Iodised Salt
Whatsapp Order
Iodised Salt is table salt (sodium chloride) fortified with a small, controlled amount of iodine, typically in the form of potassium iodate or potassium iodide. It appears as fine white crystalline granules, odorless, and with a characteristic salty taste. The addition of iodine helps prevent iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) such as goiter, mental impairment, and developmental abnormalities. Iodised Salt is widely used in households, food processing, and animal nutrition to ensure adequate dietary iodine intake.
Description
Iodised Salt
Primary UsesÂ
- Human Nutrition
- Essential dietary source of iodine to prevent iodine deficiency disorders including goiter, hypothyroidism, cretinism, and cognitive impairments.
- Used universally as table salt for seasoning and food preservation in households and commercial kitchens.
- Incorporated in processed foods to maintain iodine intake across populations.
- Food Industry
- Added to packaged and processed foods (baked goods, snacks, ready meals) as a fortified salt ingredient.
- Used in food preservation and curing processes to extend shelf life and improve flavor while providing iodine supplementation.
- Animal Nutrition
- Supplemented in livestock and poultry feed formulations to prevent iodine deficiency and related health problems.
- Used in mineral licks and salt blocks for grazing animals.
- Public Health Programs
- Central to national iodine deficiency elimination programs worldwide via universal salt iodization (USI).
- Distributed in iodised salt form during humanitarian aid and nutrition supplementation campaigns.
Secondary Uses
- Industrial Uses
- Used in some industrial salt applications where iodisation is required for regulatory compliance or specific product formulations.
- Occasionally applied in water softening systems and brine solutions, although less common due to added iodine.
- Pharmaceutical Industry
- Used as a raw material in pharmaceutical formulations requiring sodium chloride with iodine content.
- Employed in preparation of oral rehydration salts (ORS) and electrolyte supplements with iodine.
- Cosmetics and Personal Care
- Occasionally incorporated into skin cleansing and bath salts for mild antiseptic benefits from iodine content.

Fatty Acid
Fatty acids are a group of carboxylic acids consisting of long aliphatic chains, which can be either saturated or unsaturated. They are typically derived from natural fats and oils through hydrolysis or saponification and appear as colorless to pale yellow liquids or solids depending on the chain length and degree of saturation. Fatty acids are fundamental building blocks in biochemistry and industrial chemistry, serving as raw materials in the manufacture of soaps, detergents, lubricants, cosmetics, plastics, and food additives. Their amphiphilic nature—containing both hydrophilic (carboxyl group) and hydrophobic (alkyl chain) components—makes them versatile for various chemical and industrial applications.
