What is food salt?
In the food industry, salt is used for flavour, preservation, and as a functional ingredient. It protects food from microorganisms and plays a role in processes such as curing and the production of cookies, cheese, meat, and fish products. For these applications, there is a high demand for purity and food safety.
Depending on the application, food salt varies in purity, grain size, and form. Some food salts are fine and pure, suitable for everyday use in the kitchen. Others are coarse or highly pure, for specific applications in the hospitality or food industry. The right choice depends on the dish, the process, and the desired result.

The functions of salt in food
Salt does much more in food than just add flavour. The main functions:
- Flavour
Salt enhances and balances flavours and is therefore one of the most widely used ingredients in the kitchen and the food industry.
- Preservation
Salt protects food from microorganisms and thereby extends its shelf life.
- Texture and structure
In bread, for example, salt contributes to gluten formation and the firmness of the dough, and regulates the action of yeast.
- Process function
In pickling, fermenting, and the production of cheese, meat, and fish products, salt plays an indispensable role.
