Chicken essence is a common seasoning, and people usually put some chicken essence in cooking to flavor it. Let me take you to learn more about it.
Efficacy and function of chicken essence
Chicken essence is delicious, and when used in moderation in cooking, it can stimulate appetite. The umami of chicken essence mainly comes from sodium glutamate, which is the sodium salt of glutamic acid. It has a strong meat umami and is easily soluble in water. After chicken essence enters the gastrointestinal tract, the sodium glutamate contained in it can be quickly decomposed into glutamic acid. Glutamate is an amino acid, which participates in metabolic activities in human body, has the functions of improving brain function and stabilizing people's mood, and is beneficial to intellectual development.
Chicken essence is flat, sour, appetizing and digestive, and its nutritional value is higher than that of monosodium glutamate.
Chicken essence is delicious but hardly nutritious. Most of the nutrients in chicken are protein and fat. Eating too much will lead to obesity. Chicken essence is deficient in calcium, iron, carotene, thiamine, riboflavin, nicotinic acid, vitamins and crude fiber, which can easily lead to sub-health after long-term consumption.
according to scientific investigation, the consumption of chicken essence has a great influence on human health, especially on the health of the elderly and women.
In addition, some unscrupulous traders add hormones to chicken feed, which leads to hormone residues in chicken essence and will also affect human health.
Pregnant women who eat chicken essence containing hormones will lead to milk withdrawal and obesity. Minors can also lead to precocious puberty. What will happen if you eat too much chicken essence?
Chicken essence is not extracted from chicken, it is made by adding fresh-keeping nucleotides on the basis of monosodium glutamate! Generally speaking, monosodium glutamate and chicken essence are actually the same kind of things, but the flavor of chicken essence is richer.
what happens when you eat too much chicken essence? From the health point of view, chicken essence is harmful to human body. When cooking, if too much chicken essence is added, it will lead to excessive intake of sodium glutamate in a short time, exceeding the metabolic capacity of the body, directly endangering human health, and even causing food poisoning and even cancer.
When monosodium glutamate is ingested too much, too many inhibitory neurotransmitters will also inhibit the secretion of thyrotropin from human hypothalamus, which will hinder the development of bones, especially for children. In animal experiments, it is found that young mice and chickens are most seriously injured by monosodium glutamate, which will destroy the cranial and optic nerves.
when the consumption of monosodium glutamate exceeds the metabolic capacity of the body, it will also lead to the increase of glutamic acid content in the blood, which will limit the utilization of essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium and copper. In particular, glutamic acid can combine with zinc in blood, and the zinc glutamate that cannot be used is excreted, resulting in zinc deficiency in human body. Zinc is an important nutrient for infants' physical and intellectual development. Therefore, infants and lactating mothers should fast or eat less monosodium glutamate.
if you eat too much monosodium glutamate, you will often feel thirsty. This is because monosodium glutamate contains sodium, and because monosodium glutamate is not salty, it is easy to eat too much and not notice it. People over the age of 6 are particularly sensitive to sodium intake, so the elderly and people suffering from diseases such as hypertension, kidney disease and edema should especially eat less monosodium glutamate.
It should also be noted that chicken essence contains nucleotides, and its metabolite is uric acid, so patients with heart or immune system diseases or skin diseases and liver diseases should never put chicken essence in cooking. Precautions of chicken essence
1. Who can't eat chicken essence < P > Patients with memory impairment, hypertension, pregnant women and infants should not eat chicken essence; Old people and children should not eat more chicken essence.
2. Suitable crowd of chicken essence
Ordinary adults can eat it.
3. Taboo of chicken essence
Chicken essence itself has no direct nutrition for people, so it is better to eat as little as possible. Take at most 5 ~ 1g each time. Chicken essence can't be eaten directly, but should be added to food. What's the difference between chicken essence and monosodium glutamate?
1. Chicken essence is a compound of fresh chicken, chicken bones and fresh eggs, which is made by cooking, decompressing and extracting juice, adding salt, sugar, monosodium glutamate, chicken powder, spices, inosinic acid, guanylic acid and chicken flavor essence.
2. Chicken essence can be used in all occasions where monosodium glutamate is applied, and it can achieve the effect when it is added to dishes, soups and pasta, especially in soups. Chicken essence contains a variety of flavoring agents, and its taste is comprehensive and coordinated. Because it contains salt, you should pay attention to adding less salt when seasoning.
3. Most manufacturers don't suggest the dosage of chicken essence, so they just let you? Instead of monosodium glutamate, add it until it is delicious? ; At most, I will give you a recipe for clear soup. Dissolve 2 grams of chicken essence in 1 liter of boiling water? . Therefore, the dosage of chicken essence is individualized and random. The monosodium glutamate is relatively pure and the dosage is relatively stable.
4. monosodium glutamate is easily soluble in water, so it is generally effective to add monosodium glutamate before cooking, and the taste of dishes will be more delicious. Because if monosodium glutamate is heated in aqueous solution for a long time, a small part of it will lose water to produce sodium pyroglutamate, which is harmless, but has no flavor. The usage of chicken essence seems to be much looser, at least no manufacturer reminds consumers which part of the cooking process to add chicken essence.
