Alternative Methods of Producing Iodized Salt | AbstractDue to the high incidence of iodine deficiency diseases (IDD) in the Philippines‚ iodized salt has become quite popular on the market. The aim of this research project is to discover different methods of making cheap and accessible iodized salt. Different gadgets were designed to mix the salt and potassium iodate (KIO3) adequately. The iodometric titration method was used to test for the iodine content of the manufactured salt. To prove
