Monosodium glutamate is a powdery or crystalline condiment made from wheat, soybean and other raw materials containing more protein by hydrolysis or starch fermentation, and can also be made from beet and honey by chemical synthesis.
The production process of monosodium glutamate is actually very simple, that is, grain is hoarded and fermented to produce some new chemical components such as glutamic acid, which are sublimated and crystallized to form monosodium glutamate.
Matters needing attention in using chicken essence
1, the salt content of chicken essence is about 10%, so the food should be properly salted before adding chicken essence.
2. Chicken essence contains nucleotides, and its metabolite is uric acid, so gout patients should reduce their intake appropriately.
3. The solubility of chicken essence is worse than that of monosodium glutamate. If it is used in soup, it should be dissolved before use. Only in this way can it be better perceived by taste cells.
4. Chicken essence contains salt and has strong hygroscopicity, so it should be sealed after use, otherwise the nutritious chicken essence will breed a large number of microorganisms and pollute food.
