Evaluation Of The Iodine Content Of Salt Samples Purchased From Umuahia Main Market In Abia State:- Tasie, Uchechukwu O.
ABSTRACT
Four brands of salts from different producers
packaged in multi packs, low density i polyethylene (LDI’E) packs and those
exposed lor 30 days were analysed for iodine carried out to determine the
levels of iodine in iodized table salts at the point of consumption and to
assess the effects of packaging, distribution and storage lime and exposure on
the rates of iodine losses and to draw the necessary conclusions, fhe multi
packs and low density polyethylene packs offered the best protection to the
packaged salt 38.36ppm) for Annapurna salt. Exposure of the salt samples to the
atmosphere led to drastic losses of iodine with iodine concentrations ranging
from (II.74ppm - 19.78ppm) with significant difference (P<0.05) between
iodization/production dale and lime of analyses. The tests on purity also
indicated high percentage impurity in the exposed samples. The Endings of this
study indicate that to ensure the effectiveness of local salt iodization i
programs, it is paramount to determine rates of iodine losses from local
iodized salt under local conditions of production, packaging and storage.
