Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Salt for use The present invention relates to salt substitutes, particularly salt substitutes for use in low sodium diets. do.

It is well established that sodium ions can be Evidence of danger to human health when ingested in excess of amounts linked to hypertension and vascular disease Regarding...many studies have investigated the recovery of the system when sodium ion intake is reduced. and normalization. As a result, it can be used as a substitute for sodium chloride in the diet. Many formulations have been proposed to maintain food palatability. These excesses Many of the previous formulations contain on the one hand potassium rum, ammonium, lithium and calcium. is based on the replacement of sodium cations by ions, and on the other hand chloride ions, Substituted by anions such as phosphate and glutamate.

Some of these include the broad salt-like taste response normally obtained with sodium chloride. The sodium chloride taste reaction that does not satisfy the taste is not only the taste from salt, but also the strong taste. intensity), persistence and aftertaste It is a complex reaction including r taste).

Many current compositions are based on potassium chloride instead of sodium chloride. For example, B. Eisenstadt's U.S. Patent No. 3.860.732 primarily Salt substitutes containing potassium chloride are listed. In addition to being bitter, excess potassium Long-term use of may lead to complications in the gastrointestinal tract, heart or muscles .

Ammonium chloride, used alone or in combination with potassium chloride, reduces bitterness. Note that it is believed to have a It wasn't noticed. However, ammonium chloride is similar to that of potassium chloride. With a composition more desirable for use in salt substitutes for flavors from stronger salts than be. Avoids the bitterness problem known in the industry and avoids ammonium chloride ammonium chloride-based substitute to prevent the formation of ammonia gas It is desirable to add salt.

But long If the components of this composition are expressed on a weight basis, the amount of ammonium chloride is less than the amount of disodium chloride. The acidity of this composition based on the presence of citrate ions The taste would also be expected; furthermore, this composition is rather rich in sodium ions and may be undesirable for use in sodium-limited amounts.

Main plate seat base! The salt substitutes of the invention are preferably substantially free of sodium ions and Large amounts of ammonium chloride, reducing the bitterness of ammonium chloride when salt substitutes are used. one or more small effective amounts to suppress and also prevent the generation of ammonia gas. several pH adjusters, and less salt to suppress acidity when salt substitutes are used. It comprises an effective amount of sugar.

The present invention contains three essential components. The first is large amounts of ammonium chloride.

The second essential component is usually produced by ammonium chloride when salt substitutes are used. chloride, which acts to suppress the bitterness and further prevent the production of ammonia gas. One or more pH adjusting agents present in a smaller amount than the amount of ammonium. The third necessity component is present in the composition when only ammonium chloride and pt+ modifier are present in the composition. It is a small and effective amount of sugar that works to suppress the acidity that normally occurs.

Ammonium chloride is present in large amounts in the salt substitutes of the present invention, and the salt substitutes provide Responsible for flavor from salt. Generally speaking, from about 40% to about 55% by weight of the composition Ammonium chloride can be used in an amount of % by weight, preferably about 50% by weight. .

In order to suppress the generally bitter taste of ammonium chloride, To prevent the generation of ammonia gas resulting from the use of Seed pHtl! Use a preparation. put) 1 preparation used in the salt substitute of the present invention The amount of ingredients is less than the amount of ammonium chloride used. This type of pH adjuster An effective amount is considered to be in the range of about 20% to about 30% by weight of the total composition. available. pH adjustments contemplated for use alone or in combination with the present invention A type of stabilizer that can be ionized in water and adjusts the pH of the resulting composition. Alkali metal salts and alkaline earth metal salts of acids that reduce for use The anion chosen does not detract from the taste from the salt provided by ammonium chloride. It should be relatively small in size. The anion part is a relatively strong mineral acid (e.g. (e.g., phosphoric acid) and relatively weak organic acids (e.g., tartaric acid). Ru. Phosphate ions are preferably small in size and are produced from relatively strong acids. It has been found that phosphate ions are particularly useful. Generally speaking, about 25 Weight % amounts of such pH regulators have been found to be particularly suitable. -Base Blends of potassium phosphate and potassium bitartrate have been found to be particularly useful. It was done. Generally speaking, the pHtFi adjuster or agents used are It should yield a pH value of about 3.7 to about 4.0 when dissolved in water.

The third type of essential component of the present invention is that ammonium chloride and a pH adjuster are A sugar that works to suppress the generally sour taste that would result if used in It is. Examples of sugars that can be used include natural types (e.g., sucrose, xistrose, fructose, etc.) and synthetic substances (e.g., aspartime) be caught. Sucrose taste masks the preferred salt in the resulting salt substitute composition Sucrose was found to be particularly effective because it is not as noticeably sweet as .

It is recognized that this component may be present in an amount of about 20 to about 30% by weight of the total composition.

The following examples illustrate some embodiments of the invention.

A mixture of this salt substitute, water, chicken broth and matshu potatoes is mixed at the level of the salt substitute. The sample was prepared by concentrating 1% by weight of the sample. Solutions containing no salt substitutes, chicken broth and mackerel The pH values of the Tush potatoes were 5.8, 6.4 and 5.9, respectively. commercially available The following results were obtained in comparison with salt substitutes.
