What it is

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

Why it's used

Salt is used to enhance flavor, preserve food, and control microbial growth. Microbial enzymes are used in cheesemaking to help coagulate milk and develop flavor and texture.

Health notes

Salt intake is a public health concern, as high sodium consumption is linked to increased blood pressure. The FDA recommends limiting sodium intake. Microbial enzymes used in food are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various enzymes, often setting acceptable daily intakes, but specific evaluations depend on the individual enzyme.

Allergen info

Salt is not a major allergen. Depending on the specific microorganism used to produce the enzyme, there could be a theoretical risk of allergen cross-reactivity, but this is uncommon.
