The invention describes the cost effective process for the preparation of a mixture of salts having low sodium salt (health salt) contain and exclusively derived from vegetable sources which have desired sodium chloride: potassium chloride ratio and traces of micronutrients including iodine, said salt is white in color and free flowing in nature.

Low sodium salt of botanic origin

The invention describes the preparation of nutrient-rich salt from high salt-accumulating and edible oil-bearing salt tolerant plants in a way that allows simultaneous recovery of both salt and oil, the plants are routinely irrigated with seawater and occasionally with seawater enriched with salt bitterns and/or other types of wastes/by-products containing essential nutrients to raise the level of such nutrients in the plant.

Preparation of nutrient rich salt of plant origin

An integrated method is developed to utilize to a maximum extent the fresh biomass of seaweeds such asthat can be crushed to release sap and where the sap is useful as a potent liquid fertilizer after suitable treatment with additives and dilution while the residue is a superior raw material for extraction of &#x3ba;-carrageenan, thereby enhancing the value of the seaweed. Other advantages of the invention include a reduced drying time and drying area to obtain the raw material for &#x3ba;-carrageenan production in dry and storable form, a reduced cost of transporting and storing this raw material because of its lesser bulk, easier handling due to its free flowing granular nature, and its direct use for gel preparation in certain applications.
