Abstract
A new, simple and rapid fluorimetric method is proposed for the determination of iodide in iodized table
salts based on the fluorescence exhibited by the ionic complex formed between AgI2- and the brilliant
green cation (ë
nm, ë
nm) at pH 3.0 and Ag+ concentration of 0.8
mg/L. The relationship between fluorescent response expressed as Fluorescence Intensity Units (FIU) and KI
concentration of standards in 20 g NaCl/L was linear in the range of 0.15 to 1.2 mg KI/L. The sensitivity
of the method was 300 FIU for 1 mg KI/L with a detection limit of 0.15 mg KI/L. The proposed method was
applied in commercial iodized table salts and the results obtained were correlated closely to those
obtained by the official method of the AOAC.
