A salt substitute composition comprising: a) from about 70% to about 98% by weight potassium chloride, b) from about 1% to about 20% by weight of a non-reducing sugar, preferably sucrose, c) from about 0.3% to about 15% by weight of an edible organic acid, preferably adipic acid, d) from about 0.5% to about 10% by weight of a glutamate salt, preferably potassium glutamate, and from about 0.15% to about 5% by weight of an anti-caking agent, preferably tricalcium phosphate, said percentages adding up to 100%, is stable and palatable even after storage at high temperatures over an extended period of time. Use of a non-reducing sugar achieves the beneficial effects of masking the undesirable bitter taste of the potassium ion without reacting with the glutamate salt as do reducing sugars. |
