Abstract

Iodine deficiency disorder (IDD) is one of Indonesia’s most serious health problems since it directly or indirectly affects the physical and non-physical qualities of individuals in the community, including intellectuality and mental retardation. All age groups are at risk of IDD. According to reference data, iodine deficiency causes approximately 140 million IQ (intelligence quotient) points to be degraded. Besides, 42 million people live in endemic areas, while the iodine requirement for normal growth in adult humans is 120–150 g/day. In this case, rice is the staple food of almost 50% of the world’s population, especially Indonesia, with data on rice consumption in Indonesia currently around 139.5 kg/capita/year or around 200 g/day. On the other side, iodine as a fortifier in the form of a solution with the addition of a binder atomized with a fogger coupled with a rice thresher is one of the breakthroughs that can be taken significantly to improve the nutritional quality of the community in iodine endemic areas. This research, therefore, aims to observe the effectiveness and factors causing micronutrient degradation in iodine-fortified rice to overcome IDD, which leads to hidden hunger. This research used a literature review method obtained from secondary data. The results of 25 research journals reviewed showed that iodine fortification in rice could use dextrose and sodium bicarbonate binders. The recommendation of adding iodine fortification in rice at one ppm is considered effective and sufficient for the daily needs of adult humans. The organoleptic test results of several research journals also revealed that iodine fortification of one ppm in rice using dextrose and sodium bicarbonate binders indicated that the taste, aroma, and quality of rice from the rice were acceptable and showed the potential for iodine fortification in poor rice to have a positive path.
