Israel-based sodium reduction solution provider Salt of the Earth has presented its Umamix salt reduction solution across a variety of food and liquid applications.
Umamix is a salt reduction ingredient that claims to lower sodium levels by up to 45%. Umamix is a proprietary savory mix of sea-salt and vegetable extracts with high umami content with distinctive flavor.
This proprietary ingredient can help food manufacturers retain the salty flavor in foods while maintaining the low sodium levels in the final products.
Umamix is vegan, kosher and highly soluble and is free of artificial ingredients or MSG. The ingredient helps food companies to adhere to global sodium standards in processed foods.
Salt of the Earth specializes in sodium-reduction solutions made from natural Red Sea salts.

This proprietary blend of sea salts and a natural vegetable extract with distinctive umami flavor can be used for sauces, salad dressings, pizza toppings, Bolognese-style meat sauces, lasagna and others. Umami-Essence Sea Salt holds a kosher certification and is a high soluble, vegan ingredient.
