Abstract
The article looks into the main problems of determination of iodine trace amounts in multivitamins by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), i.e. spectral overlaps attributable to macro-components, and the background effect of organic compounds. The article suggests potential ways of solving these problems. It was shown that there was a minimal overlap of iodine spectral lines by emission lines of multivitamins macro-components at the non-priority wavelength of 182.276 nm. The iodine detection limit (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were experimentally determined for ICP-AES at different wavelengths. It was demonstrated that LOD and LOQ of iodide ion were much higher in solutions containing a complex organic and multi-element matrix then in water solutions, which calls for the use of spiking in iodine assays. A comparative analysis was performed in which the content of iodine was determined in the multivitamin product Multi-tabs Junior by ICP-AES and by the reference method of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). It was demonstrated that the increase in plasma power to 1500 W, the use of spiking which minimizes the background interference of organic compounds, and the use of non-priority wavelength (182.276 nm) make it possible to obtain results of iodine determination in mulitivitamins by ICP-AES which are comparable to the results obtained by the reference method.

Summary
В качестве объектов исследования использовали образцы поливитаминного препарата Мульти-табс Юниор с номинальным содержанием йода 135,0– 217,5 мкг/табл. Измерение содержания йода проводили путем сравнения эмиссии испытуемых растворов с эмиссией стандартных растворов иодид-иона с концентрациями 10, 25, 50 мкг/л методом прямой калибровки. Стандартные растворы готовили следующим образом: 0,1 мл раствора стандартного образца иодида аммония с концентрацией иодид-иона 1000 мг/л помещали в мерную колбу вместимостью 100 мл, доводили объем раствора до метки водой деионизированной, тщательно перемешивали. Раствор нагревали на ультразвуковой бане при 70 °С, затем фильтровали и переносили в мерную колбу вместимостью 100 мл, доводя объем раствора до метки 0,5 % раствором гидроксида аммония. Используемых в методе прямой калибровки, в колбы вместимостью 100 мл добавляли соответственно 0,10; 0,25; 0,5; 0,75 и 1,0 мл стандартного раствора иодида калия с концентрацией 1000 мг/л, доводили объем раствора водой деионизированной до метки, тщательно перемешивали. При использовании метода добавок фильтрат делили на три части по 25 мл, одну часть использовали в качестве испытуемого раствора, в другие части добавляли 0,175 и 0,35 мл соответственно стандартного раствора иодида калия с концентрацией 1000 мг/л
