THE EFFECT OF SELECTED SOFT DRINK MIXES ON THE GERMICIDAL PROPERTIES OF IODINE TABLETS, Volume 18, Number 14

Abstract

The germicidal effectiveness of tetraglycine hydroperiodide tablets was evaluated. The tablets were found to be effective as a germicidal agent. The method used for packaging the tablets makes dispensing them difficult in the field, and permits a reduction in iodine concentration when stored for extended periods. The effect of soft drink mixes on the germicidal action of iodine tablets was also investigated. It was found that soft drink mixes containing reducing agents (Vitamin C) destroy the germicidal properties of the tablets.
