The Asia Pacific sodium reduction ingredient market size is estimated to register a significant CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing preference for sodium reduction ingredients in functional meals & nutraceuticals food products.
Sodium is commonly used as a necessary nutrient for the proper functioning of the human body. Various sodium-reducing substances are added to foods in order to lower excess salt levels in the body. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), excess salt in foods can cause serious health problems. Sodium reduction refers to lowering the salt level of food. Sodium reduction additives are used to lower the salt content of food items by either replacing the salt or partially decreasing the surplus salt.
Mineral salts, amino acids, and yeast extracts are some of the sodium decreasing substances. Trehalose, vegetable protein hydrolyzed, and nucleotides are also known as sodium reduction ingredients. Meat, dairy, bakery, confectionery, sauces, snacks, and spices use sodium-lowering additives. Thus, sodium reduction compounds are an important element of the food additives business, as they are responsible for either entirely replacing sodium or lowering the salt level in food items.
