chicken essence with high chicken content. Such as "Jiale Brand", "Jiajiapai", "Taitai Music", "Haoji" and "Golden Palace" chicken essence belong to this category. You can look at your personal preference when you buy that brand.

I'll give you a hint.

Chicken essence is delicious, and it's hard to tell whether it's true or not.

Chicken essence, as a fresh seasoning, has been widely popularized in the catering industry and family life, and has formed an indissoluble bond with the three meals a day of the general public. However, in the face of a wide variety of chicken essence in the market, how to identify its essence and how to use chicken essence reasonably to flavor and refresh it?

First of all, the quality of chicken essence should, of course, be judged by the chicken content and the manufacturing technology. According to this standard, chicken essence can be divided into three categories:

First, chicken essence with high chicken content. Such as "Jiale Brand", "Jiajiapai", "Taitai Music", "Haoji" and "Golden Palace" chicken essence belong to this category. It is mainly refined from chicken powder, salt, malt extract, hydrolyzed protein, eggs, chicken oil, corn starch, white sugar and pepper. It is not only suitable for cooking soup, soup, steaming, frying, stewing, roasting, mixing, frying, frying and marinating, but also suitable for pickling semi-finished products and refreshing and enhancing the taste of various sauce products.

2. Chicken essence with less chicken content, some brand-name products in the market. The price of this kind of chicken essence is relatively low and the quality is relatively inferior. Because of its low meat content, it is necessary to increase the amount of the first kind of chicken essence if it is to be blended with delicacy. In some small and medium-sized restaurants and cold dish stalls, it is not difficult to see operators putting chicken essence and adding monosodium glutamate, that's all.

3. Chicken essence with little chicken content. The main ingredients are salt, maltodextrin, corn starch, chicken flavor powder, chicken, sodium inosinate, turmeric powder, monosodium glutamate, sugar, vegetable oil, hydrolyzed protein and so on. It not only has the flavor of chicken, but also has the compound flavor of other fresh flavors; Suitable for general stir-frying, braising and soup making, and also suitable for seasoning sauces and marinades. Most low-end hot pot restaurants use this kind of chicken essence because its price is the cheapest among the three types.

Chicken essence is very popular in today's catering market because it can not only increase freshness, but also improve taste. Some lawless elements do not hesitate to open underground dens to process and manufacture fake chicken essence for profiteering. These imitation brand-name chicken essence, or chicken with little or no chicken at all, are made by mixing fish bone powder, starch, pepper, garlic powder and salt. This kind of fake chicken essence is produced in workshops with extremely poor sanitary environment and serious bacteria such as Escherichia coli exceeding the standard. Fake chicken essence not only makes consumers suffer economic losses, but also makes consumers' health seriously threatened. Therefore, when using chicken essence, we should recognize the brand and identify the quality to prevent being fooled.
