Description
Summary:Increased consumption of sodium is considered as the leading cause of cardiovascular disease and hypertension. Processed foods like bakery products are considered as the main source of sodium intake. Regarding the high consumption ratio of wheat bread, it is counted as the main contributor of sodium intake by the European food Safety Authorization and World Health Organization. Consequently, its salt reduction is considerably important to postpone adverse effects induced by sodium. Salt is used in wheat bread as a technological and sensory improver. Different salt reduction strategies (e.g. sodium free mineral salts, hollow salts, uneven salt distribution, amino acids and plant based salt boosters) had been assessed to reduce the sodium content in wheat bread. Despite their potential efficiency to partially imitate the technological and sensorial characteristics of salt in wheat breads, challenges also existed which may restrict their consumption level. Considering the importance of wheat bread in our daily diet, its high sodium content and the critical role of salt in its technological characteristics this study is aimed to review the influence of different salt reduction strategies in wheat bread from technological perspective.
