It doesn’t make sense to look at these two minerals separately, though, since they work in tandem throughout the body. The ratio of sodium to potassium in the diet may be more important than the amount of either one alone. Our Paleolithic hunter-gatherer ancestors took in about 11,000 milligrams (mg) of potassium a day from fruits, vegetables, leaves, flowers, roots, and other plant sources, and well under 700 mg of sodium. That’s a sodium-to-potassium ratio of 1 to 16. Today, we get more sodium (3,400 mg) than potassium (2,500 mg), for a ratio of 1.36 to 1. .

ABSTRACT DIXON, ELIZABETH MARIE. Whey Permeate
ABSTRACT DIXON, ELIZABETH MARIE. Whey Permeate, Delactosed Permeate, and Delactosed Whey as Ingredients to Lower Sodium Content of Cream Based Soups. (Under the direction of Jonathan C. Allen) The use of whey permeates as salt substitutes can help to decrease sodium and chloride intake, increase potassium, calcium and magnesium intakes and decrease hypertension risk. Five different whey permeates from 5 different manufacturers were analyzed with ICP for mineral content (Na, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn). Two permeates are powder and three are liquid. Lactose and protein content were also analyzed by Lactose/D-Glucose UV kit from Roche and BCA protein assay, respectively. Chloride and phosphate were measured spectrophotometrically. Basic tastes and aromas were quantified by a trained sensory panel. Based on the highest “salty taste” identified by the trained sensory panel, one liquid and one solid permeate were further investigated as sodium substitutes. The sodium content of the guideline solutions for comparing salty taste of the permeates were used to calculate the equivalent concentrations of salt and permeate for salty taste in aqueous solution. Two soup formulations were used to test the use of permeate as a salt substitute; one retorted, canned, condensed cream soup base, and one fresh cream soup base. Each formulation of soup was tested on a separate day by 75 consumer panelists who averaged between 20 and 30 years of age. Four samples were given each day 0%, 50%, 100% of the standard salt content in condensed soup, and permeate at a content calculated to be equal in salty taste to the standard salt content.

March 26, 2010 Carole Davis CoRExecutive Secretary of the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee Center of Nutrition Policy and Promotion U.S. Department of Agriculture 3101 Park Center Drive, Room 1034 Alexandria, VA 22303 RE: 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans Dear Ms. Davis and the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee: The American Meat Institute (AMI) is the nation's oldest and largest meat packing and processing industry trade association. AMI members slaughter and process more than 90 percent of the nation's beef, pork, lamb, veal, and a majority of the turkey produced in the United States. On behalf of AMI and its member companies, we appreciate the opportunity to comment on the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (or the Guidelines). AMI has and will continue to support the use of sound science as the foundation for nutritional public policy. AMI would like to commend the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (the Committee) for its structured approach in compiling the data, modifying proposed nutritional targets, and working with the food industry in a partnered approach to improve consumer public health. The health of our customers is the driving force in the production of meat and poultry products, not only with respect to improving the safety of meat and poultry products, but also in offering diverse nutritional products to consumers so they can make an educated decision in choosing the food that best fits their personal lifestyle and family needs. The following comments address specific concerns that require further clarification and/or additional consideration prior to finalizing the Guidelines. Sodium Plays an Important Role in Meat Production and Safety Salt or sodium chloride plays a critical role in the production of meat products -- whether used by large commercial processors, local butchers, or even within the consumer’s home -- to improve the flavor, texture, and safety of those products.

Artisanal Salt Production in Aveiro/Portugal - an Ecofriendly Process Carolina M Rodrigues1*, Ana Bio1, Francisco Amat2 and Natividade Vieira1,3
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Digital.CSIC Rodrigues et al. Saline Systems 2011, 7:3 http://www.salinesystems.org/content/7/1/3 SALINE SYSTEMS REVIEW Open Access Artisanal salt production in Aveiro/Portugal - an ecofriendly process Carolina M Rodrigues1*, Ana Bio1, Francisco Amat2 and Natividade Vieira1,3 Abstract Solar salinas are man-made systems exploited for the extraction of salt, by solar and wind evaporation of seawater. Salt production achieved by traditional methods is associated with landscapes and environmental and patrimonial values generated throughout history. Since the mid-twentieth century, this activity has been facing a marked decline in Portugal, with most salinas either abandoned or subjected to destruction, making it necessary to find a strategy to reverse this trend. It is, however, possible to generate revenue from salinas at several levels, not merely in terms of good quality salt production, but also by obtaining other products that can be commercialized, or by exploring their potential for tourism, and as research facilities, among others. Furthermore, with an adequate management, biodiversity can be restored to abandoned salinas, which constitute important feeding and breeding grounds for resident and migratory aquatic birds, many of which are protected by European Community Directives. The aims of this manuscript are to present a brief overview on the current state of sea salt exploitation in Portugal and to stress the importance of recovering these salinas for the conservation of this particular environment, for the regional economy, the scientific community and the general public. The Aveiro salina complex is presented in detail, to exemplify salina structure and functioning, as well as current problems and potential solutions for artisanal salinas.

Adoptable Interventions, Human Health, and Food Safety Considerations for Reducing Sodium Content of Processed Food Products
foods Article Adoptable Interventions, Human Health, and Food Safety Considerations for Reducing Sodium Content of Processed Food Products Abimbola Allison and Aliyar Fouladkhah * Public Health Microbiology Laboratory, College of Agriculture, Human and Natural Sciences, Tennessee State University, Nashville, TN 37209, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-(970)-690-7392; Fax: +1-(615)-963-5706 Received: 19 December 2017; Accepted: 26 January 2018; Published: 1 February 2018 Abstract: Although vital for maintaining health when consumed in moderation, various epidemiological studies in recent years have shown a strong association between excess dietary sodium with an array of health complications. These associations are robust and clinically signiﬁcant for development of hypertension and prehypertension, two of the leading causes of preventable mortality worldwide, in adults with a high-sodium diet. Data from developed nations and transition economies show worldwide sodium intake of higher than recommended amounts in various nations. While natural foods typically contain a moderate amount of sodium, manufactured food products are the main contributor to dietary sodium intake, up to 75% of sodium in diet of American adults, as an example. Lower cost in formulation, positive effects on organoleptic properties of food products, effects on food quality during shelf-life, and microbiological food safety, make sodium chloride a notable candidate and an indispensable part of formulation of various products. Although low-sodium formulation of each product possesses a unique set of challenges, review of literature shows an abundance of successful experiences for products of many categories. The current study discusses adoptable interventions for product development and reformulation of products to achieve a modest amount of ﬁnal sodium content while maintaining taste, quality, shelf-stability, and microbiological food safety.
