Five, monosodium glutamate is salty and not sweet. Under the appropriate sodium ion concentration, the umami taste of monosodium glutamate can be more prominent. Therefore, the umami flavor of monosodium glutamate can be delicious in salty dishes, but if monosodium glutamate is put into sweet dishes, it will not only not enhance the freshness, but will inhibit the original flavor of sweet and fresh food and produce an odor. Therefore, monosodium glutamate cannot be added to dishes such as chicken, corn soup and sweet taro. Family doctor online
