Abstract
Man is the only mammal who learnt to cook food prior to ingestion and added several taste and flavour enhancers to his diet, which also were of value as aids to digestion. Salt, one such condiment has been in use since the evolution of primitive man. The advancement of technology made salt a major contributor in the processing and preservation of food. Diet has been considered as a causative factor for many diseases.
