The color of bamboo salt is another physical attribute that makes it unique. This salt has a greenish-gray color, resulting from the salt being roasted and baked at high temperatures. The high temperature causes a chemical reaction that gives the salt its distinct color. ⚫Smell A laboratory study examined 20 different kinds of salts (refined salts, roasted salts, processed salts, imported salts, sea salts, and Bamboo Salts) and their ability to fight off Salmonella entertidis. Out of the 20 salt samples, only Bamboo Salts were found with the property of fighting against Salmonella. It was later found that Bamboo Salts contain a low concentration of active antimicrobial substance that inhibits the growth of microorganisms (Moon, JH, et. al., 2009).

Bamboo salt is an excellent exfoliator that can remove dead skin cells and promote blood circulation, leaving your skin soft and glowing! Is bamboo salt suitable for vegetarians or vegans? According to previous in-vitro studies, Bamboo salt is proposed to exert a variety of therapeutic effects, making it a potentially suitable ingredient for natural toothpastes [ 31]. One of them is the ability of Bamboo salt to remineralize incipient enamel lesions [ 23, 32]. In an in vitro study by Choi et al., a significant improvement in surface hardness of artificial caries-like enamel lesions was observed using the Bamboo salt-sodium fluoride toothpaste [ 23]. A synergic remineralization potential of Bamboo salt and sodium fluoride was later confirmed in an in vitro study by Kim et al., demonstrating a higher increase in surface hardness by combining both agents, compared to using them separately [ 32].Saoraya, Chanmuang, et. al.

From cooking to electrolyte drinks and personal care, the uses for bamboo salt are many. Here are some ways to use bamboo salt. The primary pathogenic mechanism of dental caries initiation is lactic acid production by dental biofilm bacteria [ 28]. Acidogenic Lactobacilli spp. and Streptococcus mutans are the principal pathogens of dental plaque biofilm [ 29]. Although plaque removal during toothbrushing is mainly accomplished through mechanical action of toothbrushes, the use of appropriate toothpaste can enhance the antibacterial efficacy [ 30]. The aim of the present randomized controlled clinical trial was to compare the antibacterial efficacy of herbal toothpaste containing Bamboo salt with a non-herbal toothpaste as control, and it was observed that both toothpaste types reduced the Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus counts of saliva equally.

In recent years, Korean cuisine has experienced a renaissance, with chefs experimenting with traditional ingredients to create modern dishes. The salt has also found its way into these modern recipes. One such recipe is bamboo salt-crusted salmon. This dish combines the traditional use of this salt with Western-style preparation. The salmon is coated in salt and baked, producing a crispy and flavorful crust. Moon, J.H., et. al. (2009). The intrinsic antimicrobial activity of bamboo salt against Salmonella entertidis.

Salt was also prized by the ancient Hebrews, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Hittites, Egyptians, and Indians. Salt became an important article of trade and was transported by boat across the Mediterranean Sea, along specially built salt roads, and across the Sahara on camel caravans. The scarcity and universal need for salt have led nations to go to war over it and use it to raise tax revenues. Salt is used in religious ceremonies and has other cultural and traditional significance. a b c Buss, David; Robertson, Jean (1973). Manual of Nutrition. Her Majesty's Stationery Office. pp.37–38.

(2019) investigated the efficacy of Bamboo salt combined with sodium fluoride on streptococcus mutans. Various properties attributed to the cariogenesis of this microorganism including its growth, acid production, adherence to glass beads, and expression of gtfB, gtfC, gtfD, and ftf genes were significantly restrained by the Bamboo salt and sodium fluoride mixture. It was concluded that Bamboo salt and sodium fluoride can synergically act in inhibiting the cariogenic potential of Streptococcus mutans [ 21], which is consistent with the results of the present in-vivo study.
