Mineral Salts holds a Prominent Share in the Market Studied
Mineral salts, such as potassium chloride, magnesium sulphate, calcium chloride, and potassium lactate, among others, are widely used as SRIs, owing to their widespread availability and potential to replace normal salt in terms of its functionalities and taste. For example, Potassium chloride (KCL) is the most preferred SRI among mineral salts, due to its similar taste profile like salt (NaCl). Furthermore, food manufacturers use different mineral salts when they are formulating low-sodium or reduced-sodium products. This salt substitute provides a seasoning alternative for manufacturers looking to reduce sodium, while also maintaining flavor by using salts, like potassium chloride, to imitate salt (sodium chloride) in food products, which in turn boosting the market studied.
