element of cooking. Due to actions taken by the different health care organizations‚ people are being more and more aware of the importance of using iodized salt. People are looking forward to buy a product on which they can rely about their need of iodine. This calls for determining the consumer characteristics of our company. This report includes all the characteristics of its consumers. I think these things will highly benefit the organization. 1.2. Problem and purpose: The topic of the report

If your goiter is due to an iodine deficiency‚ then obviously you will need to correct this deficiency. Many people with thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions do have such a deficiency‚ which can be determined through a 24-hour iodine loading urine test (or you can get a general idea of whether a deficiency exists through an iodine patch test). If it’s determined that you have an iodine deficiency‚ then it will be necessary to begin supplementing with iodine‚ which is what I did when I was

into body heat and muscular energy. The thyroid gland produces hormones from the thyroid tissue cells called triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) which regulates our metabolism and oxygen consumption of tissues. These hormones are comprised from iodine and amino acids from proteins. The pituitary gland controls the release of hormones from the thyroid gland. Deficiency of these hormones can affect all body functions. The thyroid gland also produces calcitonin‚ which participates in the regulation

Determination of Vitamin C by Redox Titration with Iodine Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is an antioxidant that is essential for human nutrition. Vitamin C deficiency can lead to a disease called scurvy‚ which is characterized by abnormalities in the bones and teeth. Many fruits and vegetables contain vitamin C‚ but cooking destroys the vitamin‚ so raw citrus fruits and their juices are the main source of ascorbic acid for most people. One way to determine the amount of vitamin C in food is to use a

The Reaction:2 The reaction I am studying is often referred to as an iodine clock reaction.’ A clock reaction is where the time taken to form a definite‚ small amount of a product at the beginning of a reaction is recorded to work out the rate. This reaction involves the oxidation of iodide ions to iodine molecules which are soluble in water and are visible as a pale brown clear solution. The formation of the iodine can easily be detected because all other species in the reaction mixture are

DISCUSSION Considered as moderately weak oxidizing agent‚ Iodine was used for the determination of strong reductants. Standard iodine solutions were found to have smaller electrode potentials as compared with the other oxidants‚ gaining them the advantage of imparting a degree of selectivity essential in the determination of strong reducing agents amid the presence of weak agents. Although regular re-standardization was essential for Iodine solution due to its lack of stability‚ it was still suitable

behind the Winkler method for DO analysis and (3) describe the sampling technique for the analysis of DO in water sample. In the Winkler method‚ or Iodometry‚ the dissolved oxygen is made to react with Iodide ion to yield Iodine which will be titrated afterwards with thiosulfate. Iodine is a moderately strong oxidizing agent making it useful for titrating strong reducing agents like dissolved oxygen. Iodide ion‚ on the other hand‚ is a weak reducing agent‚ and is the basis of determining the amount of

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is an antioxidant. The amount of vitamin C content in food can be found out by titrating with an oxidising agent‚ e.g. iodine. In the reaction‚ vitamin C is oxidised‚ while iodine is reduced to iodide ions. The endpoint is determined by the formation of blue-black starch-iodine complex when all vitamin C is oxidised and excess iodine is free to react with the starch solution added as indicator. Introduction Vitamin C is an important component of a healthy diet. A well-balanced
