Iodized brine: less labor-intensive work, more control over your process

Ready-to-use brine takes the hard work off your hands. And with iodine added, you can produce a healthier final product without any extra steps.

Consistent dosing, without the need for a dedicated brine system

Dissolving salt yourself means lugging around bags, refilling tanks, and hoping the concentration is right. With MARSEL® LIQUID, ZOUTMAN delivers a ready-to-use brine with a consistent concentration, tailored to your application and food-grade, directly into a tank at your site. The brine flows automatically to your production lines through stainless steel or plastic pipes.

Here are the financial benefits: up to 40% cheaper than dry salt, no investment in a dissolving system, less maintenance, no packaging waste, and no corrosive salt residue. ZOUTMAN monitors your inventory 24/7 and automatically restocks it. The brine contains no E numbers and is organic-compliant, with BRC, IFS, Kosher, and HACCP certifications to reassure your quality assurance department.

Adding Iodine Where It Counts

About half of the European population has a mild iodine deficiency (1). Iodized salt offers an interesting solution to this problem: the WHO considers salt iodization to be the most effective measure against deficiencies (2). And since 70 to 80% of our salt intake comes from prepared and processed foods (1), the food industry holds the greatest leverage.

In short, iodized brine is a simple measure that offers a twofold benefit: a more efficient process and a product that contributes to public health.
