IMPROVED SALT COMPOSITION WITH LOW SODIUM CONTENT Russian patent published in 2025 - IPC A23L27/40 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to food additives. Method of making a salt carrier product with low sodium content, which contains less sodium per unit volume than an equivalent volume unit of sodium chloride, involves preparing an aqueous suspension of the salt carrier containing an aqueous solvent and a selected weight fraction of the mixture of solid particles. Mixture of solid particles contains a salt present in an amount in range of 3.9 wt.% and less than 25 wt.% of an aqueous solvent, and a carrier medium present in an amount in range between 2.77 wt.% and less than 25 wt.% of the aqueous solvent. Wherein the aqueous suspension of the salt carrier contains a salt in a combination with the carrier in amount of 10 wt.% to 36 wt.% of the aqueous suspension of the salt carrier. Aqueous suspension of the salt carrier is obtained by heating the salt, the carrier and water to temperature of 176 ± 10 °F (80 ± 12 °C) until water, salt and carrier essentially dissolve to moisture content of 1.2% to 5%. Further, said suspension is dried for: A) forming a carrier particle consisting of a carrier medium, and B) forming a plurality of salt particles with a size of less than 100 nm on the surface of the carrier particle.

EFFECT: invention enables to obtain a carrier product of a salt adhering to the carrier particles, with much smaller salt particles adhering to the carrier, which, in turn, improves the forces of electrostatic interaction, which help the salt carrier product better adhere to the food product and coat it compared to salts which do not stick to the carrier particle.
