Iodized Salt Profile at Regional Markets in East Java According to the Indonesian National Standard Analyzed by Spectrophotometric Method
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Nutrition - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Background and Objectives: A study on the iodine contents of iodized salt at regional markets in Blitar, Ngawi, Gresik, and Pasuruan districts, East Java Province has been held by analysing 202 samples of various brands from 21 regional markets. Insufficiency of iodine intake could lead to symptoms of iodine deficiency and disturbances such as mumps, extreme fatigue, mental retardation, and depression that collectively called IDDs. Therefore, the measurement of iodate in salt sample is important to know the difference of iodine contents in some salt samples that might be influenced by certain conditions, such as environments, transportation, package, and cooking methods. Methods: The measurement of iodine-contents was done using the spectrophotometric method on λ 288 nm to λ 352 nm wavelength. Results: The research revealed that in Blitar district, 20% iodized salt meet the Indonesian National Standard (SNI), while 80% did not meet the standard. In Ngawi district, 54% met the standard and 46% did not. In Gresik district, 50% meet the standard and 50% did not. In Pasuruan district, 50% met and 50% did not meet the standard. Conclusions: There is still circulating salt that does not meet the requirements of SNI (a minimum of iodine-containing 30 ppm) and even some salt in circulation are still contain no iodine.
