SALT - ULTRAPURE VACUUM SALT (Food Grade, Sodium Chloride)

Product Overview

Food-Grade Sodium Chloride | min 99.8% NaCl | Vacuum-Evaporated | Free-Flowing

Ultrapure Vacuum Salt is a high-purity, food-grade sodium chloride (NaCl) supplied at a minimum of 99.8% purity (typical 99.90%), produced by the vacuum-evaporation (PVD) process. Vacuum salt is made by evaporating purified brine under vacuum, which yields a cleaner, whiter, more uniform crystal than solar or rock salt, with very low levels of calcium, magnesium, sulphate, and insoluble matter.

How Food & Beverage Manufacturers Use This Ingredient

Ultrapure Vacuum Salt is used by manufacturers as a high-purity, free-flowing food salt. Typical applications include:

• Bakery Manufacturing: Controls yeast fermentation rate, strengthens the gluten network for better dough structure, and balances flavour in breads and baked goods — its consistent fine grain dissolves and disperses evenly through dough.
• Smallgoods & Meat Manufacturing: Provides seasoning, preservation, and protein/water-binding function in smallgoods, cured meats, and processed-meat products.
• Snack & Seasoning Manufacturing: Used as table and blend salt in snack seasoning, spice blends, and surface application, where free flow and even coating matter.
• Sauce, Soup & Condiment Manufacturing: A base seasoning and flavour-balancer in wet and dry savoury products; its high purity avoids off-flavours and cloudiness.
• Cheese & Dairy Manufacturing: Controls moisture, flavour, and microbial activity in cheese production.
• Brining, Pickling & Fermentation: A clean, low-impurity salt for brines, pickles, and controlled fermentation, where calcium/magnesium impurities would otherwise affect the process.

Key Features
