  • 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: 9011963
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to salt compositions and methods used to make them. Embodiments may include methods for preparing salt compositions that include aerosolizing a melted salt composition to form droplets, where the droplets form rounded particles. Embodiments may further include solid compositions, including rounded salt particles, where the particles are formed by aerosolizing a melted salt composition. The particles can have semisolid interiors with void spaces.
