Description
Written by a distinguished team of international authors, this collection covers key themes such as the health effects of excessive salt intake and the influence of salt on the quality of foods. The book begins with an overview of salt and the role it plays, then moves on to cover health risks and issues relating to monosodium glutamate. Subsequent chapters cover consumers, salt, and food quality, consumer attitudes to salt intake and health, and consumer attitudes to low-salt food products. Offering practical strategies for reducing and replacing salt in food products, the book discusses the technological functions of salt in food products, bitter blockers and herbs to replace salt.

Description
Concerns have grown that consumption levels of salt are well above those needed for nutritional purposes and that this can lead to adverse effects on health, in particular cardiovascular disease. Consumers are increasingly looking to reduce their salt intake, making salt reduction a priority for food manufacturers. This is not straightforward, though, as salt plays an important role in food preservation, taste and processability. Written by a team of international experts, Reducing salt in foods provides a unique review of current knowledge in this field.This book is divided into three parts and discusses the major issues concerned with salt reduction and how it may be achieved. Part one reviews the key health issues driving efforts to reduce salt, government action regarding salt reduction and the implications of salt labelling. Consumer perception of salt and views on salt reduction and are also discussed. The second part focuses on the technological, microbiological and sensory functions of salt and strategies that can be taken to reduce salt. The final part of the book outlines strategies which have been taken to reduce salt in particular food groups: meat and poultry, seafood, bread, snack foods, dairy products and canned foods.Reducing salt in foods is an essential reference for health professionals, governments and food manufacturers.
