Chicken essence contains 40% monosodium glutamate.

The difference between chicken essence and monosodium glutamate

1, Chicken essence is a compound seasoning with fresh and chicken flavor, which is based on fresh chicken, chicken bones and fresh eggs, and is compounded with salt, sugar, monosodium glutamate, chicken powder, spices, inosinic acid, guanylic acid and chicken flavor essence after cooking, decompression and juice extraction.

2. Chicken essence can be used in all occasions of monosodium glutamate application, and it can achieve the effect when it is added to dishes, soups and pasta, and its effect is obvious 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, but simply let you "replace monosodium glutamate until it is delicious"; At most, I will give you a clear soup formula, "dissolve 20 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 good 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.
