Smart Salt

Smart Salt® uses proprietary co-crystallization technology that stabilizes magnesium chloride so that it can be used as a crystalline mineral salt to replace sodium chloride in food products. Under normal kitchen, restaurant and factory conditions magnesium chloride is very difficult to handle as it is a deliquescent solid which picks up moisture readily even at low humidity levels.  By co-crystallization, magnesium chloride can be produced as a solid-crystal with improved hygroscopicity and flowability without chemical modification.  The co-crystal is commercially known as Smart Salt® Concentrate (also known in Food Chemical Codex as Magnesal) and is a true crystal, not an agglomerated product or granule, and as such handles like regular crystalline salt.
