Abstract
A substantially sodium-free salt substitute containing 5'-nucleotides such as 5'-inosinic acid or its physiologically acceptable nonsodium salts, and 5'-guanosinic acid or its physiologically acceptable nonsodium salts, an amino acid mixture such as a nonsodium containing hydrolyzed vegetable protein, a sugar such as glucose, a potassium phosphate such as dipotassium orthophosphate, a potassium chloride, is disclosed. The salt substitute has an enhanced salty flavor even though the amount of potassium chloride is no more than 50% by weight. The salt substitute has further desirable gustatory flavors.
