Is MSG good or chicken essence good?

many friends ask: What are MSG and chicken essence? Which is better?chicken essence is a compound flavor with chicken flavor. It has many advantages: it has no uncomfortable taste at all; it doesn't have the dry taste of MSG; it's well-coordinated and tastes delicious and mellow. At present, chicken essence is widely used in convenience food, fast food, hotels, catering food flavoring, has also become one of the most popular home flavor seasonings.many people have a long-held view of MSG, but have a love of chicken, think that chicken essence is made of chicken as the main raw material, not only nutritious, but also safe., MSG is also a product made from pure grains and is itself an amino acid that is naturally found in food, legumes and fish meat. For most people, a small amount of MSG does not pose a hazard to the human body.so, what's the difference between chicken essence and MSG? The two production raw materials, process methods, product composition and flavor are significantly different.is a very pure fresh agent, the main component is glutamate monosodium, is carbohydrate (starch, molasses, etc.) as raw materials, after microbial fermentation refined. Hydrolysed plant proteins can also be processed to make MSG.chicken essence is a mixture of a variety of flavored substances, it is both MSG's fresh taste, but also other flavored substances of the fresh taste. Chicken essence is produced after the emergence of new products such as msa nucleotides, hydrolyzed plant proteins, yeast extracts, etc.MSG and MSG have a fresh tastemultiplication effect
"
, with a strong freshening effect, its freshness is much higher than the same concentration of MSG, ISG replacement products. That is to say, the taste of chicken essence is fresh, still can not be separated from the role of MSG. However, with the help of creacosides and bird nucleotides, lower MSG can be used to achieve higher fresh taste levels.the nucleotides could have increased the freshness of MSG by twenty or thirty times, but the producers added salt, starch and paste to dilute it, and the concentration of the flavor decreased. Therefore, the amount of chicken essence should not be lower than MSG.advantages of chicken essence, mainly the advantages of flavor. MSG, nucleotides, plus organic acids, sugars, and flavors, some products also contain
"
hydrolyzed protein
"
or
"
yeast extract
"
, can bring a variety of amino acids fresh taste, plus chicken flavor, etc., mixed together to make the taste appear more natural and rich.Although most chicken essences are packaged with
"
made from fine fat chicken
",
,
"
really fine chicken made into
"
, but it is not as much made from chicken as imagined. The main ingredients of chicken essence are usually salt, malt paste and MSG, where the amount of MSG usually exceeds the amount of ingredients that really come from natural foods, such as chicken powder or chicken bone meal, egg extract, other meat extracts, etc.between high-quality and low-cost products, to a large extent, is due to the proportion of these natural extracts. Cheap products usually contain a larger proportion of salt and MSG, while high-quality chicken essences have more ingredients from fresh chicken.chicken essence also contains a lot of dexterity and starch, and add anti-knot agent, mainly used for bonding and granulation, so that the particles are loose, not easy to absorb moisture clinging, easy to use., however, the taste of chicken essence is again realistic, but also a condiment, can not be the same as the nutrition of chicken. And the amount of use is small, they have little practical significance for the supply of protein in the diet;chicken essence also contains a certain amount of MSG, so it is similar to the safety of MSG, the same should be careful not to heat up for long periods of time. The nucleotide components in chicken essence are also susceptible to degradation of nucleotide enzymes, so it is best to put chicken essence in the pot after the end of heating.need to pay special attention to, because the chicken essence itself contains a certain amount of salt, if the fried vegetables and soup when using chicken essence, the amount of salt must be reduced accordingly. You may wish to put half the salt, and then put the chicken essence, taste whether salty is appropriate, if not enough, then consider add a little salt. If you've added a suitable saltiness and put a large spoonful of chicken essence, it may be bad for health for those who need to control the salt.addition, chicken essence also contains nucleotides, and nucleotide metabolites are uric acid, so ginglycation patients should eat less.in short, MSG, chicken essence although are products to enhance fresh taste, the actual composition and usage of a certain difference. In real life to choose MSG or chicken essence, depending on everyone's taste requirements. Generally speaking, plant-based food selection chicken flavor is more natural, and animal food selection MSG can achieve natural taste.because they are not foods that target nutrition, there is no need to consider their nutritional value.the natural flavor of food is the most valuable, with a large number of MSG and chicken essence to press down on the natural flavor, blunt their taste buds, it is very regrettable. Therefore, regardless of which one is used, the quantity should be controlled and put less as good.
