Dietary sodium reduction is an important factor in the prevention of hypertension and related cardiovascular diseases. Most of all, cereal products are particularly affected by regulations, since ca. 25% of the required sodium intake per day and person is taken up by cereal products. Therefore, cereal products are regarded as the sodium main supplier in the human diet. This work displays, for the first time, a comprehensive scientific study of the effect of NaCl on wheat dough and bread by means of a number of rheological and technological measurements, over a wide range of NaCl levels, to obtain an improved understanding of the effect of NaCl on wheat dough and yeast-leavened products.
