Usually, the most common edible salt in daily life is iodized salt, but in fact there are many types of edible salt. In addition to raw salt and salt, there are special salts that add various trace elements or nutrients and flavor substances based on refined salt. Here are some of the types of edible salt available on the market.
crude salt
The use of natural conditions drying, compact structure, gray color, purity about 94% of the particles, this salt is used to pickle pickles and fish, meat and so on.
Salt
Raw salt is used as raw material, purified by salt brine, vacuum evaporation, dehydration, drying and other processes, color white, powdery, sodium chloride content of 99.6% or more, suitable for cooking seasoning.
Special salt low sodium salt
Normal salt, high sodium content, low potassium content, can easily lead to dietary sodium, potassium imbalance, and lead to the occurrence of hypertension. The low sodium salt has a reasonable ratio of sodium and potassium, which can lower blood cholesterol and is suitable for patients with hypertension and cardiovascular diseases.
Iodized salt
Add a certain proportion of salt of iodide and stabilizer. In order to prevent iodine deficiency, a certain amount of potassium iodide and potassium iodate are added to common salt. This is one of the most scientific, direct, effective, simplest, and most economical ways to prevent iodine deficiency. It is mainly developed for the iodine supplementation of residents in iodine-deficient areas and can prevent endemic goiter and cretinism. Consumption of Iodized Salt China sets the concentration of iodized salt in iodine deficiency areas: 1/50000 to 1/20000; the United Nations World Health Organization recommends 1/100000 concentration of iodized salt to the ward; iodized salt of iodized salt in the Federal Republic of Germany At 1/25000, it is the country with the lowest concentration of iodized salt in the world; the concentration of iodized salt in the United States is 1/10000, which is the highest concentration of iodized salt in the world.
Add selenium salt
Selenium is the "king of cancer" in trace elements in the human body. Selenium salt is added on the basis of iodized salt by adding a certain amount of sodium selenite. Selenium is also an essential trace element in the human body. It has important functions such as anti-oxidation, delaying cell aging, protecting cardiovascular health and improving human immunity. Selenium is also an antidote to harmful heavy metals in the body. Animal liver, kidney and marine products are good sources of selenium, and the selenium content of plant foods is greatly affected by the selenium content in the place of production and in soil and water. In the elderly, patients with cardiovascular diseases, people with small appetite, you can choose to add selenium salt. Add a certain percentage of salt of selenide. To prevent Keshan disease, Kashin-Beck disease has a certain effect. The selenium salt produced in China contains sodium selenite 15/1000000.
Zinc salt
The use of zinc gluconate and refined salt mixed evenly, can treat children due to lack of zinc caused by growth retardation, short stature, reduced intelligence and the elderly loss of appetite, accelerated aging and other symptoms. Zinc is the "flower of life." The zinc salt is made from iodized salt and then added in accordance with national standards. It is made of zinc sulfate or zinc gluconate, which is good for children's brain, improve memory and physical development, and prevents multiple zinc deficiency. The disease has a good effect. Zinc, a trace element necessary for the human body, plays an important role in the growth and development of the human body, cell regeneration, maintaining normal taste and appetite, and can promote the normal development of sexual organs, enhance skin health, and enhance immune function. Zinc is mainly present in the meat and viscera of animals. The contents of zinc in nuts and soy foods are also abundant, while the contents of vegetables, fruits, and polished white rice are low. Diets that promote balanced consumption are generally promoted and rely on natural foods to supplement zinc. However, the rapid growth of children, pregnant women, people with low intake of food, vegetarians, and other people are likely to lack of zinc in the body. Zinc salts can be eaten by the above-mentioned people.
Blood serum
That is, adding iron salt. Iron salt content of about 8000ppm of salt. Usually obtained by adding an appropriate amount of iron iron sulfate enhancer such as ferrous sulfate. Iron salts are eaten by patients with iron deficiency anemia. Made of iron fortifier and refined salt. Iron deficiency anaemia and iodine deficiency disorders and vitamin A deficiency are listed as three major micronutrient malnutrition diseases that the World Health Organization, the United Nations Children's Fund and other international organizations have focused on, and have eliminated within a time limit. The incidence of iron-deficiency anaemia in China is very high. Iron-salt is added to a certain amount of iron-containing compounds. It can be used to prevent iron-deficiency anemia caused by iron deficiency in the human body and improve children's attention, memory and immunity. It is applicable to the iron-deficient people, especially the needs of infants, adolescents, women, and the elderly. The main components of iron salt are: iron content is 600-1000 mg/kg, and iodine content is not less than 40 mg/kg.
Calcium salt
The results of China's three national nutritional surveys show that people generally suffer from calcium deficiency in their diets. Children, pregnant women and the elderly are more severely deficient in calcium. The calcium salt is made by adding calcium compound on the basis of common iodized salt. It is suitable for all kinds of people who need calcium supplementation, can prevent osteoporosis, arteriosclerosis, regulate the balance of other minerals, and enzyme activation. The main components of the calcium salt are calcium content of 6000-10000 mg/kg and iodine content of not less than 40 mg/kg.
Antimony salt
In the table salt, fluoride compounds such as sodium fluoride are added to make the fluorine element 100 to 250 ppm salt. Applicable to low-fluorine areas, have a certain effect on dental caries. Suitable for children and teenagers.
Victoria B2 salt
In the refined salt, a certain amount of vitamin B2 (riboflavin) is added, the color is orange and the taste is the same as common salt. Regular consumption can prevent vitamin B2 deficiency. People who often suffer from oral ulcers may lack vitamin B2 in their bodies. Eating riboflavin salt (vitamin B2 salt) can improve this situation. Riboflavin in riboflavin salt also has important significance for the human energy metabolism process, and can promote growth and development. Vitamin B2 is mainly found in animal foods and may be lacking if it is eaten regularly. Vitamin B2 is yellow and soluble in water. If there is excess amount of vitamin B2, it will be discharged from the urine. There is no problem of excessive consumption and poisoning.
Sea salt
Mix the salt of sea cucumber raw flour by a certain percentage. Has the function of preventing filariasis.
Low sodium salt
We usually eat ordinary iodized salt, the main component of sodium chloride content of up to 95%, sodium ions can enhance the body's vascular surface tension, easily lead to accelerated blood flow, increased blood pressure. How can hypertensive patients not only ensure taste, but also consume less sodium ions? Low sodium salt is a new type of salt which is based on the needs of the human body and is suitable for reducing the sodium content in salt and increasing the content of potassium and magnesium. Low sodium salt is based on iodized salt, but the sodium chloride content is reduced to less than 65%, and then added a certain amount of potassium chloride and magnesium sulfate, mainly for kidney disease, hypertension, heart disease and other needs The special population that limits the sodium salt is consumed. Low sodium salts can adjust the balance of sodium, potassium, and magnesium ions in the body and have a certain effect on prevention and treatment of hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Because potassium chloride and magnesium sulfate also have a little salty taste, and potassium and magnesium are also essential elements of the human body, they are important for the health of the heart. In recent years, the World Health Organization has promoted the consumption of low sodium salts by all people. Low sodium salt produced in China, containing NaCl 65%, KCl 25%, MgSO 4 7H 210%. There are many varieties of low sodium salt produced in various countries of the world. The low sodium salt in the United States contains NaCl 50% and KCl 50%. In Finland, a new type of low sodium salt was developed in 1985, containing 57% NaCl, 28% KCl, and 412% MgSO4, and 2% of the amino acid α-cytolysin. In addition to flavoring, this cytolysin also reduces myocardial infarction and cerebral thrombosis.
Flavor salt
Adding sesame, pepper, spiced noodles, shrimp rice noodles, and prickly ash noodles to the refined salt can produce spiced spicy salt, spicy salt, sesame salt, shrimp salt, etc. with unique flavor to increase appetite.
Nutrients
It is a salt species newly developed in recent years. It is prepared by mixing a certain amount of moss juice in refined salt, which is evaporated, dehydrated and dried. It has the functions of preventing ulcers and preventing goiters, and contains various amino acids and vitamins. .
Balanced fitness salt
The inorganic potassium salt and sodium salt ratio in seawater is basically the same as that in human blood, and contains a certain amount of magnesium. Extracting these beneficial substances from seawater and adding refined salt can satisfy the body's various minerals. Demand for the purpose of achieving nutritional balance and fitness.
Natural crystal salt
The natural crystal salt is made from sea salt and keeps the composition closest to the human body in the ocean. In particular, it keeps inorganic salts and is rich in marine life elements such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, and iodine. The particles are crystal-like. Suitable for people in coastal areas. With the approval of the country, Guangdong is one of the two provinces that are allowed to produce natural crystal salt in the country and was welcomed by consumers in the early trials in some coastal areas.
