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 modified chloride salt composition may be combined with sodium chloride to form a low sodium salt composition. The modified chloride salt composition may be enhanced to increase particle size.
Claims18
A method of making a modified chloride salt composition, the method comprising:
- a. contacting chloride salt with a food grade acidulant in a first aqueous solution to form a liquid chloride salt product, wherein the chloride salt is not sodium chloride;
- 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;
- c. drying the liquid modified chloride salt product to form a granular modified chloride salt product;
- d. contacting the granular modified chloride salt product with a second aqueous solution to form a wet granular modified chloride product;
- and
- e. drying the wet granular modified chloride salt product to form an enhanced modified chloride salt product.
