ANSWER: The addition of salt affects the overall flavor of the products in five areas:

 * ==Sweetness. Adding salt enhanced the sweetness, in some cases to a higher degree than the increase in saltiness.==
 * ==Metallic or chemical off-notes. Salt often decreased or masked these flavors.==
 * ==Flavor balance. Salt rounded out the balance, blended flavors together and increased the perception of flavor intensity.==
 * ==Saltiness. The increase in the perception of saltiness depended on the level used and the product.==
