Abstract

Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a spice that stimulates the taste buds, brings out the salty taste and makes the dish more appetizing. However, excessive salt consumption is strongly associated with the development of a number of chronic non-communicable diseases. To limit salt intake, the Ministry of Health of Vietnam has set a target by 2025 to reduce the average salt consumption per person per day in adults by 30%. There are many methods to reduce salt consumption or reduce sodium intake such as actively reducing salt intake from foods and spices, using some salt substitutes such as potassium chloride, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride .... Especially, recently, the application of techniques using flavoring ingredients to maintain the palatability of salt-reduced foods is of interest to scientists. In this field, applying the umami flavoring ability of monosodium glutamate to partially replace sodium chloride is a method that is being applied effectively in many countries around the world.
