Hot Salts

Please explain the difference. Infused means basically sealing it and letting the aroma penetrate. But it happens with a mix. So please explain I'd like to know more thanks!
 
Just from my own testing and knowing the behavior of salt being hyrdoscopic (seeking to absorb moisture) Fresh ingredients work best in flavored salts. Their is an extra step of actually re-drying the salt but it gives the fullest so called infused flavor. The oils in the pepper also adhere easier and quicker to the salt vs. just adding a ground or flaked product to the salt.
 
I've seen that with wet ingredients, even reduced wine added... but figured the peppers are dried, so what is this extra step if using dried ingredients? 
 
When i am cooking a sauce, a blorp of dark red forms when it comes to a nice boil.
I take spoonfuls of that and mix it with kosher salt until the salt is free flowing again.
 
The salt dissolves slightly then reforms as its mixed.
