FOOD IODINE [4 records]

Record 1 2018-06-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Food Industries
  • Dietetics
  • Collaboration with the FAO
DEF

A food with nutrients added to improve its nutritional value.

CONT

Examples of fortified food include salt fortified with iodine, and B-group vitamins and iron added to milled cereals.

OBS

[Health Canada, the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations consider the terms "enriched food" and "fortified food" as synonymous and use them interchangeably, whereas some authors make a distinction between the two terms. In that case,] enriched foods have nutrients added to them that were lost during processing. [On the other hand], fortified foods have had nutrients added that are beyond what the foods originally contained.

Record 2 2017-11-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Algae
DEF

Any of various large brown seaweeds(orders Laminariales and Fucales) and especially laminarias of which some are used for food especially in China and Japan and as sources of alginates, iodine, and medicinal substances.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Algues
DEF

Ensemble de plantes marines, en particulier d'algues brunes (fucus, laminaires), que l'on récolte sur le rivage aux marées basses d'équinoxe ou lorsqu'elles ont été rejetées par la mer, dont on extrait l'iode, la soude, le mucilage et dont on se sert pour amender les terres et pour faire des litières.

Record 3 2012-10-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Food Industries
  • Dietetics
CONT

Fortification of food staples with iron, vitamin A, iodine and other micronutrients is the most cost-effective, sustainable option for eliminating micronutrient deficiencies. Salt iodization, reaching an additional 1. 5 billion consumers worldwide since 1990 and sparing millions of babies from mental retardation each year, is testimony to how successful fortification programmes can be.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Industrie de l'alimentation
  • Diététique
CONT

Une autre solution présentant un bon rapport coût-efficacité consiste à enrichir les aliments de base que consomme la plus grande partie de la population et dont les méthodes de production se prêtent à l'enrichissement, comme les huiles ou la farine.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Industria alimentaria
  • Dietética
CONT

Alimentos enriquecidos: El enriquecimiento de alimentos - el agregado de uno o más micronutrientes esenciales para un alimento con el propósito de evitar o corregir una carencia de esos nutrientes en las poblaciones beneficiarias - es un método para lograr el objetivo de eliminar o reducir de manera sustancial las carencias importantes de micronutrientes.

Record 4 2005-02-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
  • Food Additives
CONT

If grown in iodine-rich soil, foods including asparagus, green peppers, lettuce, lima beans, mushrooms, pineapple, raisins, spinach, summer squash, Swiss chard, turnip greens, and whole wheat bread may provide good sources of dietary iodine.

CONT

An iodine removal cartridge containing an anion-exchange resin was installed to remove the iodine from the drinking water prior to consumption. To obtain the levels for a maximum consumption of 3 L of water/day, and assuming the food iodine at 0. 25 mg/day, the total water iodine concentration must be below 0. 25 mg/L of water.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
  • Additifs alimentaires
CONT

Dans de nombreux pays où le goitre est fréquent, les autorités ont entrepris l'iodation du sel, stratégie qui a permis de réduire les troubles liés au déficit en iode. Cet iode est ajouté au sel sous forme d'iodure de potassium, mais l'iodate de potassium s'est avéré plus stable en climat chaud et humide. Le sel iodé constitue alors la principale source d'iode alimentaire.
