ALC-4 6×8 (Buflovak Division, Blaw-Knox Food and Chemical Equipment, Inc., Buffalo, N.Y.), at a steam pressure of 25 psig and drum speed of approximately 1.2 rpm and gap clearance of approximately 0.25 inches. Comparing the number of comments made relating to the relative saltiness of the two compounds, the S&P Salt Composition sample could be concluded to be more salty. Rice flour appears to the present inventors to be somewhat superior to other flours, due to the high degree of whiteness of the present preferred salt composition. Each serving contains 140 mg of sodium or less. A significant difference was found between the samples. Nos. A modified chloride salt composition comprising: 15% to 90% by weight of potassium chloride; 10% to 90% by weight of sodium chloride; 0.1% to 5% by weight of food grade acidulant; and 10% to 40% by weight of vehicle, wherein the vehicle is maltodextrin, and the modified chloride salt comprises at least one homogeneous particle comprising potassium, sodium, the food grade acidulant and the vehicle. Other salt compositions may also be used in alternate embodiments including cationic salts of lactates and the like. In the preferred method of making the present salt composition, the cereal flour, or perhaps in this case even a cereal starch or a combination thereof, is used as a modifier to mask the off-flavors of KCl alone and the masked KCl in the dried mixture is then co-ground with NaCl that has not been previously mixed with the modifier. This procedure preferably involves a Rewet agglomeration system, wherein a dry mixture of potassium chloride, rice flour and citric acid are conveyed to an agglomeration chamber. This step, Step 1, produces a Modified Potassium Chloride (“MPC”) that is generally free of the typical bitterness associated with potassium chloride and is also generally free of savory or other foreign flavors. Immediately below is a comparison that shows how different the flours are in comparison to the starches. It is generally accepted that eating too much salt is a significant risk factor in developing high blood pressure, itself a cause or contributing factor in the rising incidence of heart disease, one of the world's most deleterious diseases. Elk Grove, Ill. 60007). 3. The potato starch proved to be a difficult modifier to extrude and it is also considered to be quite expensive relative to other modifiers. FIG. The product dried easily and sheeted cleanly into very smooth homogenous flakes. of drying time. It can withstand relatively high pressures and has sufficient structural rigidity to minimize sagging or deflection. With a very low sodium content, a simple and natural ingredient list and a solid macronutrient balance, this food is a great pick for dogs who need a significant reduction in their dietary sodium. Find resources and tips for reducing the amount in your diet while keeping the flavor. To identify the availability of low-sodium salts from as many countries as possible, initial keywords and country name will be combined for a Google advanced search. First of all, cereal flours are generally less expensive than the isolated starch products that are generally isolated from cereal grains or other plants such as, for example, potatoes. Approximately 250 g. of potassium chloride (Nutri-K®, Rhesis Inc., 235 Snyder Ave., Berkeley Heights, N.J.) was added to the hot water with constant stirring. The low sodium salt composition includes sodium chloride and a modified chloride salt composition.

The low sodium salt composition includes sodium chloride and a modified chloride salt composition. While there were no significant differences reported between the samples, Sample C reported to have a relatively higher salt intensity. A triangle test was set up for evaluation (30 judgments) for each test. In particular, the invention relates to the combined processing of sodium and potassium chloride to produce a low sodium salt composition. Assisting in reducing Sodium levels for all the family. Low sodium salts/salt substitutes Sea salt is a salt which is harvested from Sea, ~ 95% of it is sodium chloride but in addition, it contains around 84 other minerals. Because salt and any substitutes therefore are essentially treated as commodity products within the food industry, cost of preparation is a significant factor that relates directly to cost effectiveness of any resulting product of any process for making salt substitutes that are used as substitutes for common salt. One of these preferred processes includes first making modified potassium chloride by mixing from about 45 to about 85% by wt potassium chloride, most preferably about 82% by weight potassium chloride, from about 10 to about 20% by wt of rice flour, most preferably about 16.5% by wt, from about 0.5 to about 3.0% by wt of citric acid, most preferably about 1.5% by wt of citric acid, and a variable amount of water to form a mixture. The mixture was then conveyed into the throat of the twin-screw extrusion barrel and heated to a temperature of 248° F. (120° C.) during extrusion, with a screw speed of 300 rpm. Furthermore, it is believed that the materials removed from the cereal flours, when they are processed to make starches, especially the proteins fraction, assist significantly in masking off-flavors generally associated with KCl. reduced-salt, potassium salt, calcium salt and the like) or used itself to modify another word (e.g. 5. Binding agents used or suggested by Popplewell et al. The use of SOLENA salt with 30% potassium salt in the composition (and low in sodium) helps to fulfill WHO recommendations. Extrusion may also allow the rice flour to be able to be solubulized in cold water, enhancing the rapid solubility of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. 2. The KCl is mixed with the masking agent and then dried. The aqueous slurry or mixture is further heated to a desired consistency/viscosity and then drum dried under optimum conditions (described in detail in the Examples 3-5). 2. Each serving in this product contains less than 5 mg of sodium. A conditioning cylinder is often included to introduce water into the dry ingredients and allow for pre-hydration of the Ingredients prior to the extrusion barrel. The attributes of concern greatest were saltiness, potato flavor, aftertaste and overall acceptability. A mesh size range of, say, 8 mesh to 100 mesh means the particles fall through an 8 mesh screen and are retained on a 100 mesh screen; a mesh size of −100 mesh means the particles pass through a 100 mesh screen. Specific salt … Both have a trace amount of magnesium carbonate. Therefore, the flour products, especially rice flour, which is non-allergenic and is more effective with respect to enhanced flavor masking and process ease.
