Manufacture of low-sodium Minas fresh cheese: Effect of the partial replacement of sodium chloride with potassium chloride

Effects of sodium chloride salting and substitution with potassium chloride on whey expulsion of cheese

Sodium-potassium-chloride cotransport.

Obligatory, coupled cotransport of Na(+), K(+), and Cl(-) by cell membranes has been reported in nearly every animal cell type. This review examines the current status of our knowledge about this ion transport mechanism. Two isoforms of the Na(+)-K(+)-Cl(-) cotransporter (NKCC) protein (approximately 120-130 kDa, unglycosylated) are currently known. One isoform (NKCC2) has at least three altern...

The influence of sodium chloride replacement with potassium chloride on quality changes of hot smoked Kilka (Clupeonella cultriventris caspia) during storage at ± 4°C

The aim of this work was to study the effect of sodium chloride replacement with potassium chloride on quality changes of hot smoked Kilka during storage at ± 4°C. To achieve this, after initial preparation, samples were exposed to brining process in two salts. This study was designed in two stages: in the first stage, different levels of salt replacement were used to select the best...

Sodium, Potassium, and Chloride Fluxes

In isolated bundles of external intercostal muscle from normal goats and goats with hereditary myotonia the following were determined: concentrations and unidirectional fluxes of Na+, K+, and C-, extracellular volume, water content, fiber geometry, and core-conductor constants. No significant difference between the two groups of preparations was found with respect to distribution of fiber size,...
