NuTek Natural Ingredients – Salt for Life 100 RF G3 Standard – 14510

NuTek Natural Ingredients – Salt for Life 100 RF G3 Standard – 14510 is an innovative sodium reduction solution developed for the food industry. Utilising rice flour as a carrier, this advanced salt replacer is designed for a 1:1 substitution of standard salt in recipes, enabling healthier product formulations without compromising taste or functionality.

Key features and benefits:

• Effective sodium reduction: Salt for Life 100 RF G3 supports up to 40% sodium reduction while maintaining the familiar salty taste consumers expect.
• Clean-label friendly: Composed of potassium salt and rice flour, it aligns with transparent labelling requirements.
• 1:1 salt replacement: Directly substitute standard salt in recipes, simplifying formulation adjustments and ensuring consistent results.
• Versatile applications: Suitable for use in snacks, baked goods, processed meats, ready meals, sauces, and dressings.
• Consistent quality: Delivers a reliable salt profile with stable performance across various applications and production processes.

Salt level adjustment example:

To achieve a target salt level of 0.9%, substitute standard salt with Salt for Life 100 RF G3 in the same amount. For example, if the usual salt level is 1.25%, reduce standard salt to 0.9% and add 0.35% of Salt for Life 100 RF G3 to maintain the desired flavour.

Alternatively, when reducing 40% of salt in a recipe containing 10 kg of standard salt, adjust the formulation to 6 kg of standard salt and 4 kg of Salt for Life 100 RF G3.

Suggested labelling: Potassium Salt, Rice Flour

Testing instructions:

NuTek’s salt replacers are produced using a patented process where potassium chloride (KCL) is dissolved in water with a carrier and a modifier (citric acid), then dried to form new crystals. This unique crystal structure minimises the bitter and metallic taste often associated with KCL.

These crystals perform well in liquids but require sufficient ionic strength or viscosity in the solution to stay intact. Without these conditions, the crystals dissolve completely, reintroducing the metallic taste linked with KCL. Therefore, applications like broths are not recommended.

Optimal testing conditions:

1. Do not dissolve in plain water: Avoid dissolving Salt for Life 100 RF G3 in plain water, as this can cause the bitter taste to return and does not reflect intended use.
2. Application-specific testing: Incorporate the salt replacer directly into the final product during real-use conditions for accurate taste assessments.
3. Late process integration: Add Salt for Life 100 RF G3 as late as possible in the production process, especially in applications like cheese production where dry salting is preferred.

By following these recommendations, food product developers can achieve precise salt reduction targets while maintaining high-quality taste and functionality.

Certifications:
