Cargill offers a range of innovative solutions such as Alberger® salt, potassium chloride or combinations to offer our customers choice in their salt reduction journey.
Alberger® Salt
Alberger® Salt is one of the only high-purity, food grade, flake salts. Its unique, “hopper” and “cubed agglomerate” shaped crystals, increased surface area, and low bulk density combine to offer a measurable advantage in terms of blendability, adherence, solubility and adsorption. Alberger® salt is available in a wide range of grades and screen sizes, a variety of anti-caking or additive-free.
Why Cargill Alberger® Salt?
- It is an easy sodium reduction solution, providing up to 53% lower sodium per volume vs. granulated salt.(FoodService)
- It may help food manufacturers use less salt in processed foods given the unique properties of adherence, dissolution, and bulk density.
- In topical applications, Alberger® Salt dissolves quickly to give a salty flavor burst.
- Enables you to buy less, use less, and waste less.
Potassium Pro® potassium chloride
Granular, food-grade, odorless, white crystalline salt with a typical saline-like taste, Potassium Pro® potassium chloride is a go-to solution for developing reduced-sodium food products while maintaining the functional benefits and flavors of salt.
Why Potassium Pro® potassium chloride?
- Available with a variety of anti-caking agents, various blend combinations, and various granule sizes.
- Good functionality:
- Texture & binding.
- Improves water holding capacity.
- Fermentation control.
- Salt substitute to help in salt reduction targets while retaining salty flavor.
- Ideal in a wide range of food applications such as cheese, margarine, beverages, seasoning blends, bakery and more.
Flake Select® Salt
The Flake Select® innovative product line leverages Cargill’s patent-pending compacting technology to combine and agglomerate ingredients. The resulting particles are homogeneous, low in bulk density, highly soluble, and provide superior adherence for topical applications when compared to dry blended or granulated products.
Why Flake Select® Salt?
- One of our solutions that helps in the salt reduction target by using potassium chloride.
- Wide variety of cuts & combinations to meet customer’s current and evolving needs.
- 3 product lines for sodium reduction, 1productline of sea salt.
- Supports supply chain efficiencies promoting convenience in customer’s operations
- Offers enhanced functionality:
- Solubility - resulting in increased surface area.
- Adherence - resulting in consistent topical application and cost savings.
- Bendability - due to inseparable particles.
- Lower bulk density - greater volume per weight (fills up the spice jar).
