A seasoning composition, which includes (A) sodium chloride, (B) potassium chloride, (C) at least two nucleotides, and (D) glutamic acid or salt thereof. The seasoning composition is characterized as having a weight ratio of the at least two nucleotides to the glutamic acid or salt thereof, (C):(D), of from 1:1 to 5:1, and a weight ratio of potassium chloride to the glutamic acid or salt thereof, (B):(D), of from 10:1 to 250:1. Also disclosed are comestibles containing the seasoning composition, and methods of enhancing an initial salty taste of comestibles with the seasoning composition.

The present invention is a system and method for calculating the differences in chemical and/or mineral constituencies present in the makeups of a source water profile and a target water profile and calculating an optimized routine for altering the source water profile to mimic the target water profile. The present innovation utilizes an optimization function to determine the constituent differences and to derive a dosing routine to mix one or more batches of output mixture. The present innovation employs a dosing machine to affect the routine determined by the optimization function. In an embodiment the dosing machine utilizes one or more ingredient-dedicated peristaltic pumps to mix ingredients into one or more output mixture batches and deliver the one or more output mixture batches to a human user.

Provided is a technology to enhance the saltiness of food. The saltiness of food is enhanced by adding the following ingredients (A) to (D): (A) potassium chloride; (B) arginine or a salt thereof; (C) lysine or a salt thereof; and (D) a nucleic acid-containing yeast extract.
