- Benefits
- MicroSalt® achieves the same saltiness as traditional salt with half the sodium by reducing the salt particle size by 100x smaller than regular salt particles.
- MicroSalt® dissolves virtually immediately, delivering a higher sense of saltiness with less salt.
- MicroSalt® is ideal for dry topical applications like chips, tortilla chips, nuts, crackers, popcorn, and many other snacks.
- MicroSalt® tastes exactly like salt because it is salt
- MicroSalt® eliminates salt precipitation during distribution for improved flavor consistency
- MicroSalt® Full Flavor & 50% Sodium Reduction
A revolutionary patented technology that delivers natural salt with 50% less sodium.
- Up to 50% less sodium by weight. Reduces sodium intake without compromising flavor.
- It is the world´s smallest grain of salt. The great taste of natural salt, because that´s what it is.
- Helps foods comply with National Academies of Sciences & voluntary draft USDA guidelines to reduce sodium intake.
- Works with most dry surface or fat based applications.
- Improved product adhesion due to the micro size of the salt particles.
- All Natural, Kosher and Gluten Free. (NON-GMO version available)
- Due to our micron-sized particle, our taste buds recognize each MicroSalt® crystal to be twice as saltier than a regular salt crystal, so you can use less sodium chloride.
- Helps meet the Smart Snacks for School requirement encouraged by the USDA.
- No added salt substitutes, no bitter aftertaste.
- Particle Size Information
- 90% of the micron-sized salt crystals measure from 0.2 to 0.6 μm (microns).
- MicroSalt®´s magic: the 0.2 μm sized particle can achieve the same saltiness level as one of 2 μm for a fraction of the mass. Hence, the saltiness peak levels achieved.
- This micron-sized particle has higher adhesion caused by electrostatic forces. Hence, the particle attaches perfectly well to the product, driving minimum precipitation. It has the challenge that it needs to be applied evenly as it will stay stuck to the first surface that it touches.
- The 0.2 μm sized particle is extremely small and light. Maltodextrin is just acting as a carrier aid to help this particle weight so it can be handled, avoiding clouding.
- Maltodextrin use as a carrier does not substantially add to the nutritional formula. It only adds 60-80 mg of carbohydrate per 28 g of product.
- MicroSalt® is as hydrophilic as regular salt particles. No anti-caking ingredient was added.
