Definitions

  • the present invention is related to a composition to be used in food products, nutritional preparations, nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals. More specifically, this invention is related to a composition with low or no sodium contents to be incorporated into food or the other abovementioned products, which has identical organoleptic properties to sodium chloride.
  • Clinical trials of moderate reduction of sodium chloride intake show a cause-effect relationship with arterial pressure, without detection threshold; the previous effect has been validated for different ages, sex, ethnical origin, base arterial pressure and body mass.
  • potassium chloride has been demonstrated to replace sodium chloride as seasoning, both at a culinary level as in industrial food production processes.
  • Potassium chloride has no relation with arterial pressure and therefore, from a medicinal and nutritional perspective, is a good substitute of sodium chloride, having simultaneously some organoleptic characteristics that are similar to those of sodium chloride, e.g. a salty though less intense taste.
  • potassium chloride has also negative organoleptic attributes, mainly a bitter taste that onsets along with the salty taste with a little delay (after taste).
  • M. Koruda (US Patent 6,783,788) claims the formulation of a seasoning comprising potassium chloride and other additional products such as a sugar alcohol, sucrose, monosodium glutamate and inosinic and guanylic acid derivatives, the function of which is bitterness masking.
  • E. Vasquez (US Patent 6,743,461) proposes the name of "table salt substitute” for a blend based on calcium chloride, potassium salts, citric acid, an additional product (filler), using rice flour to this end, and a combination of flavoring agents among which ginger oil and others stand out.
  • W. R. Bonorden (US Patent 6,541,050) uses the name of "salt taste enhancing composition" for a mix of potassium and sodium chlorides that includes other sulfate derived salts (potassium and calcium) and calcium and magnesium chlorides.
  • R. J. Kurz (US Patent 6,015,792) claims the use of some phenylalanine derivatives for masking or suppression of unpleasant tastes such as the bitterness of some products used in food manufacturing.
  • nucleotides as additives is regulated in the maximum concentration to be added into food products. If the desired bitterness-masking effect does not occur within this limit, the procedure will have null value.
  • the present invention provides a solution to these problems.
  • the main object of the present invention is to provide a composition with low or no sodium content, with organoleptic characteristics identical to those of sodium chloride and thus being able to replace sodium chloride in its use as food seasoning.
  • Another preferred object of the present invention is to achieve said organoleptic characteristics similar to those of sodium chloride with mixtures having different proportions of sodium and potassium chloride and the use of natural additives that also constitute or are part of usually consumed foods.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a composition in which its flavor and other functional characteristics such as those mentioned earlier are stable in time, for prolonged time periods at room temperature.
  • the preferred aspect that characterizes the present invention is the discovery of the fact that the bitter taste of potassium chloride can be masked with specific proportions of acids and sweeteners mixtures, in such a way that the organoleptic characteristics of the mixture make it undistinguishable from sodium chloride.
  • Flavor-masking effects are well known in food technology, especially in literature related to the interaction of flavors and senses. It is well known that there are relevant interactions between the five basic tastes (salty, sweet, acid, bitter and umami), and that these interactions depend on the concentration of both products (masker and masked flavors). Flavor intensity also depends on particular subject's factors, such as age. There is a general flavor selectivity and intensity loss effect in human beings as age increase.
  • bitter taste masking it is known that masking products identified with basic flavors such as sucrose (sweet) and citric acid (acid) cause individually an increase of the detection threshold of a bitter product such as, for example, quinine hydrochloride.
  • the sensory detection threshold of the bitterness of quinine hydrochloride increases when this compound is mixed with increasing concentrations of citric acid or sucrose.
  • the relationship between the detections threshold and the sucrose or citric acid concentration has an exponential form with an exponent around 0.4, which means, for example, that the concentration of the masking product should be raised around six times.
  • One additional aspect of this invention is the fact that combinations of the cited products, besides attenuating completely the bitter taste, intensify the salty flavor of potassium chloride. Both effects occur simultaneously and at the same proportion between acid and sweet masking compositions, as will be evidenced in the application examples.
  • the formulation that is an object of this privilege contains potassium chloride in a proportion comprised within the range from 5 to 100% by weight, individual organic acids or combinations of one or more of them in a proportion comprised within the range from 0.5 to 20% by weight, and a sweetener in a proportion comprised within the range from 0.5 to 18% by weight.
  • this composition in the food field can be widened to the drink and nutritional preparation fields, and also to the formulation of the so-called nutraceutical products and those pharmaceutical products that use sodium chloride with sensory purposes.
  • Potassium chloride is dry-mixed with different proportions of sucrose and a combination of ascorbic and tartaric acids with a 2:1 ratio, thus preparing sixteen samples having different proportions of the indicated ingredients.
  • Each sample is separately mixed and homogenized, and subsequently it is subjected to a comparative bitterness and saltiness test by a previously trained sensory panel. Both organoleptically determined bitterness and saltiness were adjusted to a scale from zero to one hundred points, wherein the maximum value corresponds to the most intense sensation.
  • Each sample is evaluated by triplicate and the number indicated in the table is the arithmetical average of the three evaluations. The composition for each sample and the evaluation results are presented in the following table.
  • bitter taste A similar situation is observed for the bitter taste, starting from a value of 84.5 for potassium chloride alone.
  • proportions of acid and sweetener increase, a point is reached where bitterness is comparable to that of sodium chloride alone.
  • the effect reverts and the product becomes bitterer.
  • Example 1 A similar trend to Example 1 can be observed in this Example, i.e. when incrementing the additive proportion (sweeteners and acids) a point is reached where the bitter taste is maximally inhibited simultaneously with a maximum reinforcement of the salty taste, which corresponds to sample 22 in this Example.
