Popis: Considering that iodine is highly volatile and has low solubility in water, it is utilized as an antiseptic in its complex form (iodophor) with a carrier material. Herein, we prepared the polysorbate 80-iodine complex and investigated its properties. In the presence of 0%, 0.01%, 0.1%, and 1% polysorbate, Pseudomonas putida NBRC 100650 growth was inhibited at 75, 75, 50, and 25 ppm iodine, respectively, indicating that high concentrations of polysorbate 80 enhanced the antibacterial activity of iodine. Absorption spectra of the mixtures of polysorbate 80 and iodine were analyzed; we observed that two peaks at 287 and 350 nm, derived from triiodide ions, shifted to the longer wavelength side in the presence of 0.1% and 1% polysorbate 80. Further, when 1% polysorbate 80 was added to the mixture of soluble starch and iodine, the peak around 580 nm arising from the amylose-iodine complex disappeared, indicating that polysorbate 80 captured iodine from the starch-iodine complex. We also found that polysorbate 80 retained iodine for approximately 4 months and prevented its volatilization; moreover, the mixture did not lose its growth inhibitory activity upon storage for approximately 4 months. Collectively, our data indicated that polysorbate 80 firmly retains low concentrations of iodine and that the polysorbate 80-iodine complex can serve as an antiseptic that can be stably stored for a long time.
