No direct information regarding Microsalt's potential use in bread. They also have a disclaimer saying results may vary.

People seem to be confused about the science behind Microsalt. The perceived saltiness comes from the interaction between the micro sized particles interacting with taste buds more effectively than conventional salt. Microsalt is surface seasoning.

Salt dissolves in bread so there is no advantage to Microsalt, here is the science.

Table salt is a type of crystal made up of chlorine and sodium ions, or charged atoms. In its crystalline state, salt’s ions are positioned in a stable, geometric lattice. However, when mixed with an appropriate solvent such as water, salt dissolves, meaning that the ion lattice is forced apart by the solvent and the individual ions become enveloped by the solvent. This is exactly what occurs in a dough: crystalline salt is quickly dissolved by the dough’s liquid into sodium and chloride ions

You seem out of touch with your research Microsalt is already active in the bread space.

Design a Micro Salt to make bread or soups etc then your a winner.

From recent update

New outreach to the QSR/FSR market with sodium reduced burger buns a potentially significant new opportunity for both sodium reduction and the MicroSalt presence across multiple jurisdictions.

What planet are you from , its basic Micro salt is a dressing on crisps , chips etc - once you mix in a mixture the chemical compounds are the same as nature salt.

Please know your product that you invest in.

Get Mcdonalds to use Micro Salt and we are half way there , or any fast food chain.

Its insulting to describe a product which is not true , now run along.

Tek are long term seed investors , it takes time however now is the point where can see massive upside and pleasing to investors.

Baf3 please these statements are misleading , you can only use Micro Salt on dressing.

Design a Micro Salt to make bread or soups etc then your a winner , read up on chemistry on mixing salt with other chemicals ( food ingredients' ) it changes the property and becomes dissolved the same as salt.

In truth manufactures add salt to prolong food life , change this you got a battle.

Fast food a good direction but this is limited - max Micro Salt can reach in full replacement ( $200 Million across the globe ) due to its limitations.

Debate is good , why do you think TEK did not get involved in the next funding round ? instead seen the stake diluted.

Just press on my name and see the topics im in , not naming here but one stands out.

I only just bought last week into TEK , i see good and risky investments and slowly researching them all.

What i can say one investment by TEK is the amount valued by the shareholders value , the rest is free which two are on the stock market.

Not here to pick a fight , pointing out the pitfalls and upside which is massive.

Please prove me wrong research and show evidence , in the mean time taking TEK good parts not in the talking here , but defending as you are share holders same as me.

Hi Tivman the five years is based on growth of TEK products , as for salt that a separate statement.

THe point was making there are competitors , do i believe TEK have invested well the answer is yes.

In the short term Guident are the main reason why i invested as has the quickest path to expand capital growth or immediate growth in a cash sell.

As for the analogy invested in other company's that are green tech and save the environment , one in mind is 100% green and replaces Fossil fuel and is cheaper. The fact is company's that manufacture takes multiple years to adapt to better ingredient's - Hence the VHS versus Beta Max is a example of poor quality against good quality.

The point is investing in shares is a long term view , no quick results for which the many do not understand in todays society.

So have a target of 100p a share over 5 year period with a sell of 50% holding.

Also do the maths on Micro Salt - brilliant product - down side need to sell at same price as normal salt but 50% less volume in order to match and sell in Millions of KG. In other words will take at least 3 to 8 years to break even.

Salt is very cheap that all you need to know.

Really pleasing that you have not read the RNS or past performance's , gives me more time to build on this company.

For Clarity Totally results below do not reflect your statement

2023 £135.7m, £6.5m, £6.9m

Lol reminds me of the Betamax Verse VHS tapes , see below quote

Was beta really better than VHS?

While Betamax offered superior picture quality, VHS offered longer recording times and was cheaper to produce. Today, both formats are obsolete, and people have moved on to DVDs, Blu-Rays, and digital streaming services.

In Other words it comes down to cost as VHS won the battle - but still lost in the end.

Not saying its the same here for Guident - as said depends who is the Tier 1 manufacture i.e GM Motors - Tesla or a supplier

Also as anote if it was not for Guident would not have invested as upside is massive - Micro Salt great but manufactures take time to adapt so maybe years off from mass sales.

Would i invest in Micro Salt would be yes but need to see breakeven achieved.

Do not think this job is day and night working but expanding to 7 days a week hence the 3 days to 4 day working period.

Anyway points to increase production.

Nice find

Interesting see what happens

Guident technology is impressive , however the real news to turnover is The Regenerative Shock Absorber with Tier 1 manufacturer.

With Electric cars inching out more miles in this case 5 to 7 miles on a full charge its a no brainer this would be adopted.

It all comes down to cost and who is the Tier 1 manufacturer if millions will be produced or just a trail - suspect a royalty payment will be made on each unit.

Hi Justdeezerts , completely understand and yes John needs to address this as ITX is a inventor trying to go to the commercial world which is roughly going to plan.

My view we need a commercial unit to push ITX to the next level.

Knock on every door , bang on about the eco products and saving the world.

Hi AJP08

Good find , think all come clear in September with iTX Directors Board update.
