Hedonic thresholds and ideal sodium content reduction of bread loaves.

Global public policies have advocated strategies for reducing sodium consumption due to the high incidence of non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs) worldwide. The objectives of this study were to identify the bread loaves sodium content considered as ideal by the consumers and determine hedonic thresholds. In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 114 consumers evaluated the ideal sodium content in bread loaves by the Just About Right (JAR) test, (first sensorial stage) studying four decreased levels of sodium (10%, 20%, 30%, 40%) from the mean values observed from bread in 11 food composition tables from various regions of the world, and Brazil.
