National food safety standard—
Determination of iodine in foods
1 Scope
This standard specifies methods for determination of iodine content in foods.
Method I—inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry is applicable to determination of iodine in foods.
Method II—redox titration is applicable to determination of iodine in algae and their products.
Method III—As(III)–Ce(IV) catalytic spectrophotometry is applicable to determination of iodine in grains, vegetables, fruits, beans and bean products, milk and milk products, meat, fish and eggs.
Method IV—gas chromatography is applicable to determination of iodine for food fortification purposes in infant formula and milk products, except for infant formula for special medical purposes and formula for special medical purposes.
Method I—inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)
2 Principle
Iodine in the specimen is extracted by tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide solution and determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer. The content of iodine in the specimen is determined through qualitative analysis with by qualification with the specific mass number (127) of the iodine element (mass-to-charge ratio, m/z) and quantitative analysis with the intensity ratio of mass spectrum signal ratio of the iodine element to the internal standard element in proportion to the concentration of iodine.
