Scientists of UK Department of Health found that salt intaking(sodium chloride) down to 6 grams per day, can reduce the risk with 17% of suffering from high blood pressure. To this end, Europe and other developed countries have repeatedly launched "Reducing salt campaign," according to the US Food Safety News , the FDA will soon introduce a voluntary industry program of salt reduction, many famous food companies such as Unilever, Wal-Mart, have already responded to the salt reduction campaign and guarantee products to reduce salt content.

Same to salt, high sugar intaking also bring many health problems, such as overweight and obesity, increased risk of NCDs and dental caries. A new WHO guideline recommends adults and children reduce their daily intake of free sugars to less than 10% of their total energy intake. A further reduction to below 5% or roughly 25 grams (6 teaspoons) per day would provide additional health benefits. Health authorities and consumers are increasingly aware of sugar intake and seek products that meet their needs.

Yeast extract, described as "pure & clean taste profile, natural solution", is targeting to improve overall taste profile while effectively masking the off-notes in food and drinks. By adding 0.01-0.03% of yeast extract in sugary drinks can bring out high-intensified sweetness, prolonged lingering taste, and enriched nutritional contents.

In addition to the intensified sweetness it creates, it nullifies the high intensity bitterness, liquorice flavor, and other off-notes that comes with the natural sweetener stevioside.
