Chicken essence is a complex condiment that adds more flavoring ingredients to MSG.

Overconsumption of MSG can lead to poisoning and should be consumed with caution.

Monosodium glutamate is a very pure fresh flavor agent, the main ingredient is monosodium glutamate, which is currently refined and refined by microbial fermentation using carbohydrates (starch, molasses, etc.) as raw materials. It has no salty taste, but is capable of producing a fresh taste when placed in a salty and properly flavored solution. Chicken essence, on the other hand, is a mixture of a variety of flavor-presenting substances, which has the freshness of both MSG and other flavor-presenting substances. It is produced after the emergence of new products such as flavor-presenting nucleotides, hydrolyzed animal and plant proteins, yeast extracts, etc., and it can be said to be a new generation of MSG. The advantage of chicken essence is mainly reflected in the flavor. Some people say that chicken essence is made of chicken, although chicken essence advertisements claim that "made of top-quality fat chicken", packaging chicken essence on the bag is also a picture of a fat chicken, but in fact, the main ingredients of chicken essence is salt, dextrin and monosodium glutamate (MSG), plus disodium nucleotides, spices, sugar, curry powder and so on. Nucleotides plus organic salts, sugar and spices, some products also contain "hydrolyzed protein" or "yeast extract", which can bring a variety of amino acid flavor, plus chicken flavor, etc., mixed together, can make the taste appear more natural and rich. Of course there are some quality chicken flavorings that do contain a small amount of ingredients from natural foods, but they are nothing more than chicken meal or chicken bone meal, egg extract, etc. The actual content is very small, and some chicken flavorings don't even contain chicken meal at all. Hope this helps
