According to World Health Organization (WHO), food containing sodium in excess is known to cause severe health disorders. An average intake of 1500mg to 2300 mg per day of sodium is considered to be tolerable. However, according to several researches conducted it is observed that Americans and Canadians consume about 3400 mg of sodium per day and is one of the major causes of several chronic diseases suffered by individuals living in the region. Thus, in order to reduce the overall consumption of sodium many companies are introducing several products that tend to act as sodium reducing ingredients. Some of the sodium reducing ingredients include mineral salts, amino acids and yeast extracts. It also includes trehalose, hydrolyzed vegetables protein and nucleotides. Sodium reducing ingredients are widely used in meat products, dairy, bakery, confectionaries, sauces, snacks and seasonings.
