Salt reduction
Hold the salt (and MSG)!
Are you looking to create healthier, ‘better-for-you’ foods with reduced salt and no MSG – and all with no compromise on the delicious taste and texture? Well, you’re in the right place.
We all know that health-conscious consumers are more aware than ever of what goes into their food and beverages. But reducing sugar, sodium, and fat in your products isn’t easy, and requires strong scientific know-how and deep application expertise to get it right.
With our unrivalled scientific foundation and broad portfolio of industry leading solutions, you can have the best of both worlds – all supported by application experts who ensure there’s no negative impact on your food’s sensory appeal. For example, with innovations like TasteElements® we’ll help you find alternative solutions to MSG as well as achieving salt reduction without compromising taste; and all in a label-friendly way.
Less salt, same taste
Consumers want the best of both worlds: less sodium in their food, but with no compromises on the great taste and eating experience.
Cleaner labels
You need to reduce the amount of artificial ingredients like MSG in your formulations as consumers study product labelling more closely.
Global support
Your products need to comply with legislation worldwide; but they must also feature compliant claims that trigger consumer preference.
