Sažetak
For more than 2 billion people, food is a source of adequate quantity of iodine resulting in the widespread prevention of a spectrum of iodine deficiency disordes. Salt is an excellent carrier for iodine as it is consumed at relatively constant well defined levels by all people within a society, independently of economy status. Over the past decade, as part of Universal Salt lodization (USI), a number of developing countries has taken steps to ensure that all salt for human and animal consumption is iodized. The virtual elimination of iodine deficiency disordes in the world by year 2000 has been set as a goal at al international forums including World Health Assembly, The World Summit Children and The International Conference of Nutrition. Maily quantity of iodine from the iodized salt at the consumer's level can variety in a wide range as the result of several factors: - variability in the ammount of iodine added during the iodization process - the extent of loss of iodine during packing and enviromental conditions - during storage and distribution, - loss of iodine during the cooking process in the household. Adding iodine in the salt is well defined in Croatia: 25 mg KI/kg of ( +/- 5 mg/kg) or with the appropriate ammount of NaIO3 or KI03, so 1 kg of salt (including the natural iodine) contains 15-23 mg KI/kg. But, KI oxidazed to elemntar iodine by oxygen or some other oxidant especially in the presence of catalysts, such as metal ions or moisture. Elementar iodine sublimate and, thus, is rapidly lost in the atmosphere diffusion. In this work we have investigated losses of iodine in unpacked salt, and·packed salt in various packaging materials within 12 months.
