Iodine is an important mineral that must be taken in a normal diet. The thyroid gland has to produce thyroid hormones, which have many important responsibilities in the body. The recommended daily intake of iodine for most adults is 150 mcg per day. In fact, people living in areas with little iodine in the soil, including European Union countries, are at risk for iodine deficiency. Iodine deficiency leads to swelling of the thyroid gland known as a goiter, a condition that causes fatigue, muscle weakness, and weight gain.
The number of iodine in vegetable oils varies depending on the climatic conditions of the region where it is grown and the maturation process of the seed. The saturation and unsaturation level of the oil and the drying feature of the oil are determined by iodine number analysis. In addition, the results of the hydrogenation process in the oil and whether another oil is mixed with the oil are determined by the iodine number analysis.
Iodine is mainly found naturally in the following foods: dairy products, seafood, seaweed, eggs, and some vegetables. The amount of iodine found in these foods depends on where the food was grown and how it was produced. Iodine can also come from iodized salt added during or after cooking.
