  • Essential to the flavour of the product
  • Essential for shelf life

REPLACMENT

Replacement of NaCl with SOLO® results in no significant differences in:

  • taste
  • aroma
  • shelf life
  • colour

Replacement of NaCl with SOLO® depends on each specific application and trials have to be conducted to establish the optimum levels of SOLO® to reduce the water activity in the fish to the correct levels. The SOLO® is applied to the fish in exactly the same way as when using NaCl.
