Salt of the Earth appoints A&B Ingredients as exclusive US distributor
04 Dec 2017 --- Salt of the Earth Ltd., Israel, has appointed A&B Ingredients Inc., as its exclusive distributor of Mediterranean Umami for the US and Canadian markets. This is the second distribution agreement signed in 2017 as Salt of the Earth builds the global sales infrastructure for its all-natural and clean-label ingredient for reducing salt intake in processed foods. Mediterranean Umami is an all-natural ingredient designed for clean-label sodium reduction and enhancing a great umami flavor profile. Based upon a proprietary blend of vegetable extracts and sea-salt, it allows for significantly reduced sodium – up to 45 percent in various food products. With Mediterranean Umami food manufacturers can eliminate the use of MSG and yeast extracts. Being on-trend and highly effective, it was recently awarded an IFT17 Food Expo Innovation Award at this year’s Institute of Food Technologists annual meeting. "We are excited to partner with A&B Ingredients for the US and Canadian markets,” says Dovik Tal, CEO for Salt of the Earth. “There is a strong demand for sodium reduction and natural products in these large and dynamic markets, with increasing regulation from both the FDA and Health Canada to support sodium reduction. A&B Ingredients has a unique focus on clean-label solutions combined with strong technical support and competence, making them a natural choice for this partnership. We hope to offer Mediterranean Umami to new clients that seek natural sodium reduction solutions and flavor enhancement.” “Mediterranean Umami is a groundbreaking ingredient delivering an incredible umami flavor profile while being all-natural and clean-label, allowing food companies to develop tastier and healthier products,” notes Gil Bakal, CEO for A&B Ingredients. “It is a perfect fit for our product portfolio and market focus.

Food Ingredients News Spotlight on salt (Part 2): Overcoming reformulation challenges
15 Feb 2018 --- A large challenge for all salt replacer products is the clean label trend. Consumers are demanding that only products should be used which are available in their own kitchen cupboard. Most of the salt replacers use potassium chloride to replace the sodium chloride, but potassium chloride has not the image to be an ingredient from the kitchen cupboard. Looking at the nutritional value of potassium chloride it is clearly beneficial to use it instead of sodium chloride as most consumers have a lack of potassium in their diet while eating too much sodium. As a result of this also the WHO recommends increasing the potassium intake in the daily diet while reducing the sodium intake.
