What is it about?
This research sought to evaluate the properties of vegetable salt from salicornia ramosissima (a.ka. green salt or samphire salt). This new food product can be used as an alternative to kitchen salt. In addition, we simulated different storage conditions through accelerated shelf life tests to optimize its shelf life and marketing.
