Composition of food grade Atlantic salts regarding triacylglycerides, polysaccharides and protein

- A methodology for isolation of polymeric material from sea salt was developed.
- Sea salt contains triacylglycerides, polysaccharides and proteins.
- The major fatty acid residue in sea salt triacylglycerides was palmitic acid.
- Sea salt polysaccharides are highly sulfated.
- Sea salt proteins are composed mainly by hydrophobic amino acids.
