The creation and applications of five gourmet salts to twelve signature dishes is very important as it brings benefits in both taste, texture, aroma, without organoleptically recharging a food while improving the presentation of preparations and dishes, based on the above mentioned, and for the results that can be obtained by creating a theoretical and specimen where knowledge on this topic was increased, which will be valuable by either an amateur or a professional cook.
