All of our clients in the food industry are becoming more and more focused on improving the health profile and characteristics of the products they offer.

At Healthinfoods Bioactives, we develop cutting edge ingredients designed to give additional health properties to conventional food products, while at the same time reducing ingredients that are not recommended for certain groups and don’t provide nutritional value to consumers.

These ingredients include sugar, salt and allergens, such as those derived from soya. That said, when we help to reformulate a product, the challenge is to make it healthier without taking away its organoleptic properties and while maintaining its flavour and texture.

Today we want to talk to you about one of our most sought-after developments in this field, a product that fills us with pride: Zero Salt, a dietary solution that we have developed and produced. This product allows for the reduction of sodium and monosodium glutamate without sacrificing any flavour.

As many of you are already aware, both glutamate and salt enhance the flavour of food. Nowadays, both of these products are facing more limitations at the most advanced levels of food legislation due to the negative effects they can have on health when consumed in certain quantities.

With Zero Salt, we’ve managed to reduce or totally eliminate its sodium content (depending on the manufacturer’s criteria), which is known to be responsible for increased blood pressure, and reduce or eliminate monosodium glutamate (E-621). The best bit: we’ve been able to do all of this without losing any flavour.

By using Zero Salt, our clients improve the health profile of their products, achieving a reduction in consumer’s average daily intake of these additives, something particularly important for populations considered “at risk” of developing cardiovascular conditions, hypertension, obesity and coronary diseases, but of great benefit for all consumers.

Zero Salt is a customisable ingredient and can be adapted to a vast array of foods. We successfully use it for meats, ready meals, snacks and preserves, amongst others.

If you would like to find out more, our specialists are always delighted to give you more information about the advantages of using Zero Salt and can provide a full assessment of your product in order to create a tailormade solution.
