For reducing the sodium content in meat products, processors are probing for a replacement for sodium chloride that possesses similar functionality, without sacrificing the quality of the or sensory attributes. One idea that is being trailed up by food researchers is the employment of alternative gourmet salts. Alternative gourmet salts are not purified; consequently, they contain many trace elements, such as potassium, calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, copper, and sodium. A recent study displayed similarities between the functionality of sodium chloride and potassium chloride with respect to their effects on muscle enzymes.
The urban population has recently become increasingly conscious about the products they are consuming, which has ultimately initiated the trend of consuming organic products. This factor has been crucial in restructuring the food and beverages industry. As salts form an integral part of a meal, it is available in abundance as it is processed synthetically in factories and in the course of time, the factory procedures have been taking away its originality. However, at present, the demand for gourmet salts is intensifying as they are sold and consumed in their natural form.

High Processing Cost to Act Against the Market Growth
The manufacturing of gourmet salts involves high initial capital investment for processing, packaging, labeling, and marketing, which tends to ultimately increase the final product cost. As gourmet salts can be harvested only in a particular seasons and needs a long duration for the evaporation of moisture, the manufacturing process takes a longer time, it tends to increase the price of the final products ultimately. As a result, the production rate is also low of soalr evaporated gourmet salts. In case of mined gourmet salts, the machinery required and cost of labor, increases the price of the final product, thus challenging the consumption across the globe. As gourmet salts are natural and fresh products, their shelf life is also low, again acting against the consumption of it.
