Potassium Pro® Ultra Fine Potassium Chloride - a New and Unique Sodium Reduction Ingredient

Potassium Pro® Ultra Fine Potassium Chloride is one of Cargill Salt’s newest, most unique sodium reduction ingredients. Potassium chloride, a healthful salt substitute, can be used by food companies that want to lower sodium and boost potassium levels in the food products they manufacture.

Due to its extra fine crystal size, Ultra Fine Potassium Chloride provides a variety of functional benefits beyond just sodium reduction and potassium enhancement. Not only does it deliver a salty flavor, but it also dissolves faster than standard granulated salt, delivers a smoother mouthfeel, adheres more effectively, and provides more consistent blendability.

Potassium Pro® Ultra Fine Potassium Chloride has the potential to reduce sodium up to 50% in certain applications. One recent prototype developed by Cargill Salt significantly reduced sodium in a Chili Lime Popped Chip by 29%. This tasty snack provided 120 mg sodium/28 g per serving, compared to a leading brand’s 170 mg sodium/28 g serving. This label-friendly, flavorful snack also featured Sea Salt Flour, Whole Grain Quinoa, and non-GMO Clear Valley® High Oleic Sunflower Oil.

This unique sodium reduction ingredient is also ideal for a wide variety of food applications such as seasoning blends, margarines and butters, powdered beverage mixes, and other snack foods.
