Physiological food salt product

A physiological food salt product including an alkaline earth metal component, the product comprising:

• at least one hydrate form having the general formula MNH4Cl3×XH2O, wherein M represents Mg or Mg and Ca and X represents the number of molecules of water of crystallization and is in the range of 4 to 6, and further comprising:
• additives affecting primarily the taste of the product that comprise at least one of carbohydrates, polymeric forms of carbohydrates, spices, herbs, acidity regulators, glutamates, proteins, and protein hydrolysates.

A nutrient substance, a semi-finished product, a processed food product, a food portion, wherein a food salt product including magnesium ammonium chloride of the general formula:

• MNH4Cl3×XH2O, wherein M represents Mg or Mg and Ca and X represents the number of molecules of water of crystallization and is in the range of 4 to 6
• has been used, in solid form or in a solution, in at least one of processing and preservation of the nutrient substance, semi-finished product, processed food product, or food portion.

A method for preparing a food salt product containing an alkaline earth metal component, wherein an alkaline earth metal chloride and ammonium chloride are brought together in a solution form, wherein a precipitate is formed which contains one or several hydrate forms of an alkaline earth metal ammonium chloride, having the general formula of MNH4Cl3×XH2O, wherein M represents Mg or Mg and Ca and X represents the number of molecules of water of crystallization and is in the range of 4 to 6, and the obtained precipitate is separated from the mother liquor,

• the solution form containing both magnesium chloride and calcium chloride to include calcium in the product.

A method for preparing a food salt product containing an alkaline earth metal component, wherein an alkaline earth metal chloride and ammonium chloride are brought together in a solution form, wherein a precipitate is formed which contains one or several hydrate forms of an alkaline earth metal ammonium chloride, having the general formula of MNH4C13×XH2O, wherein M represents Mg or Mg and Ca and X represents the number of molecules of water of crystallization and is in the range of 4 to 6, and the obtained precipitate is separated from the mother liquor,

• the solution form including KCl.

A method for preparing a food salt product containing an alkaline earth metal component, wherein an alkaline earth metal chloride and ammonium chloride are brought together in a solution form, wherein a precipitate is formed which contains one or several hydrate forms of an alkaline earth metal ammonium chloride, having the general formula of MNH4C13×XH2O, wherein M represents Mg or Mg and Ca and X represents the number of molecules of water of crystallization and is in the range of 4 to 6, and the obtained precipitate is separated from the mother liquor, and

• the pH of the mother liquor is adjusted by means of a hydroxide.
