LomaSaK-The tasty way of sodium reduction

摘要

Reducing salt intake is not an easy matter, since most of the salt consumed on an everyday basis is already contained in the food itself. About 75% of sodium consumed is from "hidden sources" in processed foods, 15 - 20% comes from unprocessed foods, and only a small proportion is added during cooking or at the table.The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends a maximum of five grams of salt a day, but the amount consumed in Europe is much greater than this.Consumers rate taste very highly and will accept healthier products only as long as they do not have to sacrifice palatabllity. Furthermore, in many applications the total exclusion of salt is not possible for technical reasons.
