Is it possible to compensate for iodine deficiency by consuming iodized salt? Yes, if you use it to add salt to finished products. Heat treatment destroys the inorganic form of iodine (KI and KIO3), which is carried by salt. At the same time, the total amount of salt in the diet increases, which increases the risk of developing CVD.
The organic form of iodine (in combination with amino acids and polysaccharides) is more resistant to harsh technological conditions. Scientists from the Federal Research Center for Food Systems named after. V.M. Gorbatov compared various sources and forms of iodine, taking into account their use as functional ingredients:
Iodite and potassium iodate
Iodocasein and iodotyrosine
Iodized soy protein
Iodized dietary fiber
Yodhitozan
As it turns out, iodized milk proteins have been widely used in the food industry for many years, incl. in baby food products. But iodine in combination with polysaccharides is currently under study, but this technology has great potential.
