  • Publication number: 20230165288
    Abstract: The objective of the current invention is to provide a composition that can be used for making bouillons, soups and gravies, and that is free from kitchen salt. Such composition has now been developed, preferably in the form of a solid or pasty cube, for preparing a bouillon, to which no kitchen salt has been added, and which contains a specific ratio of native starch and maltodextrin and/or glucose syrup. This ratio between these ingredients leads to a good quality composition that can be prepared in the same way as regular compositions for making bouillons that do contain kitchen salt.
