Sodium reduction
On a daily basis the world's population is faced with reports of health problems in which subjects such as increasing levels of obesity and heart disease are far too common. As a result consumers worldwide are looking more towards food processors to provide healthy food solutions.
One of the challenges in reducing sodium content in both meat and poultry products is that salt plays a key functional role in yield, flavor and shelf life. Simply cutting back on sodium chloride will have a detrimental effect to quality, while sodium reducing alternatives such as potassium chloride often result in bitter off flavors.
PURASAL® potassium lactate improves the quality of sodium reduced products while extending shelf life. Purac offers a range of potassium lactate products that can be used in sodium reduced products without negatively affecting flavor.
The PuraQ® Arome line is based on ferments that can be labeled as natural flavorings. PuraQ Arome NA4 is specifically developed to add a savory and salty taste to meat and poultry products, allowing producers to maintain flavors while cutting back on salt levels. PuraQ Arome allows for sodium reduction up to 40% while maintaining high quality of food products.
