The taste of foods and beverages containing less than a normal amount of sodium chloride is enhanced by addition of a food-acceptable encapsulated ammonium salt. Food-acceptable carrier agents for encapsulating food-acceptable ammonium salts include maltodextrin, gum arabic and gelatinized starches, in particular, starches which have a high amylopectin content, and in particular, a gelatinized starch hydrolysate debranched at 1,6-alpha-D-glycosidic linkages. The ammonium salts are usefully prepared with ammonia recovered during spray-drying of fermented soy sauce and by recovering ammonia formed by acid hydrolysis of a protein.
