MicroSalt® delivers bold salt flavor with 50% less sodium using patented micron-sized particles for greater surface area and taste bud contact.
About
MicroSalt® is a patented low-sodium salt technology designed to deliver full salt flavor using 50% less sodium. Unlike traditional salt, MicroSalt® features micron-sized crystals that dramatically increase surface area, enabling more immediate contact with taste receptors and a stronger flavor perception. This makes it an ideal solution for snack food manufacturers, high fat foods, low water activity foods and formulators looking to reduce sodium content without sacrificing taste, texture, or label appeal. MicroSalt® adheres more effectively to food surfaces, reducing waste and improving flavor consistency. Backed by GRAS status, Kosher certification, and compliance with FDA and Food Chemical Codex standards, MicroSalt® supports cleaner labels and healthier products for today’s nutrition-conscious consumer.
