White Salt (Food Grade)

Food-grade white salt (refined sodium chloride, NaCl, CAS 7647-14-5) is supplied by Global Chemicals LLC at 99.5% minimum purity with heavy metals below 10 ppm, as clean white crystalline granules in fine, medium and coarse grain sizes, iodised or non-iodised, in 1 kg, 25 kg and 50 kg bags from stock in Muscat to food manufacturers, meat and fish processors, bakeries, dairies, restaurants and catering companies across Oman. Each lot ships with a certificate of analysis and the food-safety documentation buyers need for their own audits; the laboratory reagent and industrial grades are listed separately.

Which grain to order. Fine salt dissolves fastest and is the seasoning and bakery salt, dosed at about 1.8–2.2% of flour weight in bread, where it controls fermentation and strengthens gluten as well as seasoning the loaf. Medium grain is the general processing salt for soups, sauces, snacks and ready meals. Coarse salt is for brines, pickling, curing, fish salting and cheese making, where slow dissolution and even coverage matter; cheese makers salt curds or brine wheels with it, and meat processors build curing brines from it with the nitrite cure added separately. Fermentation of vegetables, olives and sauces uses the non-iodised grade, because iodine can inhibit the culture and darken the product. Iodised salt carries the standard iodine fortification for table and household use.

Why refined: raw sea salt carries magnesium and calcium chlorides that make it bitter and hygroscopic, plus sand and organic matter; refining removes them, which is what gives this salt its clean taste, white colour, free flow and consistent brine strength.

Storage and handling: salt is not hazardous, but it is corrosive to mild steel and absorbs moisture in humid air, so keep bags closed, dry and off the floor, use plastic or stainless equipment for brines, and rotate stock. It is non-perishable.
