 Iodine - Supplements
Iodine is a trace mineral that is primarily concentrated in the thyroid gland.
Because iodine is needed for synthesis of thyroxin (one of the thyroid hormones involved in regulating metabolic rate), proper iodine intake is required for optimal function of the thyroid gland.
Iodine is generally considered safe up to levels of about 1-2 milligrams (about 10-15 times the amount that we actually need).

 Stability of iodine in iodized salt used for correction of iodine-deficiency disorders. II
The iodine content was calculated using a calibration curve established by a series of spiked samples that covered the range from 5 to 250 mg of iodine per kilogram of salt.
Iodine losses over six months of storage ranged up to 100%, indicating that within the 12-month trial period, essentially all of the iodine added to the sample disappeared from high-density polyethylene bags, which are effectively open to the atmosphere.
Although the loss of iodine cannot be clearly correlated with any specific impurity on the basis of the present study, it is clear that the use of highly purified salt would improve the stability of iodine in most cases.

 Stability of BioDiesel and the 'Iodine Value'
The Iodine Value is not determined by measuring the stability of the fuel, rather it is determined by measuring the number of double bonds in the mixture of fatty acid chains in the fuel by introducing iodine into 100 grams of the sample under test and measuring how many grams of that iodine are absorbed.
Iodine absorption occurs at double bond positions - thus a higher IV number indicates a higher quantity of double bonds in the sample.
The commonly used measurement for this property, Iodine Value, should be reasonably understood as only a rough guide to a process that is better understood by examining the chemical makeup and breakdown process involved.

 ARS | Publication request: The Iodine Value and Biodiesel
The iodine value has been related to various biodiesel fuel properties including cold flow, oxidative stability, and formation of engine deposits.
However, the use of the iodine value suffers from several significant disadvantages, which are related to its unsatisfactory specificity in taking fatty acid structure and composition of mixtures into account.
The development of such an index could have implications for the use of the iodine value in fatty acid chemistry in general.

 Gatlin et al., June 2002   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Experiment 1 was designed to establish the rate of decline for linoleic acid and iodine value of pork fat during the late fattening phase following a dietary reduction.
These results indicate that reduction of dietary PUFA co ntent had the desired effect of lowering 18:2 content and iodine value of pork fat and that significant alterations could be elicited in as little as 6 to 8 wk of feeding.
The reduction of dietary linoleic acid resulted in a 2 iodine value unit decrease per week, and this rate may likely be increased with supplementation of an even more saturated fat source and(or) lengthening the period in which the fat source is fed, especially in pigs with a backfat depth of < 18 mm.

The process is accelerated by high temperature, ultraviolet light and some divalent metals (3).  Hydrolytic rancidity occurring mainly in oil extracted with water is an enzyme catalysed reaction in which fats in the presence of water are hydrolysed to give glycerol (a trihydric alcohol) and free fatty acids (3).
The percentage free fatty acid, peroxide and acid values were determined by the method of Davine and Williams (14).  The iodine value was determined by the method of Strong and Kock (15), the saponification number by the procedure of Williams (16) while the unsaponifiable matter was obtained by the method of FAO (17)
The saponfication number was highest in fried (163.0 ±2.60) and lowest in raw (161.3 ± 2.92) oil extracts.  These values would indicate that the samples contain a large number of fatty acids of low molecular weight and hence useful in soap industries and in the manufacture of lather shave creams (33).
