potassium iodate supplier Manufacturer in Chennai india

Ennore india chemicals  high-quality potassium iodate meets the requirements of the Food Chemicals Codex for the manufacture of food (ingredients and additives) and processing aids. It is an effective oxidizing agent and has applications in food manufacturing, for example, accelerating the fermentation reactions in bread dough that enable bread to rise on baking. 

It also has good stability and is approved as an iodine supplement. Iodine is essential for good health and is needed for effective thyroid gland operation, which affects the body’s metabolic and immunity functions. In the event of exposure to radiation, potassium iodate is also specified as a “thyroid blocking agent” to prevent uptake of radioactive iodine.

Applications

Potassium iodate is sometimes used for iodination of table salt to prevent iodine deficiency. Because iodide can be oxidized to iodine by molecular oxygen under wet conditions, US companies add thiosulfates or other antioxidants to the potassium iodide. In other countries, potassium iodate is used as a source of dietary iodine. It is also an ingredient in some baby formula milk.

Electronic Chemical

An iodine source, with enhanced stability, compared to potassium iodide, in addition to food to counter iodine deficiency.

Process Chemicals

Used with potassium iodide to generate iodine in situ for the synthesis of good-derivatives.
Impregnation of security papers as an anti-forgery treatment.

Product forms

 potassium iodate is available as a white crystalline solid.
