Mmmm, chips. One of the most sublime of salty snacks. But have you ever wondered how they get that perfectly salty sheen on the outside? "Salt is sprayed on the surface." Youngsoo Lee is a food engineer at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. And he says not all salty foods are created equal. There's spray-on surface salt. There's salty liquids, like canned soup. And then there are salty solids, where the sodium is dissolved in a matrixlike structure. Think: salamis and cheeses. But when we eat those salty solids, only a fraction of the salt gets released before we swallow. Meaning a lot of that salt has no effect on taste—but a big effect on our daily salt intake. Lee's investigating that salty-solid conundrum for a company that wants to make cold cuts that taste the same but contain less salt.
