The present invention relates to a dry composition to produce a plant-based food product. The composition comprises a mixture of ingredients including carrageenan, cellulose ether, glucomannan, at least one plant-based protein, starch and Potassium chloride, to achieve desirable texture of the food product at uncooked, hot and cold conditions for optimal bite and juiciness. In addition, the invention also relates to the plant-based food product containing the composition and the process of producing the same.

Salt particles adhered to a bulk carrier of the present invention are improved over prior alternative salts by having smaller salt particles adhered to a bulk carrier are achieved through modifications of variables for production of salt adhered to carrier particles, including starting solid composition, salt-carrier slurry composition, inlet and outlet drying temperature, slurry temperature, and moisture content control. The resulting salt-carrier product of salt adhered to carrier particles can be produced with much smaller salt particles of about 100 nanometers to less than 2 microns adhered to a carrier, which in turn improves electrostatic forces that help the salt-carrier product better adhere to and coat a food product than salts not adhered to a carrier particle.

A saltiness enhancing mixture containing only non-chemical named ingredients generally recognized as safe which substantially reduces the typical amount of sodium per serving in many types of foods while yet preserving an equal level of perceived saltiness without introducing predominant spicy flavor and without adding bitter notes requiring more than typical levels of sweetener.

Naturally-derived compounds having various structures elicit the perception of salty taste or enhance the perception of salty taste of a salt. Food products may include such salty compounds, which may be used to reduce the sodium content, while parting a similar level of saltiness.

The invention relates to a manufacturing process for the production of a bouillon powder. In particularly the invention relates to a process for the production of a bouillon powder comprising a lipid-fiber powder. The invention also relates to the product obtained and the use thereof for preparing a food product.
