LONDON (ShareCast) - (Sharecast News) - Intellectual property-focussed investment company Tekcapital announced on Monday that its portfolio company Salarius has secured and delivered a new order for 'MicroSalt' from a Mexican seafood company, for use in their dried shrimp snacks.
The AIM-traded firm described MicroSalt as a proprietary salt made with micron-sized salt particles that dissolved in the mouth "significantly faster" than regular salt, delivering an increased sensation of saltiness with much less salt, and as a result approximately 50% less sodium.

"Consumer demand for better for you snack options continues to drive marketplace adoption of low sodium snacks," said Salarius chief executive officer Victor Hugo Manzanilla.

"Snacks made with MicroSalt will help consumers reduce sodium consumption while providing the great salty taste they enjoy."

Manzanilla said MicroSalt was non-GMO and "all natural".

"Salarius is in discussions with numerous snack food companies who are evaluating MicroSalt for possible inclusion in their products, and we will update the market in due course."
