Abstract

Mineral-rich sea salt is considered a healthier alternative to conventional salt due to its lower sodium content and retention of essential minerals. However, its quality can be influenced by environmental conditions and storage duration. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of mineral-rich sea salt produced in a salt house by analyzing the relationship between NaCl content and microbial contamination. Parameters assessed included total plate count (TPC), yeast and mold counts, and NaCl concentration. Post-harvest NaCl content was compared with that of samples stored for three years at 26℃. The results showed significant differences (p < 0.05) in NaCl content, TPC, and mold counts, while yeast counts did not differ significantly. A moderate positive correlation was observed between NaCl content and mold counts, indicating that higher NaCl levels may support limited fungal growth. Conversely, NaCl content showed weak correlations with both TPC and yeast counts. Despite these variations, all microbial levels complied with the Food and Drug Administration Regulation No.13/2019. Overall, long-term storage and environmental exposure were found to influence both the chemical and microbiological quality of mineral-rich sea salt.
