AI Technical Summary
Existing liquid seasonings contain high salt levels, limiting culinary versatility and requiring preservatives to prevent spoilage, which are undesirable due to health concerns and consumer preferences.
An aqueous composition with low sodium chloride and potassium chloride concentrations, combined with sugars and acetic acid to achieve a pH between 3 and 4.6, ensuring stability without chemical preservatives, allowing for long-term storage and yeast/mold inhibition.
The composition maintains a low salt level, providing culinary flexibility and preventing yeast and mold growth during storage, even at high water activity, with a shelf life of up to a year at room temperature.
