This invention relates to processes and compositions found useful for potentiating the taste of sodium chloride in humans. It has been found that the taste of sodium chloride can be enhanced in the human mouth by combining therewith, or with foods or beverages containing same, small quantities of cationic surfactants comprised of certain quaternary ammonium salts. A preferred sodium chloride taste enhancing surfactant is cetyl pyridinium chloride. |
