What it is

Salt is a mineral composed primarily of sodium chloride. Microbial enzymes are proteins produced by microorganisms like bacteria or fungi. They are often used in food processing to speed up chemical reactions.

Why it's used

Salt is used to enhance flavor, preserve food, and control microbial growth. Microbial enzymes are used in cheese making to help break down proteins and fats, aiding in flavor development and texture.

Health notes

Salt (sodium chloride) is essential for human health, but high intake is linked to increased blood pressure. The FDA recommends limiting sodium intake. JECFA has evaluated salt and set an acceptable daily intake. Microbial enzymes used in food processing are generally recognized as safe by the FDA. JECFA and EFSA have also evaluated many enzymes.

Allergen info

Salt is not a major allergen. Microbial enzymes are not derived from the major allergens, though some enzymes might be produced using fermentation media that could contain allergens.
