Reduce Salt Content
We review your recipes, take out unnecessary ingredients and reduce the salt and fat content.
Keep it simple
DMRI has demonstrated a potential for substantial salt and fat reduction, without negative effects on sensory properties, safety, shelf life or yield.
By experience, many industrial recipes suffer from excessive use of additives and ingredients. Often, many of them can be removed by carefully adjusting the recipe and manufacturing process.
Reformulation of your recipes cleans up your product label, yielding a number of advantages:
- Compliance with regulatory limits – authorities gradually lower accepted levels of salt, fat and additives. How do you respond?
- Meeting consumer demands – when consumers start to worry about additives or allergy, do not let them down.
- Improving marketing claims – do not miss the chance of getting ahead of competitors introducing “less…” or “free from…” product claims.
- Lowering the cost of ingredients and additives – basically, what is saved is earned!
