Micronutrient deficiency
• Iron deficiency is the most common micronutrient deficiency in the
world affecting 2 billion people, 2 billion nearly people have
inadequate iodine nutrition, and approximately 250 million preschool
children are vitamin A deficient.
• About 2/3rd of under 5 years children, more than ½ of women in
reproductive ages including adolescents and pregnant women are
anaemic (NFHS- 3, 2005-06)
• Significantly higher prevalence in SC /ST population /clusters
• Micronutrient deficiencies account for about 7.3% of the global burden
of diseases.
• As per WHO, India falls under the category of severe public health
significance. (>40% Anaemia prevalence)
• Micronutrient deficiencies place a heavy burden on the health and
economy of nation
• 11 % Gross Domestic Product (GDP) lost in Asia and Africa as a result
of under nutrition

IODINE DEFICIENCY
In India, household coverage of adequately
iodized salt (83.2% in urban areas vs. 66.1% in
rural areas)
350 million people are at risk of IDD as they
consume salt with inadequate iodine.
Every year nine million pregnant women and
eight million newborns are at risk of IDD in
India.
Salt as a Carrier of Nutrients
Uniform consumption levels within a country/region
Cost
Well distributed in all food preparations
potential to quickly reach large populations without socio-economic
barriers
low potential for excessive intake
Double fortified salt is an innovative new concept of fortified food
product – deliver small but required amounts of iodine and iron to human
body through diet
The major problem is the interaction between iodine and iron which results
in a loss of iodine.

Loss of iodine in iodised salt
Iodide oxidation and iodate reduction leads to the formation of iodine:
2I- → I2 + 2e- ( oxidation )
2I5+ + 10e- → I2 ( reduction )
Solar sea salt contains magnesium and calcium chlorides as impurities, hydrolysis of
these salts in water produces an acid:
MgCl2 → Mg(OH)Cl + HCl ( in presence of H2O)
MgCl2 → MgO + 2HCl( in presence of H2O)
Decomposition of iodide or iodate :
4I- + O2 + 4 H+→ 2I2 +2H2O (presence of acid, sunlight and oxygen)
IO3- + 5I- +6H+→ 3I2 +2H2O ( at elevated temperature)
IO3- + 6 Fe2+ + 6 H+ → I- + 6 Fe3+ + 3H2O
IO3- +5I- + 6H+ →3I2 + 3H2O
Fe3+ + 2I- → 2Fe2+ + I2

CSMCRI Iodizing agent with improved stability
Key innovation:
• Reaction of iodine crystals and aq.alkali generates iodide –iodate couple in 5: 1 mole ratio and the use of resultant solution for preparation of iodized salt.
• Gastric juice would convert the latent iodine into its elemental form – more facile absorption by body.
• Process easier and cost effective .

Process simplicity.
A white coloured synthetic hydrotalcite of approximate formula
[Mg4.1±0.4Fe(III)(OH)10.2±0.7][CO3]0.5 .3H2O], as iron source for iron fortification.
Fortification of edible salt with a novel iron fortifying agent and iodizing agent has been developed
prepared cost effectively using synthetic hydrotalcite.
Process has been scaled up and optimized (30 gm to 3 kg) for fortifying agent)
CSIR-CSMCRI
Bioavailability and toxicity studies of DFS
The bioavailability study has been initiated with Govt. Medical college,
Bhavnagar. Prof. C.B.Tripathi, Head, Pharmacology Deptt, is carrying out the
study for which CSMCRI will give the DFS salt samples and assist in in vitro
study and they will help in in vivo studies( rats and human ).

Preliminary studies of bioavailability tested at Department of Pharmacology,
Government Medical college, Bhavnagar, using wistar rats.
The results indicated clearly that the iron contained in DFS prepared by this institute is more effective
than the other conventional iron fortified salt
Bioavailability of the iodine have been be conducted at Department of Pharmacology, Government
Medical college, Bhavnagar using 50 wistar rats and results are awaited.
The cost of fortification for fortifying salt to contain 1000 ppm of iron and 30 ppm of iodine works
out to be Rs. 1.5 per kg of salt.
