  • Patent number: 11051539
    Abstract: Making a salt substitute includes forming a salt substitute precursor, providing the salt substitute precursor to a centrifuge, and centrifuging the salt substitute precursor to yield a salt substitute in the form of a solid and a centrate. The salt substitute precursor includes water, a chloride salt, a food grade acid, and an anticaking agent. The chloride salt includes potassium chloride. A pH of the salt substitute precursor is between 2 and 4, and the salt substitute precursor is a saturated or supersaturated solution, a suspension, or a slurry. The salt substitute includes a chloride salt, a food grade acid, and an anticaking agent. The salt substitute includes potassium chloride and is in the form of a crystalline solid including at least 95 wt % of the chloride salt, up to 1 wt % of the food grade acid, and up to 1 wt % of the anticaking agent.

  • Patent number: 9629384
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a low sodium salt composition and the methods used to make it. In particular, the invention relates to the combined processing of sodium and potassium chloride to produce a low sodium salt composition. The low sodium salt composition includes sodium chloride and a modified chloride salt composition. The modified chloride salt composition includes a homogenous amalgamation of chloride salts, food grade acidulant, and carrier.

  • Patent number: 9549568
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a low sodium salt composition and the methods used to make it. The low sodium salt composition includes sodium chloride and a modified chloride salt composition. The modified chloride salt composition includes a homogenous amalgamation of chloride salt, food grade acidulant, and carrier, which does not contain sodium chloride. The modified chloride salt composition may be combined with sodium chloride to form a low sodium salt composition. The modified chloride salt composition may be enhanced to increase particle size.

  • Patent number: 9247762
    Abstract: A salt substitute including an inorganic food-grade salt, an organic food-grade acid as an acidulant, and edible plant tissue. The inorganic food-grade salt and the organic food-grade acid are dispersed throughout the plant tissue. The inorganic food-grade salt may include sodium and non-sodium salts. The salt substitute is a particulate solid, and may include one or more additives.
