The studies on the effect of salts commonly used in food industries such as NaCl, KCl, Na SO , K SO and CH CO Na on the functional properties of 2 4 2 4 3 2 the sample suggested that water absorptivity, emulsification, foamability and gelation were affected by the salts and that these effects were functions of the types of salt considered and their various concentrations. The data generated showed that salts may be used at appropriate concentrations to enhance or inhibit the functionalities of the flours.
