  • Patent number: 8197878
    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 low sodium salt composition is made using a two step process. The first step includes making a modified chloride salt composition and the second step includes combining the modified chloride salt composition with sodium chloride to form a low sodium salt composition.

  • Publication number: 20120128826
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel and unique low sodium salt compositions and the methods used to make them. The low sodium salt compositions include a combination of sodium chloride and non-sodium chloride without modifiers, flavorants, or masking-agents. The unique low salt compositions of the invention are prepared by superheating the components to or beyond their melting points. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of the salt composition in the food industry.

  • Patent number: 7989016
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a low sodium salt composition and the method used to make it. More particularly, the invention relates to a two step method of making a salt composition. The first step includes contacting a chloride salt with a modifier to form a chloride salt product, mixing the product with a carrier to form a modified chloride salt solution, and spray drying the modified chloride salt solution. The second step includes contacting the dried modified chloride salt with sodium chloride, and grinding the mixture to form a salt composition. The composition includes a combination of sodium chloride and carrier modified chloride salt.
