Salt containing carotene and iodine and processing method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides salt containing carotene and iodine and a processing method thereof for solving the technical problems, so that people can get vitamin A conveniently. The salt containing the carotene and the iodine comprises the iodine, the salt and the carotene in a weight ratio of 20-60: 900,000-1,200,000: 1-500. The salt containing the carotene and the iodine is prepared by adding the carotene into the salt so as to provide a substance for people to take the carotene. The carotene, which is a precursor of the vitamin A, can be converted into the vitamin A according to the requirement of a human body under the catalysis of in vivo enzyme, without a poisoning phenomenon caused by the excessive intake of the vitamin A. The edible salt containing the carotene and the iodine is a new approach for supplementing the vitamin A.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an edible carotene iodized salt and a processing method thereof. Background technique [0002] One of the world's four major nutritional deficiency diseases is vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin A deficiency can lead to many diseases, especially in pregnant women and children. [0003] Most of the vitamin A required by the human body is converted from carotene (mainly β-carotene) in the diet.

In developed countries such as Europe and the United States, animal foods account for a large proportion of people's dietary structure, and 1 / 2 to 2 / 3 of the vitamin A needed by the body still comes from the transformation of β-carotene; in developing countries, people People's diet structure is mainly based on plant foods, and vitamin A is more dependent on the transformation of carotene. [0004] At present...
