Potassium iodate is a chemical compound majorly used in the food and healthcare industry. It is an oxidizing agent and catches fire if it comes in contact with reducing agents or combustible materials. It can be prepared by adding iodine to a hot, concentrated solution of potassium hydroxide. It can also be prepared by reacting a potassium-containing base such as potassium hydroxide with iodic acid.
Potassium iodate is used as an additive to raise herbage iodine levels. Potassium iodate is used for iodination of table salt to prevent iodine deficiency in humans. Iodine is an essential trace element; the thyroid hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine contain iodine. In areas where there is little iodine; iodine deficiency gives rise to goiter, which results in developmental delays and other health problems. In some regions, potassium iodate is used as a source for dietary iodine. It is a major ingredient in some baby formula milk. Potassium iodate is also used in the food industry for various purposes.
