But they essentially also indicate that testing would be needed to determine quantities required. Such testing for consistent, certified safety would be beyond the scope of any home kitchen, so one would have to wait for experts to get funding to do some actual research and lab testing on this:</p> <blockquote><p>Partially replacing salt with other compounds, such as potassium chloride and calcium chloride, may also be possible in fermented products (Bautista-Gallego et al., 2008; Reddy and Marth, 1991; Yumani et al., 1999).
