摘要

Novel compositions comprising mixtures of sodium chloride and choline-containing compounds which are effective as salt substitutes or enhancers are disclosed along with a method for imparting saltiness to, or enhancing the saltiness of, edible materials by the addition of these novel compositions. A method for enhancing the saltiness of edible materials by the addition of choline-containing compounds is also disclosed. Further, a process of producing the novel compositions in the form of free-flowing granules of good shelf-life and acceptable saltiness is disclosed.
