Salt reduction ingredient made with microsphere technology cuts sodium without compromising taste
23 October, 2012 Tate & Lyle, the global ingredients and food solutions provider, announces the global launch of a ground breaking, new salt reduction ingredient, SODA-LO Salt Microspheres, that tastes, labels and functions like salt because it is salt. With SODA-LO, food manufacturers can reduce salt levels by 25 to 50 per cent in various applications without sacrificing taste.
SODA-LO Salt Microspheres has been created using a patent-pending technology that turns standard salt crystals into free-flowing crystalline microspheres. These smaller, lower-density crystals efficiently deliver salty taste by maximizing surface area relative to volume. SODA-LO makes it possible to enjoy the same salt taste while consuming lower levels of salt. Because SODA-LO is made from real salt, it has none of the bitter aftertaste or off-flavours associated with some other salt compounds or substitutes.
"As public health advocates continue to call for a reduction in salt intake worldwide, studies show that consumers associate products labelled as low-salt as having inferior taste," said Andy Hoffman, Director of Health and Wellness Innovation, Tate & Lyle. "Having a salt reduction alternative that's made from real salt and delivers on that taste expectation could be the first step towards breaking that link in people's minds that a low-salt product is a bland one."
Tate & Lyle testing shows that consumers perceive parity tastes between products made with regular salt and foods containing SODA-LO Salt Microspheres. Furthermore, consumers reported no "off" tastes.
"Salt is a staple in food production not just because of taste, but function, as well. It acts as a preservative and texturizing aid, for example. Through advanced technology, Tate & Lyle has produced salt microspheres to give manufacturers an ingredient that functions as well as, if not better, than salt," said David Lewis, Director, Health and Wellness Product Management, Tate & Lyle.
SODA-LO Salt Microspheres has been tested and shown to work well in a wide variety of foods including baked goods, breading and coatings, salty snacks and work continues to assess its suitability in a number of other applications.
SODA-LO Salt Microspheres was recently recognised as one of the most innovative new ingredients at Food Ingredients South America. Its global debut in North America and Europe will be next month at SupplySide West between 5-9 November 2012 (Las Vegas, Nevada) and Health Ingredients Europe between 13-15 November 2012 (Frankfurt, Germany).
