Sodium chloride (NaCl), commonly known as table salt, is widely used in medicine, food production, and industrial processes.
Applications / Uses
Flavor enhancer: A fundamental ingredient used to season and enhance the natural flavors of a wide variety of foods.
Preservative: Inhibits the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms by drawing out moisture through osmosis, which is especially useful for preserving meats, fish, and vegetables.
Processing aid: Plays a role in baking by regulating yeast fermentation, affecting the texture of dough, and improving the overall structure of baked goods.
Essential nutrient: It is a necessary part of the human diet.
Isotonic saline solutions: Used to create solutions like IV drips that have the same salt concentration as bodily fluids, which is crucial for rehydrating patients or administering medications.
Excipient and filler: Acts as a filler or stabilizer in tablet and capsule formulations.
Preparation: Used in the preparation of solutions for various applications, such as those used in contact lens care.
Dehydration prevention: Helps prevent dehydration in patients when administered orally or intravenously.
