Abstract
The present invention relates to a low sodium salt composition and the methods used to make it. The low sodium salt composition includes sodium chloride and a modified chloride salt composition. The modified chloride salt composition includes a homogenous amalgamation of chloride salt, food grade acidulant, and carrier, which does not contain sodium chloride. The low sodium salt composition is made using a two step process. The first step includes making a modified chloride salt composition and the second step includes combining the modified chloride salt composition with sodium chloride to form a low sodium salt composition.
Claims61
A method of making a modified chloride salt composition, comprising:
- a. contacting chloride salt with a food grade acidulant in an aqueous solution to form a liquid chloride salt product, wherein the chloride salt is not sodium chloride;
- and,
- b. adding a carrier to the liquid chloride salt product to form a liquid modified chloride salt product, wherein the liquid modified chloride salt product is a homogenous amalgamation of chloride salt, food grade acidulant, and carrier.
A method of making a low sodium salt composition, comprising:
- a. contacting chloride salt with a food grade acidulant and a carrier in an aqueous solution to form a liquid modified chloride salt product, wherein the chloride salt is not sodium chloride, wherein the carrier is added after the chloride salt and food grade acidulant are mixed, and wherein the liquid modified chloride salt product is a homogenous amalgamation of chloride salt, food grade acidulant, and carrier;
- and,
- b. blending the liquid modified chloride salt product with sodium chloride to form a low salt composition.
A method of making a low sodium salt composition, comprising:
- a. contacting chloride salt with a food grade acidulant and a carrier in an aqueous solution to form a liquid modified chloride salt product, wherein the chloride salt is not sodium chloride, wherein the carrier is added after the chloride salt and food grade acidulant are mixed, and wherein the liquid modified chloride salt product is a homogenous amalgamation of chloride salt, modifier, and carrier;
- b. drying the liquid modified chloride salt product to form a granular carrier modified chloride salt product;
- and,
- c. blending the liquid modified chloride salt product with sodium chloride to form a low sodium salt composition.
