Hello, Dear Blog visitors! Today we will tasting the salt of the sustained “Extra” “Slavyanskaya”. We will succeed in a very specific tasting, because evaluating salt is a rather difficult task. But we will try. And of course, we congratulate our “smartest” author 🙂 Happy Birthday! Ole today is 25!!! Therefore, today I will write on the blog, Olya is resting … 🙂 We wish her creative inspiration so that her future publications are even more interesting and cognitive!
1. Product: Salt food sodium -sized vacuum variety “Extra” “Slavyanskaya”
2. Manufacturer: LLC Slavyanskaya Saoleno -Mining Company, Donetsk region., G. Slavyansk, st. Modern, 33
3. Place of purchase: “Bimarket”, st. Lebedeva-Kumach, 2/6
4. Buying date: 15.06.2012
5. Product price: 3.30 UAH.
6. Composition: food salt, anti-monitoring additive E-536 (mass fraction of not more than 0.001%).
As you can see (in the second photo), the product was produced in DSTU (GOST). The composition as such does not have a given salt, but it is indicated that the E-536 additive was used in the production process. What is it?
E-536, or potassium ferrocyanide, is a synthetic substance that is allowed in Ukraine and Russia, which is used in the food industry as a combination and caviare prevention, mainly in the production of pounded salt. It can only be dangerous in large doses, but in our case (with a dosage of 0.001% of the total mass of the product), it cannot harm the human body in any way.
7. Food value (in 100g): proteins – 0g; fats – 0g; Carbohydrates – 0g
8. Energy value (calorie content) in 100g: 0kcal
The manufacturer is not obliged to apply these “zeros” to the packaging.
9. Marking. All the necessary data about the product, up to the conditions of its storage and the grinding of salt, are applied to the package, you can see this based on the above photos. The date of production is indicated at the bottom of the pack and is also clearly visible.
Throughout the time, when we twisted a pack, photographing it, a certain amount of salt constantly poured out of it. We have a criterion for evaluating the product by the appearance of the packaging, since it can be damaged directly in retail chains, and reduce the assessment of the manufacturer for this would be wrong. But here is a completely different matter. The packaging itself is intact and has no visible damage, and salt is sprayed. This means that she was poorly packed at the factory. We will still make an exception today and paraphrase the “marking” category in “Marking and Pack” and lower the assessment of this product in this category.
10. Net mass (on packaging): 1000g
11. Gross mass in fact: 1022g
12. The mass of packaging: 26g
Pure salt mass was 996 grams. There is a very small underweight. Perhaps (most likely), this is a consequence of the fact that the salt from the pack has spilled out a little, but this still should not be the problem of the consumer.
13. Type and aroma. This is what we saw, opening a pack.
And it is not surprising that salt poured out of it – the internal bag is not closed tightly, through which the product easily slipped out.
In appearance, the salt of small grinding, such a powder. There were no extraneous grains in its structure, and there are no extraneous smells either. By the way, as you have already noticed, this product of the Extra variety, and you can read about the varieties of salt here.
14. Taste. The taste of salt… Salt. 🙂 All! There are no extraneous flavors.
Well, let’s put the estimates of the salt of the sodium sodden grade “Extra” of the Slavyanskaya trademark.
1. Marking and packing-7.
2. Composition (the presence of harmful and prohibited ingredients) – 10.
3. Mass compliance – 9.
4. View and aroma – 10.
5. Taste – 10.
