LOW SODIUM EMULSIFYING SALTS FOR PROCESSED CHEESE Sodium is a mineral found naturally in foods and also added to foods. A low-sodium diet is important to follow in order to control and maintain a healthy lifestyle. As a guideline one teaspoon of table salt contains 2,300mg of sodium and consumers typically eat more than 2-5 times more sodium than is recommended by dieticians. It is best to avoid foods with high sodium and it is therefore a growing trend to reduce the sodium content in food stuffs as much as possible. Processed cheese products contribute to sodium intake, from both emulsifying salts, as well as NaCl. The sodium content is listed on the food label, low sodium is defined as 140 mg of sodium or less per serving so when reading food labels, apply the information to your personal needs. CORINO LS has answered to consumer interest and the food industry’s request to deliver lower sodium ingredients to support better health. Reducing sodium in processed cheese products with functional phosphates is one of the up-to-date solutions being researched by CORINO dairy technologists.
