From Kitchen Staple to Global Breakthrough: How DOST-TAPI’s IP Protection program elevated the flavors of the i-SALT Revolution of the DOST-ITDI’s Salt Washer Technology.
Seasoning the Future by Finding Purpose in Innovation
Driven by the mission to enhance the productivity and efficiency of local salt producers, DOST-ITDI, under the leadership of Dr. Annabelle V. Briones, launched the i-SALT Project—a groundbreaking initiative that introduced advanced salt-processing technologies designed for higher efficiency, purity, and sustainability.
At the heart of this project is the Continuous Screw-Type Salt Washer ensuring salt purity of at least 97%, aligning with the standards of R.A. 8172 (ASIN Law) and addressing food safety concerns. This technology helped transform salt production in the regions, making it more cost-effective and accessible year-round.
