fundus fluorescein angiogram was suggestive of window defects while the scotopic electroretinogram showed diminished amplitude pointing towards a grave prognosis. Excessive ingestion of potassium iodate can lead to outer retinal atrophy due to its toxicity to the retinal pigment epithelium and photo-receptors. The degree of damage is dependent on the ingested dose.

Wheat dietary fibre and soy protein as new carriers of iodine compounds for food fortification – The effect of storage conditions on the stability of potassium iodide and potassium iodate

Abstract: The aim of the study was to investigate the use of dietary wheat fibre (short and long fibre) and soy protein (concentrate and isolate) as carriers of potassium iodide (KI) and potassium iodate (KIO3) by determining changes in the iodine content under different storage conditions. The iodised carriers and table salt were stored in closed glass jars at the following temperatures and relative humidity: 25 °C/60%, 25 °C/90% and 40 °C/90%, and two layers: 2 cm and 10 cm. The study showed that during storage the iodine stability in all the carriers (wheat dietary fibres and soy protein preparations) was at least as high as in table salt and in most cases it was significantly higher. Long wheat dietary fibre (LWF) seemed to be the best of the iodine carriers under study because it improved iodine stability the most and made it less dependent on storage conditions such as elevated temperature and humidity. Soy protein isolate (SPI) is also an interesting carrier, but it is important to ensure optimal storage conditions for iodised SPI, especially humidity. Both carriers could be used as alternatives to the traditional carrier (table salt) in the production of iodine-fortified food.

Reagent used for detecting urinary iodine by biochemistry analyzer and urinary iodine detecting method

Abstract: The invention discloses a reagent used for detecting urinary iodine by a biochemistry analyzer and a urinary iodine detecting method. The reagent mainly comprises the following components: digestion solution-ammonium persulfate solution, reagent R1-arsenious acid or arsenic trioxide solution, reagent R2-ceric ammonium sulfate or cerous sulfate solution, and iodine standard solution-potassium iodide (sodium iodide) or potassium iodate (sodium iodate) solution. The detecting method mainly includes the following steps: selecting the detecting reagent, digesting urine sample, setting parameters of the biochemistry analyzer, and determining through the biochemistry analyzer. The detecting method has high automation degree, small human error, little reagent dosage and short detecting time. By adopting the biochemistry analyzer to analyze the urinary iodine, the urinary iodine detecting method expands the detecting items of the instrument, is particularly suitable for the medical organizations equipped with the biochemistry analyzers, and meets the requirements of clinical detection on quick issuing of result and detecting automation.
