Abstract

Currently, IDD (Iodine Deficiency Disorder) is a problem that still requires attention from the Indonesian government. IDD problems can be overcome by adding iodized salt to daily food. However, the quality of consumption salt produced by small industries in Indonesia is still relatively low in terms of the even distribution of iodine in it. This study aims to develop a simple process to increase the uniformity of iodine distribution in salt. The variables studied were the concentration of potassium iodate solution (KIO₃) which was sprayed using a sprayer and the stirring time. This research consists of: (1) raw material analysis; (2) main research and (3) product analysis. The main process is carried out by stirring the salt in the helical ribbon mixer. The observed response was the level of homogeneity of the iodine distribution. The highest degree of homogeneity of iodine distribution was found in the addition of 7.5 mL H₂O₂/kg salt with 60 ppm KIO₃ in it, and the stirring time was 5 minutes. The experimental results show that the amount of KIO₃ used (and its interaction with other factors) affects the degree of homogeneity of iodine distribution in salt products.
