Researchers find a way to make food taste salty with less sodium chloride.

Want a low salt diet but no compromise with the taste? Researchers have found a new way that can make your food taste salty but with less sodium chloride which is linked to poor   health.

It's a stealth approach, not like buying the ' reduced salt' option, which people generally don't like. If we can stair-step people down, then we increase health while still making food that people want to eat said a researcher.

The researchers took into account, salt blends that use less sodium chloride but include other salts like calcium chloride and potassium chloride.

Calcium and potassium chloride do not have those adverse effects on health. Potassium can help reduce blood pressure. Although, they aren't that great in taste. Potassium chloride tastes bitter, hence people really don't like it.

The research had an electronic tongue to check how much of the substitute salts could be added for sodium chloride before people object of the food being not tasty.

Using the e-tongue and panels, they found that a blend using approximately 96.4% sodium chloride with 1.6% potassium chloride and 2 % calcium chloride was the ideal reduction.

They had a higher reduction when they added only calcium chloride, getting acceptable rates with a combination of 78 % sodium chloride and 22 % calcium chloride.

This combination of the 2 salts did not significantly differ compared to 100 % sodium chloride but when we added potassium chloride, consumer acceptance decreased, claimed the researcher.
