Estimating the term…
The present invention relates to a novel NaCl salt substitute agent free of aromatic flour and comprising at least one 5′-nucleotide yeast extract, preferably containing at least 1% of 5′-nucleotides relative to the solids content of the yeast extract, and a mixture of low-sodium potassium and ammonium salts, and to the use thereof as a salting agent. It also relates to the use of 5′-nucleotide yeast extract, preferably containing at least 1% of 5′-nucleotides relative to the solids content of the yeast extract, for the off-flavour masking effects thereof and/or for enhancing the salty taste and/or for reducing the amount of low-sodium potassium and/or ammonium salts.
A salt substitute agent free of aromatic flour, wherein the agent comprises:
(canceled)
A method for masking the off-flavours of a mixture of low-sodium potassium and ammonium salts, preferably potassium and/or ammonium chlorides, and/or for increasing the salty intensity, said method comprising the step of adding a yeast extract and 5′nucleotides, and preferably at least 1% of 5′nucleotides relative to the dry solids content of the yeast extract, without adding aromatic flour.
A method for reducing the quantity of a mixture of low-sodium potassium and ammonium salts, preferably potassium and/or ammonium chlorides, said method comprising the step of adding a yeast extract and 5′nucleotides, and preferably at least 1% of 5′nucleotides relative to the dry solids content of the yeast extract, without adding aromatic flour.
