Food manufacturers need to lower sodium without losing the salt perception consumers expect.
R&D Focus
Micron-sized salt particles and sodium-reduction ingredients for food manufacturing.
Innovative Solution
MicroSalt uses salt particles roughly 100 times smaller than conventional crystals, increasing surface contact with taste receptors so less salt is needed.
Solution Effectiveness
The company reports that formulations can deliver the same salt perception with up to about 50% less sodium. It also reports more than 1.4 billion servings using its technology.
