Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A novel substitute for sodium salt is described that comprises deactivated yeast and a salt compound selected from NaCl, a potassium salt, an ammonium salt, a magnesium salt and mixtures thereof. Also described are a composition comprising this new substitute and the use of this substitute in breadmaking and in prepared dishes.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for reducing the amount of NaCl in breadmaking, comprising a step of totally or partially replacing NaCl with a NaCl substitute, said NaCl substitute consisting of deactivated yeast and NaCl, and optionally a cereal extract and/or a breadmaking improver selected from the group consisting of ascorbic acid, emulsifiers, stabilizing-thickening agents, enzymes and mixtures thereof, wherein the NaCl/deactivated yeast ratio is between 1 and 5.7. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the NaCl is totally replaced with the NaCl substitute. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the yeast belongs to the genus Saccharomyces. 4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the yeast belongs to the species Saccharomyces cerevisiae. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cereal extract is a malt extract. 6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the breadmaking is the production of traditional French bread. 7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the deactivated yeast is present in an amount in the range from about 0.4 to 1 wt. % relative to the total weight of flour in breadmaking. 8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the deactivated yeast is present in an amount in the range from 0.6 to 0.8 wt. % relative to the total weight of flour in breadmaking. 9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the deactivated yeast is present in an amount of 0.7 wt. % relative to the total weight of flour in breadmaking. 10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein NaCl is present in an amount in the range from about 0.9 to 1.6 wt. % relative to the total weight of flour in breadmaking.
