"We are extremely energized about our partnership with
Gehring-Montgomery and working closely with their team of sales
experts to increase brand awareness and accelerate sales of
Microsalt (R) . Our partnership is a win-win-win as we are offering
their customers a unique, on-trend, innovative ingredient that will
also help consumers lower their sodium intake." says Victor Hugo
Manzanilla, CEO of Salarius.
"Our partnership with Salarius complements our overall U.S.
strategy offering, providing a highly innovative specialty, such as
"Microsalt", a cutting-edge ingredient, allowing consumers to lower
their sodium intake yet maintain the product's full flavor. This
meets the challenges of the general public's demand for
ground-breaking, healthy alternatives that result in sodium
reduction formulation," says Mark Bitting, President and Managing
Director of Gehring Montgomery.
MicroSalt(R) is a proprietary, patented salt made with
micron-size salt particles that dissolve in the mouth significantly
faster than regular salt, delivering an increased sensation of
saltiness with much less salt, and as a result, approximately 50%
less sodium. MicroSalt is Non-GMO, all Natural, Kosher and Gluten
Free.
With the highly competitive global savory snacks market being
expected to reach US$108 billion by 2021(1) , and the low sodium
ingredient market estimated to reach US$1.76 billion by 2025 with a
CAGR 11.7%(2) , MicroSalt(R) is a food ingredient whose time has
come.
About Salarius
Salarius, is the developer and manufacturer of a proprietary
low-sodium salt called MicroSalt(R). We are passionate about
improving lives with healthier food and are taking the lead in the
industry by providing the best low-sodium salt solution, based on
the mechanical transformation of the salt particle itself. This
solution is the only one that delivers real salt flavor, because it
is salt. Our new technology produces salt crystals that are
approximately one hundred times smaller than typical table salt,
delivering a powerful saltiness as the micro-grains dissolve in the
mouth, with approximately 50% less sodium consumption.
Additionally, the ultra-small particle size enhances product
adhesion, which reduces waste and provides enhanced flavor
consistency. To learn more please visit https://Salarius.co .
