Brief Description

Description :

The present invention is directed to provide a novel iodized salt that is iodized by- the mixture of iodide and iodate in 5:1 molar ratio is used for iodization of salt and is shown to be a source of latent elemental iodine that can be liberated from the salt under acidic conditions such as that which prevails in the stomach. The iodizing agent is stabilized in the salt by adjusting pH to be in the range of 7.5-8.0. The said iodizing agent may be prepared cost-effectively through the reaction of pure iodine crystals with a suitable alkali
