ABSTRACT

Sodium salt contains especially sodium and chloride minerals. In sufficient amount, sodium salt intake is needed for nerve stimulation and muscle contraction. However, over salt consumption in certain period was revealed scientifically associated to hypertension, heart disease, and stroke. Social phenomena shows there is increasingly high sodium food consumption pattern especially comes from fast, canned, and preserved food. This food habit creates imbalance essential Intake of blood pressure regulating minerals, and consequently brings about hypertension, heart disease, diabetes mellitus, and stroke. Household health survey showed that hypertension prevalence had been increasing continously. Besides imballance mineral intake, several hypertension are caused by limited availability of food high in the minerals and limited knowledge of blood pressure control.

The main aim of this study is to evaluate health effect of multimineral (MM) salt consumed by hypertension's subject, performed by double blind randomized control trial and clinically approved. Three MM salt formulas were determined by mineral (Ca,Mg, and K) requirement calculations, and were formulated by dry homogenized technique. Blood minerals (electrolyte) of the subject were analyzed by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) method, Quality analysis result showed that MM salt was soluble In cold water, not clear (cloudy), and permanently had white color (72,4). Statistical analysis confirmed that the MM functional salt In amount of 2000 mg three times a day (6000 mg) and had been consumed for 30 days by hypertension subjects significantly decreased their systolic blood pressure or SBP (1,3 %; x2=27,381 with p
