IRON-FORTIFIED SAVOURY CONCENTRATE

The present invention relates to a savoury concentrate containing: • 30-80 wt.% of salt particles, including at least 0.002 wt.% of iron-containing salt particles comprising: 0.03-30 mol% of iron cation selected from Fe2+, Fe3+ and combinations thereof; 10-49.97 mol% of non-iron cations selected from Na+, K+, Ca2+, NH4 + and combinations thereof; 16-70.2 mol% of CI-; 0-30 mol% of anions selected from SO4 2-, citrate, fumarate and combinations thereof; • at least 3 wt.% of taste imparting components selected from glutamate, sugars, pieces of plant material and combinations thereof; • 0-30 wt.% of oil; • 0-10 wt.% water. The savoury concentrate of the present invention offers the advantage that the iron contained therein is highly bioavailable. Furthermore, the iron-containing salt particles contained in the savoury concentrate do not give rise to unacceptable colour changes.
