The SodiumSense system functions in recipes just like salt and offers a 1:1 replacement ratio for most applications, and also may be used to help control microbial activity.
“With 43% of consumers checking product labels for ‘low sodium’ claims, sodium reduction is very important to manufacturers,” said Janice Johnson, applications and technical services leader — Salt, Cargill. “The SodiumSense system is far superior to any other sodium-reduction product on the market today, and as a formulator, I’m thrilled to finally have an effective, cost-effective tool in my belt for working with customers to reduce the amount of sodium in their products while maintaining the taste and appearance consumers demand.”
