Chicken powder is a flavor agent extracted from chicken. Its main components are chicken powder, monosodium glutamate, salt, chicken essence, sugar and various amino acids. Chicken essence and chicken powder have different ingredients, different sources and different things.

The main function of chicken essence is to adjust freshness and flavor, and the main function of chicken powder is to increase the flavor of food.

Chicken powder tastes better.

1, monosodium glutamate in chicken essence accounts for about 40%, and does not contain ingredients extracted from chicken and chicken bones. The flavor-presenting substances are mainly sodium glutamate and flavor-presenting nucleotides, while chicken powder contains substances extracted from chicken, which have both the flavor of sodium glutamate and nucleotides and the flavor of chicken and chicken bones, and are relatively more fragrant.

2. In addition, chicken essence is granular and chicken powder is powdery. When used, the dissolution speed of chicken powder is relatively faster than that of chicken essence, and the chicken powder is more delicious. So cooking with chicken powder will taste better.
