Cost-Effective Salt Reducer

GENEVA, SwitzerlandA natural, cost-effective salt enhancer, from Horphag Research Nutrition, significantly lowers the amount of salt in processed food. Horphag Research Nutrition, through exclusive partnership with a U.S.-based biotech company, has developed salt enhancer Salty-R, a product capable of reducing salt by 25 to 35 percent, depending on the application. The enhancer will be globally labeled as a natural flavor and is from a vegetable source, non-allergenic, contains no yeast extract or HVPs and is kosher. Furthermore, the product was independently tested on 80 French consumers in two locations and was demonstrated not only to enhance the saltiness of the product, but also flavor intensity and preference. When tested in combination with KCl, again the saltiness was enhanced and the off-notes were significantly reduced resulting in superior consumer preference.

The product has also been tested with excellent results in a variety of food applications including, snacks, ready meals, soups and sauces, dressings and may also improve the taste of isotonic beverages.
