In the worst cases this deficiency can lead to disorders such as Method goitre, and impaired physical and mental development. 1. Preparation of 0.002 mol L−1 sodium thiosulfate In earlier times salt was “iodised” by the addition of solution: Accurately weigh about 2.5 g of solid potassium iodide; however, nowadays iodine is more sodium thiosulfate (NaS2O3•5H2O) and dissolve in commonly added in the form of potassium iodate 100 mL of distilled water in a volumetric flask. (This gives a 0.1 mol L−1 solution). Then use a pipette to (KIO3). The Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code specifies that iodised salt must contain: “equivalent to transfer 10 mL of this solution to a 500 mL volumetric no less than 25 mg/kg of iodine; and no more than 65 flask and dilute by adding distilled water up to the mg/kg of iodine”.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.

  • Consideration of Mandatory Fortification with Iodine for Australia and New Zealand Food Technology Report
    CONSIDERATION OF MANDATORY FORTIFICATION WITH IODINE FOR AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND FOOD TECHNOLOGY REPORT December 2007 1 Introduction Food Standards Australia New Zealand is considering mandatory fortification of the food supply in Australia and New Zealand with iodine. Generally, the addition of iodine to foods is technologically feasible. However, in some instances the addition of iodine can lead to quality changes in food products such as appearance, taste, odour, texture and shelf life. These changes will depend on the chemical form of iodine used as a fortificant, the chemistry of the food that is being fortified, the food processes involved in manufacture and possible processing interactions that could occur during distribution and storage. Many foods have been fortified with iodine and the potassium salts of iodine compounds have been used as the preferred form. 2 Forms of Iodine Iodine is normally introduced, or supplemented, as the iodide or iodate of potassium, calcium or sodium. The following table lists different chemical forms of iodine along with their important physical properties. Table 1: Physical Properties of Iodine and its Compounds Name Chemical Formula % Iodine Solubility in water (g/L) 0°C 20°C 30°C 40°C 60°C Iodine I2 100 - - 0.3 0.4 0.6 Calcium iodide CaI2 86.5 646 676 690 708 740 Calcium iodate Ca(IO3)2.6H2O 65.0 - 1.0 4.2 6.1 13.6 Potassium iodide KI 76.5 1280 1440 1520 1600 1760 Potassium iodate KIO3 59.5 47.3 81.3 117 128 185 Sodium iodide NaI.2H20 85.0 1590 1790 1900 2050 2570 Sodium iodate NaIO3 64.0 - 25.0 90.0 150 210 Adapted from Mannar and Dunn (1995) 2.1 Potassium Iodide Potassium iodide (KI) is highly soluble in water.

  • Salt (1) Salt, Other Than Crude Rock Salt, Shall Be Crystalline Sodium Chloride
    Regulation 283 – Salt (1) Salt, other than crude rock salt, shall be crystalline sodium chloride. (2) On a water-free basis, salt- (a) shall contain not less than 95 per cent of sodium chloride, food additive excluded; (b) may contain not more than- (i) 1.4 per cent of sulphates, calculated as calcium sulphate (CaSO4); (ii) 0.5 per cent of calcium and magnesium chloride (CaCl2 and MgCl2); and (iii) 0.1 per cent of substances other than calcium sulphate, insoluble in cold water; and (c) shall not contain metal contaminant in a proportion greater than that specified in the Fourteenth Schedule. (3) Salt may contain not more than 10 mg/kg of potassium ferrocyanide, sodium ferrocyanide or ferric ammonium citrate or any combination of these as permitted food conditioner. (4) Any reference in these Regulations to salt as an ingredient in food shall be deemed to be also a reference to iodised salt and iodised table salt and to iodised table salt. (5) No person shall import, manufacture for sale, sell, expose or offer for sale, consign or deliver salt for household use and human consumption unless there has been added to it potassium iodide or iodate, or sodium iodide or iodate in a proportion equivalent to not less than 20 mg/kg and not more than 40 mg/kg of iodine. (6) There shall be written in the label on a package containing iodised salt the word “Iodised Salt”. Regulation 284 – Table salt (1) Table salt shall be refined salt. It shall contain not less than 97 per cent of sodium chloride on a water-free basis, food additive excluded and shall not lose more than 1 per cent of its weight on drying at 130°C.

Chrachri 20 Abstract 21 Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings from identified centrifugal neurons of the optic 22 lobe in a slice preparation allowed the characterization of five voltage-dependent 23 currents; two outward and three inward currents. The outward currents were; the 4- 24 aminopyridine-sensitive transient potassium or A-current (IA), the TEA-sensitive 25 sustained current or delayed rectifier (IK).
