AZ12 Sodium Reduction in Processed Foods

Have a look at our PowerPoint Introduction and Brochure describing deliverables, differentiators and case studies. Eight case studies can also be reviewed.

Objective

Sodium reduction is an important trend in many sectors of the food industry but represents a significant technical hurdle. There is active interest in lowering sodium content in processed foods, and flavour houses have been aggressive in presenting a variety of sodium-reduction solutions built into flavouring systems to produce low-sodium alternatives of their offerings.

CPL investigated alternative approaches to sodium reduction, including products with modified crystal structures and ingredients such as protein hydrolysates and yeast extracts that can compensate for reduced salt content. The primary focus of this study was yeast extracts

Method

The study was based initially on sources available to CPL including in-house databases, an extensive network of contacts (the CPL Value-Net) and other publicly available information.

Approximately 30 contacts were made within the industry, including flavour houses, food ingredients companies, food manufacturers and distributors.
