Industry-leading salt reduction and flavor stabilization solutions for global food manufacturers.
Across the globe, the food industry is facing an unprecedented mandate: reducing sodium intake without sacrificing the consumer’s sensory experience. As a leading ODM salt reduction additives supplier, we understand that "salt reduction" is no longer just a health claim—it is a regulatory necessity. From the WHO's global targets to reduce sodium intake by 30% by 2025 to the stringent Nutri-Score labeling in Europe, the demand for high-efficiency salt reduction additives has surged.
Global procurement teams are shifting focus from simple commodity chemicals to complex sensory systems. The challenge lies in the "salty peak"—the immediate perception of saltiness—and the "lingering umami" that salt provides. Our factory specializes in designing ODM additives that utilize mineral replacement (Potassium-based systems), flavor modulation (yeast-derived enhancers), and physical salt crystal restructuring to maintain flavor intensity while cutting sodium by up to 50%.
Meeting FDA, EFSA, and NHC standards for low-sodium labeling and clean-label ingredient declarations.
Proprietary masking agents that eliminate the metallic aftertaste of potassium chloride while enhancing salty notes.
Optimized ODM formulations that provide the same functional properties as salt at a competitive price point.
Located in the Changling Industrial Zone II, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, Nanchang Tellcan Food Science Co.,Ltd. is ranked among the "Top 100 Enterprises in China's Food Additives and Food Ingredients Industry." The company specializes in the R&D, production, and sales of food additives, as well as research and development in information technology, food processing techniques, and the transfer of agricultural product deep-processing technologies.
Adhering to the principle of "people-oriented, technology-driven," Tellcan provides optimal solutions to clients with unparalleled efficiency. Supported by a robust technical team, Tellcan operates advanced pilot production lines, R&D laboratories, and quality control systems. The company has implemented and maintains the HACCP 22000 Food Safety Management System, ensuring reliable products and services.
Implementation of KCl-NaCl co-crystallization technology to achieve initial 20-30% sodium reduction while maintaining microbial safety and water activity control.
Leveraging yeast extracts and amino acid blends to trigger T1R1/T1R3 taste receptors, amplifying the perceived saltiness through synergistic umami pathways.
The cutting edge of ODM: Using botanical extracts to mask bitterness and employing volatile aromatic compounds to simulate the savory "fullness" of high-sodium products.
The future of salt reduction lies in Computational Gastronomy. Tellcan is currently investing in AI-driven flavor mapping that predicts how salt reduction additives interact with specific food matrices like plant-based proteins or ultra-processed snacks. Our ODM approach ensures that as global consumer preferences shift toward "cleaner" and "greener" ingredients, our salt reduction systems evolve to be organic-compliant and minimally processed.
We are expanding our localization support to help international brands adapt to regional taste preferences. Whether it is the "savory-sweet" profile required in Asian markets or the "bold-acidic" profile preferred in North America, our technical team provides on-site support and customized factory formulations to ensure product success.
Our ODM solutions typically utilize a blend of mineral salts (like Potassium Chloride), flavor enhancers (Yeast Extracts), and natural masking agents to provide a balanced salty profile without the negative aftertaste associated with single-component replacements.
Yes. We specialize in tailoring salt reduction systems for beverages, meat products, bakery goods, and dairy. Each food matrix requires a different stabilization and flavor profile, which our R&D team develops in our on-site laboratories.
Salt serves as a preservative; therefore, when reducing sodium, we often integrate our Composite Preservative and Antioxidant series to ensure that microbial stability and fat oxidation are managed, maintaining a high-quality product throughout its shelf life.
Absolutely. Our factory is HACCP 22000 certified, and we source premium raw materials globally to ensure compliance with FDA, EFSA, and other regional regulatory bodies.
