Difference between Chicken Essence and MSG:

Chicken Essence it is made by adding chemical seasoning to MSG. It is called chicken essence because the nucleotides carry the fresh flavor of chicken.

Amount added to dishes, soups and pasta can achieve the effect. Chicken essence contains a variety of amino acids in addition to sodium glutamate. It is a home-style condiment that can both increase people's appetite and provide certain nutrition. MSG products pay more attention to the fresh flavor, so the MSG content is higher; chicken essence focuses on the product from the natural fresh flavor of chicken, so the use of chicken powder is higher.

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a kind of seasoning, which is a crystallized sodium glutamate purified by fermentation from grain as raw material, and its main ingredient is monosodium glutamate, which belongs to one of the richest non-essential amino acids in nature, and its main function is to increase the freshness of food, and it is used the most in Chinese cuisine, and it can be used in soups and sauces as well.

Monosodium glutamate (MSG), also known as monosodium glutamate (MSG), is a kind of seasoning, and its main ingredient is monosodium glutamate. It is important to note that if MSG is used in high temperatures above 100 degrees Celsius, it has been proven by scientists that when MSG is heated at 100 degrees Celsius for half an hour, only 0.3 percent of the monosodium glutamate is generated as monosodium pyroglutamate, which has little effect on the human body.

The literature reports that monosodium pyroglutamate is not harmful to the human body. Also if in an alkaline environment, MSG will react chemically to produce a substance called disodium glutamate. So it should be used and stored properly.
