Assessment of the hidden threat of excessive salt into the body due to the use of bakery products in Uzbekistan
Abstract
An assessment of the actual consumption of bakery products among the adult population of Uzbekistan shows their significant amount in the average daily diet (in the city - 635 g, in rural areas - 685 g per 1 person). It was revealed that the content of table salt in bakery products varies in the range from 1 to 2.8 g per 100 g of the product. The absence of criteria for the norms of salt content in bakery products contributes to its excessive intake into the body (in a latent form), which for the urban population is 13.2 ± 1.0 g and for the rural population - 13.7 ± 1.0 g per day. The results of the conducted studies show the convincing need for rationing the content of table salt in bakery products as safety criteria for the health of consumers.
