KaliSel – the K+S KALI GmbH Food Grade Potassium Chloride
The high-purity, food-grade potassium chloride produced by K+S KALI
GmbH is called “KaliSel”. This brand name will be used to market potassium
chloride KCl FCC, FAO, WHO, E 508 in its already proven, excellent
quality.
KaliSel is high-purity potassium chloride (KCl) from natural sources. In many
segments of the food industry KCl is used as a substitute for sodium chloride
(NaCl), as a taste enhancer, thickening agent, stabiliser or preservative for
the production of a great variety of foodstuffs. At the Salt Reduction Europe
2011 conference in London, 16 – 17 February 2011, K+S KALI GmbH will
introduce its new brand for the first time.
With KaliSel, K+S KALI GmbH offers an outstanding, yet cost-effective solution
for salt substitution in food. The reason: The two vitally important minerals
KCl and NaCl are, from a chemical point of view, closely related. Beyond
that, KaliSel provides the body with necessary potassium, which is essential
for many metabolic processes.
Sodium chloride, commonly known as salt, is a vital nutrient, and is essential
for many important bodily functions. However, The World Health Organisation
(WHO) considers the average salt consumption in the western world to
be much too high.
The pressure on food producers to reduce the salt content of their products
has therefore increased considerably. All over the world scientists are in
volved in the search for alternatives, in order to at least partially replaceNaCl in food, without compromising product qualities.
