Salt is an important seasoning that adds a salty taste to enhance or suppress other tastes in cooking. Porridge is treated with salt, even with the addition of a small amount of salt to tighten its taste. This salty taste intensity is also influenced by the amount of bittern component contained in the salt because not only the bittern component but also the change of pH affects the degree of swelling and penetration into rice. However, excessive salt intake causes lifestyle-related diseases. For that reason, salt intake reduction is recommended. When salt and citric acid are added to the porridge simultaneously, the contrasting effects of acidity and saltiness enhance the salty flavor, allowing for the reduction of salt intake.
