Potassium iodide is a permitted food iodine fortifier. Can be used for table salt, the dosage is 30~70mg/kg; the dosage in infant food is 0.3~0.6mg/kg
Potassium iodide is a permitted food iodine fortifier. my country stipulates that it can be used in infant food at a dosage of 0.3-0.6 mg/kg. It can also be used for table salt, and the usage amount is 30-70mL/kg. As a component of thyroxine, iodine participates in the metabolism of all substances in livestock and poultry and maintains heat balance in the body. If the body of livestock and poultry is deficient in iodine, it will lead to metabolic disorder, body disorder, goiter, affect nerve function, fur color and feed digestion and absorption, and eventually lead to slow growth and development.
Potassium iodide is the raw material for making iodides and dyes. Used as photographic photosensitive emulsifier. In medicine, it is used as expectorant, diuretic, goiter prevention agent and preoperative drug for hyperthyroidism. It is a cosolvent for iodine and some insoluble metal iodides. For livestock feed additives.
It is also commonly used as an analytical reagent, and is also used in the preparation of photographic photosensitive emulsifiers and in the pharmaceutical industry.
