Sodium chloride (NaCl) plays an essential role in processed meat products from three different points of view: processing technology, preservation, and sensory attributes (Ruusunen & Poulanne, 2005). It is well known that NaCl enables myofibrillar protein solubilization, enhances water holding capacity (WHC) of meat and allows the gel formation in fermented sausages leading to the desirable texture (Ruusunen & Poulanne, 2005). In addition, NaCl decreases water activity and hence, contributes to controlling the growth of microorganisms responsible for spoilage and safety concerns (Ruusunen & Poulanne, 2005). NaCl also modulates the biochemical and enzymatic reactions during ripening, having an influence on the flavour of the final product (Toldrá, 1998). Flavor is also influenced by NaCl as provides salty taste, enhances savory and meaty flavours and improves the release of volatile aroma compound from the food matrix (Ruusunen & Poulanne, 2005).
